Hi, my name is Rich. I recently joined this site and posted a thread unnder the discussion forum titled "new to this site". I am looking at a 1987 17' Osprey with a 70 HP Evinrude VRO. I like what I have read and heard about the boat model and Aquasport in general. Although new to the brand, I have been on or around boats all my life. My most recent boat was a 1979 20' Shamrock walk-thru cuddy. I live on the Jersey Shore, and spend a good amount of time in Maine, mid coast.

Nice intro Bob
Welcome aboard

I had an 86 Osprey for ten years. First (and only) new boat I ever owned. Rode like a sheet of plywood in a 3 foot chop but that aside, it was (still is) a very good all rounder when fished like you want. Gets in skinny water and depending on power, will flat deliver the mail.

Good luck.

Hi everyone. New member here and I just wanted to introduce myself and say hi.

We don't yet have an Aquasport but are currently looking for a 70's model 170 for a father / son project with my 14 year old son Noah here in Raleigh. Once we get done, we'll primarily be doing our fishing down in the Pamlico Sound, so if your in that area, be sure to say hello.

I've been lurking around the rebuild forum and I must say that many of those projects are inspiring. In fact, Noah and I were planning on building a Bateau.com boat but I've fallen in love with the classic lines of the 170 and this forum is what made us decide to rescue a 170 instead.

Once we find a boat, I'll be sure to share our project as well as ask a zillion questions I'm sure. I'm really looking forward to becoming a part of the classic AS community!

Thanks!!!

P.S. Sorry for the extraneous post. I just now realized y'all had an introduce yourself post already, but I cant figure out how to delete this one.

Welcome Jason (and your son Josh)!  We're pretty clean around here, so feel free to let him read along and comment if he wants...

You have plenty of company up in your neck of the woods, just wait for some to get home...

[gran398]

Welcome guys! Another Tarheel, wonderful news! I'm in Wilmington, JD is in Greenville, John near CLT, others too...we have a big reunion on the coast each fall, around Oct 15, and you're invited

Regarding the 170 in Charleston...am sure some of the guys there will be glad to go and check her out for you. Also...there is a 19-6 here in town that I have seen...think 1K would take it, boat and trailer. It would make a great restore, little more room and slightly more freeboard.

Welcome aboard

I wouldn't mind checking it out at all.  I like looking at boats     There also might be a 19-6 here with skin disease that you could get for a steal  :pl:

Jessie,

Nah, you're not saying what I think you're saying...

Jess would never let a thought like that cross his mind.

Look at the boat in his sig pic on KW forum...hmmmm...

Thanks for the warm welcome so far! I love the idea of a 19-6, but need to tow it with our MDX so I'm concerned about weight. I've got 4500# capacity, but I know these older boats tend to be heavy. Any idea what the 19-6's weigh rigged out?

Thanks again!!!!

We're like this all the time, so get used to it!!!  

No THT here, although many of us are members.  As far as the tow vehicle, yeah, I'd stick with a 170...JMO...

Thanks Bob. The other plus to the 170 is that it will fit in my garage :)
