I'm Jim from Lakaland, FL.  I just finished my 19-6 this week that I purchased over the phone while living in Japan 3 years ago.  I'd never been in an Aquasport before mine, but I knew there was something special about them.  Mainly the fish-ability of them, but also the booze cruise potential.  The boat rides great; better than I expected.  

I'm anxious to get it out to one of the Aquasport gatherings one of these days.  

I really enjoy tarpon fishing and have fished in the PTTS since getting of the Navy in late 07.  Last year we fished for Canyon Bay Boatworks, finishing 5th overall for the season and 3rd in the Tarpon Cup. I'm the one with the bright orange hat in some of the intros.

I also enjoy long kayak trips.  I've kayaked the Myakka from Myakka City to Boca Grande, Everglades City to Flamingo, and various other rivers here in FL.  My next long trip will be from Flamingo to Islamorada.

Electrical,
Welcome sir!  Sounds like your screen name is right up my alley!  BTW, have you kayaked the Homosassa or Crystal river?

Bob,
I've spent some time around Homosassa for the raft races and other things, and been diving around crystal river.  On my everglades trip I saw a few boats near everglades city on day 1 and saw 1 boat in between there and day 7 down near Flamingo.  I like to take trips on the kayak where I won't encounter too much boat traffic.

That is cool!!!   Welcome, and it is great the AS is represented in the Pine Tree State!  I built the latters, '94-'00, so I'm a little past your girl's era, but none the less, still Aquasports.

I take it the new 250 Mercs on the 25s are Optis...

[Circle Hooked]

[Glock Diver]

Welcome aboard, Bill!  

How did you get into the Tow Boat US business?  How many ports do you operate from?

[RickK]

Welcome aboard Bill :!:  :!:

You must have installed the revolutionary "Ice Breaker" factory option on at least one of those hulls    Coast Guard borrowed the design http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a8h-pArWZyY&feature=player_detailpage

[towboat]

yeah..not much boating going on right here!! i operate 4 locations in maine from portland to bar harbor.. lots of coast line.. have had many tow boats ..makos..big whalers ect but the 25 ccp is the best over all boat for the sea keeping ability and the amount of power it needs to move.. my goal is to have my whole fleet 25 ccp's...but there hard to find. on another note the power i choose was the 250 opti for the only reason of weight.. the verado ..although very quiet and incredible power..they are still really new and have had some reliablity issues not to mention techical problems.. i need to change engines every 3-4 years anyway so the coat difference also helped my choice. ill post pics of the fleet real soon

cheers!

Hello all, my name is dan (dxs217). New boat owner. Bought a used '99 215 DC w/Evinrude 200 ficht. Runs good with low hours. Pumps, gauges, and accessories are another story.... not so great.

Hull is clean and in great shape, so is trailer.

Really wish my gas gauge worked. It did when I tested the boat before buying it. Story of my life...

I'm a fighter pilot stationed at Tyndall AFB. Originally from Pittsburgh PA where I grew up on small skiing boats.

I'll have a lot of questions. Many of them stupid. Thanks in advance.

Kudos to your dad-in-law. She's a beauty, all original....a classic.

Welcome aboard....get back home in time for the first Gulf Coast reunion!

Dan, welcome too. COOL job...and THANKS for serving your country. If you try and financially justify owning a boat....you'll never own one  

Any question... no problem....someone here will know. Welcome guys!
