Welcome aboard Ray.

I believe the forward cooler is 32 qt. The 2000 catalog only lists the forward cooler seat option (not size) but the 2001 thru 2003 (last year the 165 was listed) catalogs show the option as a 32 qt. cooler seat so.....

Good luck.

Hello everyone,

A month ago I took purchase of a 87’ Aquasport 22-2 CCP. I purchased it from a colleague, who had already redone the majority of the boat. He bubble leveled the boat, redid the stringers, new 80 gallon fuel tank, rigging tube, rigging wires, few foam, enclosed the transom, and a few more things. So far I have put in the deck ( 2 layers of glass), console done, transom faired out and painted, and livewell built. I have a 2007 225 Yamaha 4 stroke with a Atlas bracket with a 14” setback. Should be mounting it mid next week. Have a lot more work to go, but hopefully will be done around late April so I can add her to the charter fleet and get after it. Look forward to sharing the pics along the way. Any advice is appreciated. Thanks!

Welcome aboard CS 
Sounds like most of the work is already done

Yes, most of the technical work was done ahead of time, thank the lord.

HI Guys-  Three years ago I bought a place on a small island here (Cape Cod, MAss) The island has no bridge and no roads, no motor vehicles ashore.  To commute from nearby land I used to row over, about a ten minute row but very healthy, of course.  I used to do that all year round, ice and all, when I lived there for 10 years back in the 1970-80's.  Now however with family and need for shuffling tools and materials I found a pretty nice old AquaSport 22.   Has been really good and takes Buzzards Bay chop much better than any old Whaler.  Now however I am thinking a little bigger and have found a SeaHunter 240.  Also found a new(almost new) Mercruiser 140 with everything.  Any thoughts?  I see from early brochures on the 240 that the 140HP Mercruiser was the lowest power option.  Note that I do not intend to chase tuna at the continental shelf.   25 kts is fine for me.  Great boats.  Any thoughts?  Cheers/  Bob

   Bob. I don't have any experience with I/Os but someone that does will be around soon.

Hi guys, new member here just thought I'd introduce myself, I'm Chris and I live in Darwin Australia. I am rebuilding/converting an old Seafarer half cabin (16 1/2 ft) and came across the site looking for rebuilding experiences and tips. I'm converting to a centre console and will be replacing the stringers, floor, building a console and adding an outboard pod. Anyway, thanks for having me and I will start a rebuild thread once I get more materials stockpiled and some time to get stuck in
Thanks, Chris

Thanks guys

  aboard Tomas.  We've had a lot of members here over the years from Italy.  Sorry to see that your country is getting hammered by this virus so bad. I think we'll be getting hit pretty hard too.

If you want to post a pic when you talk about your boat, which you should, follow the instructions here http://classicaquasport.com/smf/index.php?topic=12725.0  - don't attach them - you are limited by file size. Uploading them into your personal gallery is better for viewing.
Spend a few minutes to absorb the instructions. It's really easy. Remember if using a phone to take pics, to hold the phone horizontal with the lens to the left.

Hello Aquasport lovers, I'm Dennis
In the process of buying a 2005 175 Osprey with a 90 Johnson.
This boat is in San Pedro Town on Ambergris Caye in Belize. It's been sitting out of
the water for the better part of 6 years. Obviously the entire fuel system required
cleaning and other related problems. But true to form, a 2 stroke is hard to kill. I've
been trying to run down the HIN from whatever source I can find. Have already
contacted Boca Bay Boats, Ebbtide. But they don't have any data prior to acquisition.
If anyone knows where files for boats manufactured in 2004 might be, I would appreciate
an email. Thanks

Welcome aboard Dennis.    Good luck on the purchase.
