Jaime, I've been in the same ballpark for a 29 gallon tank.  Lowest I got was $550 plus shipping, highest was $750 plus shipping, and I did a fair amount of shopping.  I'll regret it, but I decided to leave my 26 gallon tank under the console. $250 brand new...  Look forward to watching your build.

Hey, Fellow Aquasport Friends!

My name is Marty, and I have a 25' Tournament Edition with the original 225 Mercury Outboard with 660 hours.  I bought the boat at the beginning of the season last year.  I was downsizing from a 31' Chaparral cruiser, which my family enjoyed.  Now, the kids are grown, and I always wanted something I can fish with.

I keep my boat moored in Cold Spring Harbor, New York, which is an absolutely lovely harbor with quick access to the Long Island Sound, and all the waters of Connecticut and more.  Have a great Covid-free season!

Welcome aboard Marty. What model boat do you have?  Tournament master is a trim package, not a model.

Hello people I hope you all are doing well. My name is Scott and the wife and I recently purchased a 1987 Osprey 200. The original plan was to slap a 115 Johnson on her and start enjoying her but upon bringing her home we've now decided to make her pretty again. All in all things look and feel pretty solid with mainly cosmetics such as spider cracks, chips in the gel coat, seat coverings, and stickers from the fish camp that we got her from. I'm going to need top mount controls as well because the donor boat has side mount....I did mention she was a project didn't I? LOL.  I'm going to be putting her under a shelter today so I can start working on things in my downtime. Once I start I will try to get some pics posted and I'm sure I will have plenty of questions.

Welcome aboard copacetic !! Congrats on the new family member.

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 "member 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.

Welcome aboard Scott.

Thanks guys! I appreciate the welcome. Ran out of light yesterday getting her off the trailer and been working in the garden this morning but hopefully will get her set up today and I'll snap a few pics and try to post them to my gallery.
