Hey there WATERMAN!!!!!

Welcome aboard and to the site.  I too am a new Aquasport owner.  Mine is a 1998 225 Explorer with a 200 Evinrude Ocean Pro which was rebuilt in 04 and has about 400 hours on.  Got mine at the end of august and have been using it like crazy!  It is a great boat and I get tons of compliments whenever i am coming into the boat ramp to take out.  

Today I changed my lower unit oil and am getting ready to winterize the ater system.  Hopefully i will get one more month out of her.  Best of Luck to you!

Although I am not new to the Aquasport family I am new to this wonderful site. What a great bunch of boating enthusiast. Everyone seems  helpful and willing to share their own knowledge. I am the proud owner of a 1983 170 Osprey with a 1982 Johnson 115 seahorse thats happiest when its in saltwater searching for Redfish, Speckled trout and various other species of fish. Thanks to all of you for sharing your knowledge, photos and ideas and hopefully I can be of some help to others on this site in the future. Happy boating.

Yes I have more pics, just not sure how to get them on tis page.  Give me your email and I will send them to you.  I love my boat and the hardtop was a must when I was looking for the boat, this was a find.  Where do you live?  I am in Smithtown, right by the hospital and golf course.  My email is string0716@verizon.net

i also found a company in Maryland that does the hardtops, they ship and have a local installer.  It will cost about 5-6K.

I just joined the forum, however, I have been looking for some time at all the great postings on the 170. I was apprehensive about buying an older boat that needs some work. I must tell you all that the amount of quality information and knowledge shared on this great little boat is incredible. I have owned two larger new boats, most recently a 21' Seaswirl walkaround. I just purchased my first Aquasport 170 and I am so exited about this boat. I will post pics as soon as I can. I also wanted to say that I love how hard core some of you are. I have been restoring old Volkswagons for several years and I don't shy away from hard work. From what I have seen I am in very good company. Thank you all and I look forward to talking with all of you soon. :albino:

Thanks, I hope to have some photos posted soon. Had newly  upholstered seat cushions put back on swing seat and seat  in front of console today, they make a Hugh improvement on appearance. Now if I can just paint the deck and replace rusted stubborn bolts on transom holding outboard on I'll be content (for a little while).
