Thanks for all the welcoming responses. And yes Pete, that is my boat 'exactly', I recognize every detail in the brochure. How do you that?

Welcome aboard Dragel

Rare model not often seen.
Well at least rarer than a Sandpiper.

I took some pictures of my Xscape today, but can't seem to upload them with my 'reply'. Any suggestions?

Do you know how to use photobucket?

Hello everyone!!
My name is Ruben, love the sea, boating and fishing are the things I enjoy the most.
Before, always trying to catch a ride then I had the opportunity and decided to go on my own, about a year ago I bought my first boat, a 2K Explorer 225.
With almost twelve years on it I had to put some TLC, but it has paid off.
I want to thank everyone for the help and support in this forum..

Happy New Year 2012!!

Hello everyone My name is Troy this summer I was lucky enough to find a 1970 or 71 Aquasport 19-1 Osprey up here in the North (I'm from PA) for a great price but needs a floor so it was 6 degrees today so tear down begins.

Can't even imagine....   the only thing I'd be tearing up would be the wood pile to make a bigger fire... Brrrrrrr  Seriously, good luck with the deck overhaul, you'll have a sweet ride come the spring.

Ruben,

    Welcome, and Happy New Year.  I like your boat, it is sweet.  I have always admired the dark hulled boats for some reason, I don't know if there are any disadvantages that come with the dark hull, but they look handsome.

    Welcome, you will enjoy visiting this site.  OK, enjoy that fancy boat of yours !!

    Cheers, T.

hello, my name is emilio and i wanted to thank you for allowing me to join your group. I just got back in to boating after selling my last boat a year ago. i came across a 1989 200 osprey with a 175 mariner and trailer for 3k. The boat had been sitting covered for three years and i hope to get her back on the water as soon as i can. I will enclose some pics as soon as i learn how to do that lol.
Thanks again.

Welcome!  Use photobucket to post photos.

Welcome Emilio!  That 175 will push your 200 nicely!  Since she's been sitting, get your service done on the motor, water pump replacement, check your compression, run her on some fresh gas from a portable tank, new primer bulb, the usual stuff.  If there is any fuel in the tank, and you can't verify it was treated with Sta-Bil or Startron, I would have the tank drained.  Pull a sample, if it has an orangy look, that's ethanol, and it needs to go.

If you are familiar with Photobucket, it's very easy to post pics here.  Just downsize them to  640 X 480...
