Hello!

My name is Anthony and I recently purchased a 1976 170

Very happy with the hull and suits most of my fishing very well - excited to find this resource and many knowledgable 170 owners on this site! First project is going to be removing the console and replacing the original gas tank - currently running on 2 5gal tanks. Any and all information would be apprecaited!

Thanks,

[RickK]

Welcome to the site Anthony - check out the fuel tank forum for many examples to help you.  Also check out the Osprey rebuild forum to include the 170 rebuild forum for more info.

Hi everyone! This is all very new to me! I have a 87' AquaRay Sport Sea&Ski. I have recently acquired... while doing some research I have found a few things very odd. I can't seem to find another like mine!  I look forward to any help or insight you may have!  Thanks, for the join!!

Welcome aboard to both Tony and BC.

both you guys should post a couple of pics of your craft.

BC, I'm thinkin' that you're not finding a whole on your model due to the chance it's not a model that Aquasport made.
Pics will tell.

Hello,
New here and happy to be accepted. I have a 1975 Cruise Craft 17 which is the same hull/mold as an Aquasport. Looking to gain some great ideas on rebuilding this one, have had a lot of fun with it so far with some paint and fiberglass work.

Here is the 170 1976 I have - anyone run T-Tops on these?

New member here from Gloucester, Va. I picked up a 1988 Aquasport 170 a couple of weeks ago. She needs some TLC but i have the next 4 months off of work to get some of it done before the spring rolls around and i launch her!!!
She has a soft spot on the sole behind the seat, needs another binnacle (already have on hand), going to pull the tank out and inspect it and replace if needed. Even thought no fuel smell in bilge at all. She just needs TLC overall and well as trailer needs attention. She came with a 1989 Johnson 70hp that starts right up and purrs like a kitten. I have already winterized it for the year. Going to put it in my garage and start getting to work on it. My 4 months off will be over before I know it!!!

Recently acquired a 1972 22-2.  Thought I would be doing a quick sand/fair/paint on the hull and be done.  But, started repairing some damage on the transom cap and found some rot in the transom.  So, look for a rebuild thread from me!!
