Stop Lurking and Start Posting!! Introduce Yourself Here!

Hi all, my names Evan from Clearwater, Fl. I used to own a 1999 16' Sabalo Flats boat with a 55HP yamaha 2 stroke. That was sold about  8 or 9 years ago when I moved to california. Now I'm back in Satellite Beach Fl launching rockets out of cape canaveral and I've been bit by the fishing bug again. Currently looking to purchase a 19'6' for rebuilding by someone other than myself. I have a wife and two kids with one on the way so I know I would never have time to do the rebuild my self. Anyways, hello everyone, I've been enjoying the rebuild pictures for quite some time.

Hi All new member here didn't want to be accused of lurking. I'm from the Gulf Coast Mississippi and I am considering buying this 2000 Ospray Sport 215. Other than it needing a conditioning it looks to be in good condition. I know these boats are very good boats so the design is not the issue. It has a Johnson 200 with less than 200 hours on it. Other than the typical things to check are there specific problems with this year and model and What should I look for before I put hard cash down. Thanks and glad to be a member

Well we don't see a lot of this model but it's a Genmar hull so I'm thinking build wise it's fine.
This is what little we have.



The dual console (DC), "walkthrough", bow rider hull style is popular with families and Aquasport has had a few. The Sandpiper is the old style and the Genmar DC the latter. They have lots of room in the cockpit for fishing and the seating area up front but the open bow lends itself to fishing also. Wide beam for the length. Should ride very well.

Good luck and welcome aboard.

I'm just up the road in Thomasville. Yep - That was Dog Island. My inlaws just got a small place in Lanark Village.

Just joined site and  thinking of buying 86 20ft CC looks real clean.  Just can't make up my mind. Sump is not working and he has a pretty good temp tank installed for last 5 years.   Any suggestions appreciated

joined the site earlier this year, haven't been on much as I work with computers all day and when I get home would rather be doing something else. own a 95 175 ospray, love the boat. only complaint would be  that it's a very wet boat, but who cares as long as gets you to fishing grounds. I have re powered with a yamaha 90 and never looked back. currently working on new instrument panel and locating a gas smell, sending unit or hose i think.

Another 215 DC here! Just purchased and just joined the club.

She is in superb condition for a 1999 powered by a Johnson 200. I loaded some pics in the gallery... more to follow.


Looking forward to all the info on the board. Thanks for the intro email Rick!

Sea ya!
