Welcome aboard Viktor.

The CCP is a good bay boat. Hull draft is surprisingly shallow for her size.

Good luck.

New to me 1975 Aquasport 19-6 Family Fisherman powered with Twin 1974 50hp Evinrudes.

My father bought a house and this boat and motors were sitting up on blocks in the backyard. The previous owner had passed away and their family offered me the boat for $1. How could I say no? Not sure how many years but long enough for an inch or two of moss to grow on the bow. The last registration sticker was 1990. It was quite the project as I had no experience restoring boats (especially of this age), but I could tell the transom, hull, and motors were worth investing in by visual inspection.

After working on this boat for 6+ months, I finally got it in the water this past weekend. The 74 'Rudes run like the day they came off the production line. Looking forward to posting pics of before and after once I get it into its final state!

Sounds like a nice score for a buck. Welcome aboard timberline.

Long time lurker, first time poster. Looking at buying a 96’ Osprey 200, or a 2004 250 explorer. Not sure what it is, but I’ve looked at dozens of used boats and keep coming back to AS. Great knowledge on this site and I appreciate y’all sharing it.

Hello All,

My first post and first Aquasport.
I recently scored on a 1980 19-6 with a dandy 2005 F115 ( both one owner).
The boat has been neglected the past two years due to the owners passing and the family saw fit to let me take it home for $200.00.  :)

I look forward to sharing the before pics with you aka: Operation BUTT UGLY.

I am sure I am going to have a lot of questions and look forward to learning with/from you all.
First q:  Does anuone know the bow eye to transom length of th 1980 19-6?
Thank you,

Steve

Hello all, I am new to this group.
I have recently purchased a 1995 Aquasport 245 Adventure with a 300 hp 2016 Suzuki, and a 2016 9.9 kicker.
It's still at the dealership getting all the bugs out.
The engine has 430 hours and I plan on using it for off shore fishing, off the Oregon coast.
Fishing for Salmon and Tuna.
Any information about this model boat would be helpful.
Like fuel tank capacity, etc.
Thanks again for allowing me in your forum.

  aboard VW - the model you have is an Explorer. Should be good for what you're planning.

Hello all,

Buying a 99 215 Explorer this week (finger crossed the compression test and lake run show no issues)! Been looking to buy for over a year now and just never found the right walkaround until now. Missed a couple other Aquasports before this one, hoping third time is a charm. I will post pics when I pick it up and get it home but here is the boat trader link for those who are interested.

She needs a whole lotta love and I plan on be that guy.

Thank you to Rick for the warm welcome and I look forward to chatting with all about these great boats....
