Well come aboard Kcampbell . Now I’ve been all over Indian river and haven’t seen that boat. You new to the long neck area as well? or is just the boat?

[Kcampbell]

Have had the boat since last year. I 've been in longneck for 4 years now. Fish virgina alot and lewes alot IR everyonce and awhile fished it a couple times this year for flounder and havent done anything. And every time in VA limit on flatties. But i run out of white house beach.

Welcome aboard also!  Try a local sign shop. They can usually take a pic and then cut it out in vinyl. The darker outline might be a problem but it would be worth a try!

[Kcampbell]

thanks ill give it a shot

[saltfly]

Ok got yea. I thought it was some what new in the area. I think I know where just about 98% of all the Aquasports in a 50 mile radius are . Hope to see you out there. :)

Thankyou for all the help. And i should be out this weekend thinking of trolling a little up the beach see if any rock still around. i figured that would be better than playing bumper boats in the bay.

Hi - owner of a 1975 AS Osprey, 22' - up on the NH seacoast. Got a few photos of it (from when I bought it about 8 years ago) in my album here, if I uploaded properly. It has a new (leftover) 08' 150 2-stroke Yamaha on it now:

I found this site searching for some fuel tank help (I think I found it, although I'm not sure I like the answer!) I think I might have a faulty vent tube, gotta see what kind of access I have through the small deck plate underneath the console.

I'm not sure if the forward deck configuration (see the pics) is at all close to the original configuration, I know it was refurbed a couple of owners ago.

Other than the fact that I love the boat, I know very little about it's original family lines. If anyone has any input I'd love to hear it.
I actually spent time as a young kid on the same (model) boat on Martha's Vineyard back in the late 70's early 80's, but I was too young to appreciate it. Kinda fun to be back on one, though.

looking forward to browsing the site,
Paul

Howdy,

My name's Ryan and I'm Suffolk, VA.   I just bought a 290 TM, which I saw at least one post on here from the previous owner a few years back.  Its in decent shape overall and has one new motor and one blown motor.

I currently also have a Correct Craft Fish Nautique, single inboard center console, which the wife says will be leaving, or the new boat will be leaving.

290 is going to be a slow, thirsty boat isn't she?

[Capt. Bob]

Welcome aboard Paul and Ryan.

Lot's of stuff to digest and plenty to glean.

Never drove a 290 but we have a member who has been working on his and posts quite often. The "Duke" will be a great source for you as you progress and is quite a skilled character. He's the "go to" guy for that marine head in your vessel.

Good luck and post that Aqua porn.

Hi there everyone!
I'm Rod. This seems to be a great friendly site. I love all the pics and ideas.
Just purchased my 1985 29' Tournament from a great guy in NJ. Her name, "It's Showtime"
Had a tri-axle trailer made up in FL and dragged her to my home Westlock, Alberta Canada.
Border crossing was a snap with the boat. Purchasing a trailer in the US and importing into Canada is not the answer.
Never again.
A bit of cleanup and shes now sitting on the West side of Vancouver Island.
Pulling a boat that size with a one ton Ford through the mountains would have made a great commercial. 14,400 lbs at the scale. Full of fuel and gear was how I purchased her.
My 4 kids are driving me nuts with the "When we going fishin".
Too bad work has to get in the way of fun.
Hope to chat soon with a bunch of you here.
I'll upload a few pics shortly.
Bye for now!

Welcome Rod
You will like it here
Where at on the Island you keep her
Did you tow her or dump her in on the mainland?
Towed my AS over that island many times
It's a adventure pulling a 22, can't imagine pulling a 29,trouble is it's worse driving back out.
Welcome
Bill

Have not posted in a few years but here is a deal on a diver in Maine. Came across this on CL today. She is the same one for sale here a few years ago that needed a complete rebuild. All the hard work is done..........

[slvrlng]

Welcome back! Don't be such a stranger.
If I didn't already have two I would probably be headed for Maine! Those are really cool with the side door.
