Hi All- new to the forum so just saying 'hi.'
Picked up a new-to-me '01 205 Osprey and looking forward to getting out on the water after some repairs.  Got the electronics installed, cleaned the deck, and waxed the hull last weekend, so getting close!

Good Afternoon everyone, Thanks for accepting me to your awesome site. Just picked up my first ever boat an 1986 200 osprey. I am excited but also nervous coming in to the boating world. I hope to get some expert advice on fixing it up some. It has had some upgrades already like a closed transom and a small deck bracketing a Johnson 130HP. Here are some pics.

Thanks for adding me.  I just purchased a 1979 246 CCP and started my Poor Mans Dream boat project.  I'm sure I'll as a few dumb question along the way as well as steal a few ideas.  I started a gallery to show the progress.

  aboard Jay. Looks like someone moved the console quite a bit forward but I don't see any holes in the floor behind the console 
Anyway, nice looking rig.

Dusty here. I've owned what I thought was a 1972 22-2 12 degree for 40 years, title says '72 but yesterday I actually read the number on the stern and it appears I may have a 1974. We're in the process of getting her ready to return to Florida for my Son and Grandsons to love like we have. She needs some work, the hull and transom are in great shape but the floor has developed soft sandwich disease, thanks to the PO not sealing the holes he put in it. Got the 60 gal fuel tank out, cut 3 access holes, cleaned it out, and have now pulled in all new hoses from the gunnel fittings to the engine including a new shut off. It has a fairly low hours 1987 Johnson 200GT that will need some post storage (15 years) going over, the trim and tilt works perfect and the engine still turns over by hand. I was really meticulous with wash down and lube spray so it looks like new under the cowl. I'll post pictures as soon as I figure out how to make them small enough!
