Radar arch (Furuno non functional)
Bimini top
Humminbird Helix 5 DI GPS

A FAR cry from the Bayliner 19' Cuddy I had years ago, I'm certain I'll be leaning on you for help/advice.

Hello everyone, my name is Jesseray, I live in the Florida keys and just got myself a osprey 17.5 1995. I was lucky that my friend located one on the bank of the Caloosahatchee river. He was able to contact the owner and get the title from him. So I’m now in the process of getting her cleaned up. Thank everyone for having me a part of a awesome group of helpful fellow owners. 🙂

P.S.  I’ve already been snooping around the post and gather all the knowledge I can. I’ll make sure to ask more questions. I appreciate all the information, that I have already found here.

We have a ton of members with the same model - the size of the hull hasn't changed whether it's a 170 or a 175 (marketing math), maybe the liner changed so we can cover your questions on that.

Hello all. Newbie here. I just purchased an '84 Ospry 19 today. It is an ASP serial so at first I thought that it was an Alexandria Seaport production until I learned that it was not. A couple hours of internet searching brought me here and I am glad I was allowed to join the group. I am now learning about AS boats and will be trolling the board for a while searching for information.  To be honest, I don't know if it is a 19-1 or a 19-6 yet, but when I saw the boat covered in snow and did a quick measurement, I knew I had to have it and the price was right!

I plan to clean it up, do whatever repairs it needs and get an outboard for it so I can use it for a dive boat this summer. I wanted something smaller than my 24' SeaRay for most of my dive trips and this looks like it will be a great boat for that.  I will start a photo log so you can follow the progress and point out all the mistakes I am making as I get it ready for Lake Michigan.

Welcome aboard Jim  The last year of the 191 was '71. The 196 was released in '72.  Both hulls are totally different .

Hello all! My name is Josh and I’m a marine surveyor in Palmetto, FL. I’ve fished around a bunch of classic Aquasports here on my little slice of the Gulf but had never been on one until I surveyed a 1976 222 Osprey the other day. In a search for info I stumbled upon this forum and thought I’d join to learn as much as I can and hopefully I’ll be able to share some knowledge in return.

Welcome aboard Josh 
The 12 degree 222 is a favorite among members and guides alike.

Hello! My name is Ethan and I recently acquired a 1995 Aquasport Osprey 175 with a 88 Evinrude. She lived most of her life so far down in Long Island Sound off of my home state of CT- but we will be bringing her up to fresh water paradise (Lake George, NY) for the foreseeable future. Very excited to search this forum and learn more about Aquasport boats. Many questions incoming!
