You have a good-looking, fine riding hull. They don't grow on trees.

Hang onto it.

This economy slowly but surely is turning around...selling it now for a song.... if you like it, you'll regret it.

Just joined! looks like a great site. Just purchased a 1999 Aguasport 215 with Dule Console with a 200 HP Mercury Optimax. The boat is in Florida( surprise surprise), I am having it delivered to Tucson mid July. It looks like a great boat, sure hope so.
I am thinking about a boat cover, any assistance on where I should look?

Hello everyone, I'm Geoff and I'm located in Stratford, CT on LI Sound.

Just picked up a 72 19-6 about 10 days ago. Mostly original and in solid condition from my limited AQ experience! No bottom paint and I'd like to keep her as close to classic as possible.

She sure rides nice besides a little pounding in the chop in LI Sound. Everyone says these boats are wet but we've been out twice and not even a drop has come up over the bow! Maybe I'm just lucky... Is it possible the earlier 19-6's are more immune to spray then the 196's and 200's? Not sure, but I sure am happy so far with the ride. Feel free to "educate" me on this year and model. I could use all the help I can get.


Check out the new lady...

Nice boat!  Welcome aboard Geoff.  

[GoneFission]

Welcome Jonah!  Nice lookin' rig - looks pretty much original and in good shape.  Does it have an HIN?  If not, you might be able to guess the year from the serial number on a plate in the boat.  

She's a classic - sweet boat!  

[jonahsea]

It was previously registered as a 72 and it's says serial number E327... does this serial give any more detail as to month and year, etc?

Rgds,

Geoff

nice looking boat. from the pics i cant tell which area you are around, im assuming near gomez, or osprey?

[Georgie]

That lucky guy would be me!    Long time lurker, and son of Woodinator (who for some reason stopped visiting the site).  I've been eying the 246 CCC since the brown hull version which popped up a couple times a few months back.  It just looks like such a perfect boat for my area of South Florida.  When I saw this listing in the classified forum on Classic Aquasport I my jaw dropped... the overall condition of the gelcoat and teak, the original tower, the twin engines, etc. all just screamed my name.  I've already rebuilt several of these exact engines, and have enough matching parts to built an entire 3rd one from scratch so the age of the two engines doesn't worry me at all.  

I'm currently arranging transport of the boat from NY to CT (any recommendations or advice would be appreciated) for some storage and then eventual transport down to Florida.  Will be starting a thread to document the condition of the boat upon delivery and detail the overall transport process.

Probably getting a bit ahead of myself, but I just can't get the floating visions of mahi, sailfish, and summer bahamas trips out of my head.

Alrighty then! Welcome Ryan!

Congratulations! You are now a card carrying member of our club, the highly esteemed and respected Aquasport Sportsman's Society (A.S.S.)

 

When you are ready to bring it home: Send me a PM, I have a hauler (here in Wilmington, halfway there) who is bonded and reliable, and works CHEAP. He's been everywhere  hauling Aquasports.

Welcome Aboard

Welcome aboard ryan, sweet deal...    and looks like Scott already has you hooked up for transport... it's like clock work around here  Nice job Scott..

[Capt. Bob]

Welcome aboard Ryan.

You made CJ's day by buying this beauty

By all means, start a new thread in the Rebuild forum and don't forget those pics!

[GoneFission]

Ryan - glad to hear you got that CCC!  Looks like a sweet boat.       I've got a hauler as well you might want to contact - heckuva nice guy and won't stick you for an arm and leg:

Mike Holcomb - Phone 704-663-5116   Cell 704-507-0823  

You might be able to catch him on a return trip from Flawda to Up Nawth - he would rather haul a boat than air coming south!  

U-Ship is a pretty neat website that allows you to post your needs and have haulers bid on your trip:
