Welcome Capt Guy,
We're just down the road from you in Palm Coast... I'll keep an eye out for you when I'm on the ICW, St. Augustine or Matanzas Inlets.

NEWBE On Deck....
« Reply #514 on: March 16, 2011, 08:37:13 AM »
:salut: Hello All.  As the subject implies Im new to the site and in need of advice and useful recommendations.  I recently pickup a 1978 200 CCP which I will eventually plan to use for fishing and family day trips out on the water.  Overall it is in good shape but there is issues that need to be addressed (some electrical, replace soft deck, etc).  I want to do the work myself but have little to no experience renovationing an Aquasport.  Where or how can I gain the knowledge to do the renovation work myself (outside of this website).  I have all summer and the patience for trial and error.   Thank you.

Tom

Welcome Tom!

You've pretty much hit the nail on the head. For rebuilding solutions, go to the rebuild forum. Electrical, engines and electronics.

You can literally spend hours searching the threads. 98% of what you read will be accurate. There is extensive experience here on pretty much any subject/problem you will face.

On the electrical rigging, pay particular attention to Seabob's posts. He is a professional rigger, well-known for superior work. And nice enough to take the time to share his knowledge.

Again, welcome!

Just wanted to drop a line and say howdy! We just purchased a 1980 200 CCP with a 1998 225 Mercury and have enjoyed the information and photos on this site. What a great resource for AS owners! We are in the process of getting her seaworthy again and hope to have her on the water as soon as this weekend. I'm sure we'll be posting a few questions of our own really soon!

Hello All,
Just wanted to introduce myself. I'm TRIPLE DUECE and am new to happy family of Aquasport owners.
My 1987 Sandpiper 222 was delivered today. She's a pretty shapely  24 yr. old Gal. Have been trying to find some particulars on her. Not much around so any help would be appreciated. Not going to do much to her this season except enjoy her after a good cleaning. I was told the engine, an  evinrude 150 V6 of the same vintage, is also OK. We'll have to wait a bit to see. Still to cold here in Boston, at least for me, for a sea trial.
That's all for now.
TD

Welcome to the site Triple Deuce, or should I say 3D or 3-2?   :scratch:   Anyway, check out the photo gallery and look at the 86-87 all models catalog - it includes the Sandpiper.  Here's a link to get you started:

Good luck and feel free to post any questions - somebody here can probably either answer them or make up something that sounds right...   :cheers:

Im Harold, I own a 77 Aquasport 19-6 with a Johnson 88. What a combo. Both are in great condition. I fish it from the Chesapeake Bay to Oregon Inlet NorthCarolina and into South Carolina. What a fishing machine. Im glad to find this site.
