That is a little crazy, I've done similar in my 14 panga but it would be hard to pop a hole in that.

Welcome aboard.  There is a huge family of 170 owners here.

Any pics of your new family member?

Welcome!  We kinda figured, given the screen name... :wink:  :wink:

You might try Moeller as I imagine you have a roto-molded tank.  If aluminum, there are many to choose from...

My name is Kevin and I live in Clearwater, FL.  I found this site when I was looking for a new boat and started reading about project boats.  I was looking for a 24ft Carolina Skiff DLX model, but after looking at these Aquasports 22-2, I gotta have one.  I have never done anything with a boat as far as remodeling, so this is going to be a big step for me.  Right now I am looking for a hull to buy cheap and start from square one.  I do a lot of inshore fishing around the Cockroach Bay area and some grouper fishing in the bay.  With all that being said, all advice is welcomed and I'm already going to ask a question.  Can I get a hull that has a cuddy cabin on it and then rip everything out and start new? Or does it have to be the open hull already?

Wise decision Kevin! Welcome aboard! Yes you could rip the cabin off but you should be able to find a hull before you go that far. Try to find one from up north, they only get used half of the year.

Hello Everyone ... Im new to the Forum .. I was able to acquire this 72 170 back in February and have been working on it ever since...I had my first sea trial last Sunday and everything went pretty well ...  I am a first time Aquasport owner... however I am far from a stranger to the brand... My father currently has a 70  170 that he bought from my grandfather who then bought another Aquasport ... So needless to say I grew up on these boats... Stumbled upon this site while poking around on the net one day and have been doing alot of great reading so figured I would make if official and join up .. Thanks for having me - Frank
