Stop Lurking and Start Posting!! Introduce Yourself Here!

[Capt. Bob]

Welcome aboard Michael.

Hard for these old eyes to see but it appears to have a port window/hole in the first pic so it may not be a SeaHunter but rather a 246 CCC (Center Console Cuddy).

I'd say you're right about the bracket/livewell. Not really something seen back then.

Might you post a pic of the deck?

[centrop67]

It's definitely not a cuddy. I added a couple more photos and included a slightly larger version of the whole boat. Hope that helps.

One other anomaly is the GIANT center console.

[Capt. Bob]

Maybe this?

[centrop67]

Thanks for the suggestions. Absolutely could be a basic 240.

And to be clear, the model is not all that important to me - fishing ability is #1, and this boat has been wonderful.

The reason I thought maybe a sea hunter is the ventilation plates. I saw them on both the inboard and outboard Sea Hunter pictures. I didn't see those ventilation plates on any other model.

There's a very similar inboard in my area, but I haven't had a chance to speak with that owner.

It's also quite possible that mine was an inboard at one time.

Finally, the basic 240 appears to have a different front deck (one-level w/o the fish box cut out) and deeper transom. I can see where the transom may have been replaced, but it would be odd for the front deck to get reconfigured, right?

It looks like this boat has been rebuilt and customized.  The front casting area is custom with newer type hatches and the fuel fill and vent channel on the starboard inboard side is not stock.  Nice looking rig though.  Is it 24 or 22, just the hull not including platform and anchor pulpit?

[Capt. Bob]

Michael,
It's been at least 25 years but.....

Is that last pic coming out of Black Point?

[centrop67]

It's registered as a 24. I believe the engine bracket and anchor pulpit made the previous owner advertise it as a 27.

Yes, that is Blackpoint. I live real close to there.

BTW it's has two fuel tanks. A 74 and 35. Bimini this year I hope.

I just want to add a couple of more thoughts to my introduction, then I'll start reviewing other threads to see if any info is available for my needs.

I've given some thought to adding a second helm to the top, where I can stand on the console. The boat has some blind spots for me while operating it, and I could use the height for fishing activities.

The port side gunnel has some deterioration, and will be in need of some repair soon. I'll also be looking at new interior paint, and maybe exterior (though, I am weighing this against the added weight, because it's already a pretty heavy boat.).

The new four-stroke added some weight to the back, and during fishing the aft section always seems to have some water in it. I didn't have that problem with the original (when I bought it) two stroke, and I ended up having to install a better bilge system. The boat has no leaks, but the drains end up beneath water line when there's more than one one person at the stern. Any ideas on balancing the weight issue?

Hello,
Just bought an Aquasport 19-1 Osprey and the wife and I are loving it. Not too sure on all the specifics yet but I am sure this is the place to be for any info I may need. We live in midcoast Maine and got it for island hopping and lazing around on the mooring. So far great success...She needs some cosmetic work, some engine tune up and a name but all in good time. Below is the only pic of it I have at the moment but I am on the left and my buddy on the right with the boat he built a few years ago anchored off Bar island in the muscle ridge.

Welcome Eric  - she seems to be in good shape.
