Welcome aboard!!
Can you post a pic of the rear of the boat, from behind the boat? Also more of the interior, like the casting deck and front of console.

Welcome to the club,you have a nice classic there, and you can't beat the price, where abouts is Ponte Vedra ?

Just south of Jacksonville, Pointe Vedra, home of Tim Tebow!

pv, is that a Standard-Horizon chartplotter on the dash?  The chart looks familiar...AND GREAT PRICE!!! :cheers:  :cheers:

Thank you! Yeah price was fantastic.. As far as the chartplotter, it's actually a 7" samsung galaxy tab and I was able to download a marine nav chart app for free which is what is in the picture as well as another marine navigation app for $9.99. Works great since the tablet has built in GPS and 3G.

Welcome aboard shipmate  :salut: Very nice rig, and a nice area.  The waterway through there is beautiful for fishing and cruising, spent half my Navy career in Jax, so I recognized the area immediately by the trees and landscape.  I still get over there once in a while, I have a good friend Tim Sisler who owns T and J Trim, does a lot of custom home wood working, and has a 34 Vector Hydrasport, so I try to get over there a few times a year and we do some great Wahoo and Mahi fishing.  Good to have you aboard.  :thumright:

Anyone know where I could source a right side hatch for on the front? Also anyone have any tips for making a wood riser for the throttle? I don't think its able to go WOT since it hits the angle rise of the console.

Just bought a used 1990 Osprey 175 with a 115 Merc which I intend to work on before springtime to be used in the Sound primarily for fishing.  I figured I'd introduce myself since I'm no doubt gonna have a lot of questions..Seen a lot of nice rebuilds on here that influenced me to get the 175 actually.

So there I was… It was the end of June, my wife and I were cruising around a lake in Maine in our ’82 Sport 15 Whaler when out of the blue the Big Boss turns to me and says, “You need to get a BIGGER BOAT”, and the hunt for a 222 began.  That was when I started to lurk around here…

 I have been lusting after 222 since about age 11.   Some of you will remember the straight 6 Merc “Tower of Power” 115?  How cool would a pair of those hanging on a 222 been in ’73?  No matter what I said I could not convince my Dad that it was a the best next step from a ’65 16 Eastport Whaler and the next step ended up being ‘71 Outrage..

I found an 88 222 Osprey with an SX150 Yamaha and we are both waiting impatiently for the water to soften up a bit (ice is still 20 inches thick) so she can be put to good use.

I have been really impressed by the quality and quantity of the information that the members offer.  Even when there are differences of opinion, the learning opportunity is not lost because of all the heinous things that occur on other sites…  My hats off to everyone!!

Regards from Down East!
