Welcome Aboard TOMBO!

NEGATE THE ALL CAPS. We aren't cool with CAPS.

So forget the caps from here out...and welcome.

Your cracked windshield...get a new windshield.

Check the Vendor forum, MCL. Give them a call with your specs.  They have a chitload of windshields that will fit. Cheap.

Hey Tombo, this is where I bought my windshield.  Very cut and dry.  It took a little while to arrive due to their workload but I definitely received what I bought.  Enjoy.

Hi there everyone!

I'm Carl, from Michigan and I just bought a '66 22-2 with the dive door (no windows, or they have been removed)! I'm pretty pumped        about it and was looking for one for a "reasonable" price for a few years now. She needs a lot of loving to get her back to her glory, but that will happen starting this winter. I'll post pics later when I get the chance, I just wanted to say hello and get myself introduced.

Thanks everyone,

Cally

Hi Guy's

I have been lurking on this site for over 2 years since i bought my 1986 Aquasport 250XF! Its been amazingly handy to have so much information about these truly great boats. I bought my Aquasport off ebay in the UK 2 years ago, it was everything I always wanted in a boat and got it for a project price. Having renovated 3 boats prior to this thought it wouldn't be an issue, however I have only 1 month ago finally fixed my 2 outboard engines and have actually been able see what all the fuss is about by taking her to sea... at Speed!
Thanks to Rickk & Scott who helped me get on this site, due to myself from the uk being wrongly seen as a spammer and not passing security.

Glad to be on here finally and look forward hearing from other 250XF owners & any Aquasport owners!

Regards

Jonathon

Hi Guys,

Again great to be on here with such a warm welcome.

As for a few pics, this is where i moor my boat and it is truly a tranquil spot and very sheltered from all weather yet only a mile to open sea.

Hi my name is Erik.  I live in Port Monmouth NJ.  I am the third owner of the Falcon, a 1986 290TM.  When I purchased her back in 1999 I knew that a 290TM was what I wanted.  The previous owner had her for about 3 or 4 years and the boat was kept down at Bogans Boat Basin.  The original owner was from Staten Island.  I kept her in Long Branch at Mariner's Emporium.  At the time there was 5, 290 Aquasports berthed there.  
       I did most of my fishing drifting for Stripers and Fluke in Sandy Hook Bay, and anchoring up for Blackfish and Sea Bass on various wrecks out in the Atlantic Ocean.  
       Two years ago I moved her down to Little Egg Harbor, I could not pass up the berth fee (FREE).  I am in the process of keeping her clean and everything working.  I do have a few small projects that I would like to complete.  The boat has less than 500 hours on the running gear, so I am ok there for now.  I dug up some old pics that I will scan and upload soon as I can.  My plan is to include you guys in on as many things as possible.

[Capt. Bob]

Welcome aboard Eric.
Thanks for the ID.

Good luck and keep posting the Aquaporn.

Hi everybody, just recently bought a 20' Aquasport.  I've already posted a message asking for help identifying it since the HIN doesn't match up with other information that I've gathered.  

At any rate, it's a center console with a Evinrude 150 2 stroke.  It's actually the first boat that I've bought and I'm really looking forward to taking it out.

It's in fair condition so I'm planning on getting some use out of it for a while until I can figure out what I'd like to do for a possible rebuild.  

I'm definitely envious of the end results in the rebuilds thread.  They look fantastic.

Here's a picture of her:



I've had a boat mechanic take a look at the engine (water pump and a few seals had to be replaced) and I'm planning on getting her out in salt water this weekend.  Most of the electrics were disconnected so it took me a few hours to remove old unnecessary wiring and reconnect everything.  About the only thing that doesn't work currently is the stern light which is probably due to a loose connection on the socket.  I don't plan on taking her out close to night time any time soon but it's on my to-fix list.
