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.

The only stupid question is the one you don't ask...

F-15E Strike Eagle, no aircraft stationed here. Squadrons fly in and we take them out for live missile evaluations over the gulf. Good times...

Hi, my name is Mike and lived in metro-detroit all my life. Enjoy wonderful access to the Great Lakes mostly Erie, Huron and that unknown great lake: lake st. Clair. Been fishing and hunting for 36 years now and don't want to stop. Fell in love with Aquasport when I ran into a 222 CCP cruising the channels around Harsen Island about 6 years ago. Since then I have been looking for one and finally picked one up a "86" 222 2 weeks ago in pretty good shape. As soon as the weather breaks I will start bring her back to her former glory and post progress here.

Hi, I'm Wendell. Started looking for a project boat about a month ago, an recently got contacted about a 24' Aquasport WAC through craigslist and then started searching about the boat and found this site, looked at the photo gallery, and started to imagine how much fun i could have with this kind of boat. I was honestly looking for a much smaller boat(bass or fish/ski type of boat) for Lake eufaula and such, but i really started to like the idea of being able to take it to the gulf and learn more about the salt water side. I'm waiting on pictures at the moment, but expecting a fairly old model in pretty rough shape but we'll see.

P.s. I am having a hard time finding anything just searching Aquasport WAC(Walkabout cabin?), If anyone wants to post up a bit of info on this boat, that would be very appreciated

(edit) I should probably just start a thread concerning info.

Good evening ya'll, I'm CaptGuy out of St. Augustine, FL. I own a 246CCC (or at least it started out life as a CCC). She is now customized to my liking and as soon as I can figure out how to post pics I'll include some. If you are interested the pics can be seen on my web site: MisStressCharters.com   She is the MisStress now and a charter boat. I've had her since '92 and she is an '80 hull. I understand this model was/is quite rare. She had been stolen and stripped so I really didn't molest her too bad.
