Stop Lurking and Start Posting!! Introduce Yourself Here!

Hi All,
I just purchased a used boat and it's not a Aquasport but I hear its a rebadged Aquasport Striper 165. It's a 1998 Wellcraft 160 ccf with a 2001 Johnson 70 with tilt and trim. Looking forward to learning a few things about it. I've been driving the boat a few evenings. The boat runs perfect and it's perfect for what I want to do with it which is fishing above Shenandoah River freshwater dams in my home of Page County, VA and fishing tributaries of the Chesapeake Bay.
Thanks,
Kirk

Welcome aboard Kirk - the boat seems to be in good shape. Back in those years the Wellcraft and Aquasports were made/built on parallel lines, so sometimes they rebadged and created a new model by doing so.

Hi everyone,
New to this site, I'm from Northeast Connecticut and have been a long time boater and fisherman. Just purchased my second Aquasport which is a 1970 19-1 that I am planning on restoring and am sure I will be seeking help from all of you. I'm posting a few pictures of me first getting It home before I do anything to it. And I know it needs a good cleaning desperately.









I'm looking forward to working on this over the next few years

Glad to see you made it on here!  That looks like a great starting point!

Thanks, started a new thread in 191 rebuilds with pics of where I'm at so far

Hi all. My name's Mike and I'm from northern Michigan. Not many Aquasports up this way. I'm thinking on buying an 1988 17' cc about 6 hours from here and needed to know what to look for when I see it. I read the "buyers bible" and there was some good information in that. I've owned boats for over 50 years but the only glass one was a whaler so glass boats are sort of new for me. Trailers and engines I'm familiar with. This one comes with a 90 which I hope is big enough to get the boat up and moving. Any information you might have is much needed and appreciated!

[RickK]

The 90 will push that boat near 40mph - plenty for most people.

Hello there!

I'm new to the forum, just picked up a '73 222 semi V, she's water worthy but needs a few things to make her shine. She's in Pine Island Florida, so will be fishing the skinny waters and the near shore Gulf of Mexico.

Hoping you guys can give me some hint's tips and direction. She's my first boat, took me a few years to find, I'm in no rush going to try to do some of the work myself.

Thanks

PI222.

Hello everyone!

I'm Brian and I'm new to this site and a new boat owner. I live on Whidbey Island just outside Oak Harbor, WA.

One week ago I purchased a 1978 Xscape 190 bowrider for $150, no motor or controls, but the steering is there. The steering rod is slightly bent a little. After pressure washing it and cleaning it up, it looks a lot better. I will be restoring it as best I can and I can't wait to start learning from you all on this site along with studying at YouTube university, Lol.

Welcome Brian, I have in-laws in Port Townsed, I plan on doing quite a bit of goofing around up there when my restoration is complete. It is a beautiful bunch of water in those parts.

[RickK]

Welcome Brian - we'll help you as much as we can, but the Xscape model is not real well known here.  When it comes to fiberglass, that is well known here.

Recently bought a 1987 170 Osprey with a 2005 Johnson 90 2-stroke. This is my first boat and I am loving it! Here are a few pics:
