Hello to all,
 My name is Nick Winger. I'm located in the Tampa area and am in the process of a total restore on a 68 222 flatback. I stumbled upon this awesome site while looking for fairing/painting info. I started the project back in my guiding days and never had time to finish. I love the classic hulls around the Tampa and Boca Grande area and can't wait to finally finish and be stalking tarpon, permit, and cobia out of my customized ride that I've built with my own hands!
  Rather than stringers I went with a grid to fit and support my tower. I'm almost finished back to the transom and 100% appreciate and look forward to everyone's knowledge, experience, and opinions on my future questions.
  Thank you all in advance for this awesome site!!

   Nick,
Take a few minutes to read the short instructions in this link http://classicaquasport.com/smf/index.php?topic=12725.0
You don't want attach pics, much easier for everyone to see if you follow these easy instructions.

Hello, I am Warren Tamargo and I have been trying to get back on this site for some time now.  Forgot all my original info and was just lucky enough to get in with the new format.  I am the original owner of a 1987-6 I/O (175 Marina) which I have kept in a garage all these years as I used it.  She looks as new as the day I bought Her. Engine runs great. Evan the original I axel trailer with all rollers is pristine.  I use it up here in Tn. in freshwater lakes. Locals get a kick out of my "Big Ocean Boat" but it sure tames the rough waters when it's windy. Any way just wanted to come aboard.

Welcome back Warren
Spend a couple minutes looking at this thread and post up some pix of the boat http://classicaquasport.com/smf/index.php?topic=12725.0

Hello all! I am new here. My name is Adam , I live in Morehead city ,NC. I have a 1990 Aquasport. I think it is a 222CCP but not certain could be a 22-2 CCP ?? I bought this boat about 6 months ago, love the ride ,preparing for a repower. Hoping to be done by spring.

Welcome aboard Adam.

1990 was a transition year. Aquasport had gone into bankruptcy, was purchased by an individual and then sold to Genmar. Your hull was most likely the last of the Hialeah produced hulls but may have had final completion elsewhere. It makes an interesting talking point at the very least. Pics would be greatly appreciated.

It would be a 222 CCP.
The 22-2 designation hadn't been used for some time.

Good luck.

[Adam927]

Thanks for the info! I don't really know anything about these boats besides that I like the hull design and I was really surprised at how well it handled in the water. A friend of mine has a Seaswirl and that thing is like a barge compared to my Aquasport lol. I did post som pics in the gallery. Have not figured out how to add them to my posts yet.

[Capt. Bob]

Nice lookin' CCP

Try this. You have the hard part done. It's easy once you get it in the Gallery.

I did post som pics in the gallery. Have not figured out how to add them to my posts yet.

If you are using a laptop of PC the instructions in the link I posted should walk you through.
If you're using a tablet or phone it is a little tougher but the gallery is the same on all devices.  It's how you copy and paste on the mobile that is different.  We can help you either way.
Also, post in this thread with all the CCP owners  http://classicaquasport.com/smf/index.php?topic=3847.0

Good afternoon everyone, my name is Stephen. Recently I have purchased an '87 mid V 222. Just starting the restoration process. I'm glad I found this site and have not yet to begin to research all the info I need. Mainly, I want to redo my deck and stringers. I have had a hard time finding specs on any older aqua models and I'm sure all the information is on this site. To begin my project, I have replaced the original gas tank, new lines, enclosed the transom and re powered. Of anyone has the information or who to contact about pre-fab stringers for this model, it would be much appreciated. There is a company out there that I have been informed about that prefabricates stringers for this model, I'm just not sure who it is. Below is a pic of my beloved triple deuce. She has a few soft spots in the deck, but she's pretty sound overall. Went with raymarine electronics and have been thrilled. A78 with cp100 and cp200 transducers work wonderfully !

  Stephen, you'll find everything you're looking for here.  Start in the Gallery for specs.
