Good afternoon, I own a 1974 22'2" Aquasport that I am planning on restoring once the house projects are complete and my focus can be 100% on the project. Currently I am collecting supplies and information on what is ahead for me. Looking forward to getting started  on this project. ff

Hey All. Captain Bob, I saw your post and added photos to the 210 folder. Let me know what you think!

Good afternoon everyone thanks for having me I own a 1986 (what it says on title) 170 aquasport with an '89 110 johnson. Previous owner refoamed and fixed some sections of the stringers and replaced the floor. And he closed the transom and added a platform to it. Need to fix some of his mistakes and I'm glad there is a community like this with lots of shared knowledge and appreciation for these aquasports. As soon as we went for a test drive I knew this was a great hull it rode better than any other boat I'd been in.

Welcome aboard Ken1986. 

That model was the first (and only) brand new boat I ever owned.

Well, I can't recall seeing that model (other than the brochure) in person or all the years I've been on the Forum.

Like I said, rare.

Start a new thread in the Rebuild Forum for the EXs as you work on your find. Post pics right on that thread.

Good luck.

d_f as CB said, definitely a rare model - they transitioned from EX to a Walkaround and then to the Explorer line in that time frame.
Usually you add your pics to YOUR gallery so you never have to hunt them down, so I'll move your pics into yours in the near future.

New to the forum.  Just purchased a 1996 215 Dual Console with a blown 200 Johnson.  Working to get a new trailer under her so I can bring her home to Indiana for restoration.  Excited to be part of this forum - I am a lifetime boater, but this is my first Aquasport.

I have a 1970 19-6 that I purchased 5 years ago.  We converted it to a flatback and added a jack plate for a new 115 Yamaha.  The exterior and gunnels has been painted with Awlgrip.  Pretty much everything has been replaced except the plastic.  Over the last 3 years we have put on 350 hours on Florida salt water, river boating in MN and WI and now on the TN river.
The boat is white and look at me yellow with a new black Bimini from a Boston Whaler.  I have installed a full electronics package with a network.  My Garmin works with my AIS radio and takes data from the engine for display. 
The interior paint along with some work on the center console and that should be about it although I thinking of selling it as is because a new restoration is sitting in storage driving my crazy. 
Over the last 50 years I have owned about 30 boats from racing sail boats to cruisers to trawlers and a whole pot load of runabouts.  Its an addiction.

Hello Fellas,

I just stumbled upon this site while looking into hatch repairs for my boat.  I live in Smithtown, NY.  This is on Long Island, NY, for you gents that are not from around here.

I own an 1999 245 AquaSport Explorer.  I ordered her from the factory back in '99, and have had the best memories of my life on this boat. 

My then future wife and I would do overnighters on Block island and Fire island almost every weekend.  This 25 foot beauty has brought me out to the tip of the Hudson Canyon (70 Miles Offshore) for days of Tuna fishing, and safely home every time.  I caught dozens of sharks, from Blue sharks to the elusive Mako.

Now that I have two children, we mostly inshore fish and day trip to the beach. 

Never a dull moment with our Sla'n Abhai'le! 

I'm looking very forward to being a member of this site.
