  Chris - boat looks to be in decent shape - and you're right, they have quirks.
I am doing a rebuild but I'm probably not the right guy to ask about how long it takes to complete it

Hey everyone, just wanted to say hello and you will be seeing me around here. Think this site is awesome, looking at some of the pics. I'm from Philadelphia but boat out of Cape May NJ. I have a 2003 201 osprey with a Johnson 4stroke 140hp pushing her around. I also had a 1988 222 express fisherman.

Tight lines,  Joe

Hello everyone my name is Matt and I am from Michigan, this is a great site and I just acquired a 19'6 1979 Aqua sport Family Fisherman that has twin 1975 85 HP Evinrude motors, I am in the process of going through the boat and motors. Any and all advice and tips with things to check with this model will be appreciated. Thank You in advance.

New here and I've already found a wealth of knowledge! I just got a new to me '76 22-2 FF. After a few fixes, I'll be hitting the water in my own boat. I'm looking forward to the adventures. Thanks in advance for the tips and advice that I'll find here!

  aboard "Y-knot".  We have a ton of FF members ( I get a few applicants with FFs a week) who enjoy the great multi-function ability of the model.  Congrats on the new family member

Hi Everyone.

My name is Michael, and I live  in South Florida. Last year, I bought an old (1973) Aquasport. It was advertised as a 27 footer on Craigslist, but of course it's really a 24. Based on a little looking around here, I believe it's a 240 Sea Hunter, but I have yet to see any configured exactly like it.

I am assuming the transom bracket was not an option back in 73. The Top and Bow Rail also look like newer additions to me.

Anyway, I was a flats guide for several years and really enjoyed that type of fishing. I bought the Aquasport to do offshore fishing, and it has delivered well. I added  a brand new four stroke outboard last November. I love everything about this boat. It's solid for its age, and just a little heavier than anything you can buy new today. I love going thru waves versus bouncing around.

I am looking forward to sharing and learning from all the other Aquasport owners out there.



Is it possible this transom with the livewell was an option in 73?
