Welcome aboard John.

The 225 EX is a nice hull (I'm somewhat bias).

Hello Everyone!

Just purchased a 1973 Aquasport 22-2 !

Really excited to get out on the water.

Cheers

Jeff

  Jeff - the 222 is a great fishing machine.

Hi Folks,
I've been lurking on this site and classic seacraft/mako etc for some time and just wanted to add my XF200 to this group.  It's a 1984 XF200 that i bought off of eBay for $700 in August of 2008.  It was in really poor shape and I have been slowly restoring it since then.  My main purpose was the same as it was built for, fishing and this year i finally got it out in the gulf of Mexico.  I'll start posing a blog of the work with pics later this winter.  Stone Bear

Hello all, I thought I had finally 'swallowed the anchor' two years ago when I sold my '94 Tiara 3100 Open,but nooooo...must have boat.  I have always like the lines of Aquasports and Makos and two days ago was fortunate to locate a 1989 175 with a 1989 Mariner 75.  She is now mine but I haven't taken possession of her yet,pix when able.

I have one puzzling question, the MIN is QUAD and not ASP.  I read on an older post that QUA is Genmar but did Genmar build Aquasports in 1989?  The Coastie list of MINs indicates that QUA is a Canadian canoe company.  I think I also read on the site that all Aquasport   HINS were embossed in the hull, this boat's in riveted on.

This site has the most useful info I have ever seen on similar boat specific forums.  It is spot on. 

By the way the boat was listed on the Pensacola Craigslist and is still up so if any of you fellows are located in that area maybe you know the boat.  Thanks

First off FBo2..Welcome aboard.

Second, no one here loves a mystery more than I so......

So, when you finally get her home, posts up pics.
Pics of the hull, both inside and out. After all, it may indeed be a canoe powered by an outboard.

Several things occurred in 1989 so stuff like this really interests me. We'll sort it out or make up a hell of a story to support same.

Good luck.

Hello from New Jersey, I do not currently own an Aquasport but have been looking at several. I currently have a 2007 Rinker 246 Captiva Cuddy. This is a great boat for the family however it sucks for fishing. I am looking for an 18' to 20' center console for fishing local lakes and Raritain bay. Thanks in advance for all the help I am sure all of you will give.

Ok , jumping in . I have had a 1970 222 as a yard ornament for 3+ years time to get started. She needs a floor for sure and I can see under the casting deck the right stringer is cracked , needless to say full rebuild . I have 0 fiberglass experience . I have been creeping on this site for a while and see a few others in my same situation. I am working on my plan . I would like a fishing , scalloping / diving setup. I have been tossing the idea around for a 2 ft hull extension that acts as a dive platform/engine bracket . I plan on using a bobs style jack plate . I am not afraid of the extra work . Are there any examples out there of something similar, or am I just nutz for wanting to do this . I am open minded to all suggestions. pictures to come soon as I learn how thanks.

Welcome aboard Luke.

We have had at least one hull extension attempted here and I'll search for the thread in the morning. Don't recall that the member ever completed the work but it is doable.

Good luck.

   Luke. There is nothing tough about working with fiberglass.  If you have basic carpentry skills and a creative mind you can do most anything that you want with the boat.

Here's one to whet your appetite.
