Welcome aboard yhz!! Check the stamp on the outside of the transom - the last 2 digits are the year.  It was about that time when the 196 "magically" became the 200

Found this forum and it looks great so decided to join.
I have a 2000 205 Osprey and have some questions regarding the fuel sender.
What Forum should I ask on?
I included a Pic of by Osprey.
I keep it in Rockport, TX

hello, i just acquired a new to me 88 170 osprey that was garage kept and was repowered in 09 with one of the last yamaha 90 2-strokes.  got a little bit of good info off here before i committed to buy, and I am very happy with the little boat so far.  looking for advice on where to place a 24v battery bank for a 82# bow mount TM in the near future, but otherwise looking forward to general trouble shooting.

Welcome aboard SW - the 170 is a great inshore boat.  I would start a new thread in Aquasport Discussion forum.

Hello to everyone. My name is Doug and I live in Pensacola, Florida. I’m a retired Army guy and a retired professor (75 years young). Just bought my second ever Aquasport. It’s 2001 model year 230 Tournament Cat with twin Honda 135s (2007). I’ve been on this site as a guest and saw that some members actually built Aquasport boats. I’m sure I’ll be asking a lot of questions as I perform some TLC to my boat. Hoping to hear from any or all of you and happy to be aboard.

Welcome aboard Doug!!  The 230 Cat is a superb fishing machine and a rare model. Won't do real well in 4 footers but anything less should be fine for it.

Hi all! New to the forum as of today. I have a 2002 Osprey 225 with a Yamaha OX66 250. I live in Texas and the boat is based in Port O'Connor. Longest trip offshore is 20 miles at this point. Still working on the boat doing repairs, updates, and upgrades. Happy to be here and looking forward to learning.
