First boat is an Aquasport....
« Reply #195 on: April 14, 2010, 08:44:24 PM »
After having some great friends let me enjoy their boats for the last couple years I finally pulled the trigger on my first boat this year so that I'd have more freedom and be able to get my wife and son out on the water.  It may not be a "classic" but I got a 2004 Aquasport Osprey 200 off the hull truth.  Came with a trailer and a Yamaha 115 4 stroke with only 28 hours on it.  The boat is in mint condition, not a scratch on the hull, and I can't wait to get out in the local waters for some flounder and stripers.  I'm glad I found this site and hope I'll be able to pick up some tips from some of the more experienced Aquasport owners on this site!

I'm located just north of Boston.  Yup, that's the boat I got......where'd you find the ad for the Osprey 200 40th anniversary?  Only difference is mine is the white hull.  Can't wait to get this baby registered and out on the water!

North of Boston where?  Lynn, Beverly, Gloucester?  Maybe we can get an Aquasport party raft going in Kettle Cove (in Magnolia) this summer!!  It's great for kids to swim in as the entire cove has a nice sandy bottom.  Anyone else here from Boston area?

SH,
She is a sweet boat, you'll love her!  The 115 will do you fine, but I will say she's a lot of fun with a 150!  Enjoy her! :thumleft:  :thumleft:

I am also in Beverly.  I usually dump the boat in over by the Kernwood Bridge.  They are doing the ramp over now and will be the same as Pope's Landing when finished.  I also say them dredging the Danvers River this spring.  I hope they go down to the Bowl-O-Mat ramp too.  I want to try putting in on the Essex river this year...save some gas going to Crane's Beach.
