I am the new owner of an 01 Osprey 250 Tournament Edition with twin Evinrude 150s. Needs a couple of minor things fixed, a little rebedding to slow some moisture, but the surveyor says she's in above average condition. Can't wait to wet a line off her on the Chesapeake!

The 250 Osprey is a nice big boat and around that year model Genmar combined some of the features like the higher freeboard that the older models had (the freeboard is below knee high on my 170 anywhere on the boat) but you still have the casting deck.  A good offshore boat. I think you'll enjoy her.  Post up some pix when you get a chance.

I will Rick. I'm planning on taking her out of Oregon Inlet offshore once I get everything buttoned up.  I'll post up how it goes. My SIL was head of Dealer Finance for Wellcraft/Genmar around the time this boat was built and I've liked this style when I saw it then.

Good afternoon AS'ers :)

I love in Tampa Florida and am looking to upgrade our family 14' John Boat with a 9.9 Mariner to a more suitable boat for us to cruise and fish! Family of four, 1 boy at 15 and 1 girl at 12. :)

I ran across this forum from The Hull Truth page and I joined to do my due diligence in research before purchasing a boat. I am sold on the Aquasport and am looking now to purchase.

As of now, I want to look at the 196, 200 or 222 boat.

So thank you and I look forward to posting pictures of a newly acquired AS if I get one!

Welcome aboard, Christopher!  I had a 200, now have a 205, and am rebuilding a 22-2.  Obviously I'm a little biased, but I don't think can go wrong with an AS.  Plenty of knowledgeable folks on this site to help answer any questions you may have.  Good luck with your search!
