Thanks Dave, and everyone. I love this site, I trailer out of woonsocket R.I. To Oakland Beach Witch is upper third of the bay. I find it hard to post on this site because most of my questions get answered from previous posts!

So post anyway, we don't care!  And thanks for putting up with us!!

Hi Mike.Good to hear from a Bay guy. Oakland Beach is a great area,make sure you stop in at Cherrystones and enjoy the calamari and tip a couple on one of your trips.It's been a couple of years and I need to get back there myself.The owner Jimmy Whitehead is a great host, I've known him for many years from Block Island.

Hi All, I am a proud oringinal owner of a 1994 19'6 200 Osprey, with a 135hp Merc.  I am very happy to have found this site. I have learned alot so far, and hope to help other owners with my experiences. Living in south Florida, I wanted a boat that I could take offshore on a good sea day to fish for sails, kings, etc. The problem is with our small inlets, they can turn to 4'-6' seas because of changing tides & winds. With my 135 Merc and Aquasport's  heavy hull , I have been able to power thru some rough stuff. I can't imagine having a smaller motor on the back as I have seen on other 200's. I also trailer down to the Key's, chasing tarpon & bonefish in 24" water. It's a great boat for my needs, I hope to keep it until "my" engine gives up. I will need to re-power with a 4-stroke in the near future so that will another post, at another time. One question for now. I have kept my boat covered since day one. It gets a bath & shampoo after all uses. The top areas of the hull are starting to "Yellow" from old wax build up. I have always used "Teflon" based wax. Does anyone have experience with removing old wax?? Otherwise, I wish all, calm seas & safe boating.  Keyscrazy

Nice looking rig

Nice ride.
If it is just old wax then the least effort would be to find a local auto body shop supply house.  They sell wax & silicone remover by the gallon for preparation before painting.  It is just a strong smelly solvent but it works well.

If the boat has never been painted I would try acetone to take off the old wax...
