Hello all i just picked up my first boat a 1977 aquasport 170 with a 1999 merc 4 stroke 50. This boat was a project boat that my cousin was in the middle of rebuilding but picked up a bigger boat and now its my project. The boat needs some TLC iam not sure how much. I do know i need a new fuel tank and lines,a shifter and the front storage covers are very week. My cousin tells me he has most of the stuff I need so I will see. The other concern I have is if the motor is big enough. Iam sure I will have allot of questions in the next few weeks,months,years. by reading the post I have  in the last few days I know I will get a lot of answers. so once i get the boat in my hands i will give the boat a good look and see what i have ahead of me.

Another 170 yesss  :cheers:  50hp  is a bit low, but hey, take it for a ride and who knows :) I have a 70hp on mine and I'm very happy with it, if you're able to get on plane (I think you will) then your set :) And show us some pics please, we'll help you out
