Help me identify my AS

as promised

Love the motor!  One of those new jet drives with the powerhead built into the midsection!  J/K, great looking boat!!  And the pop up nav light, VERY nice!

Looks like it could be the 191.  
Cap, casting deck, pad all look the same (pad seems a little wider to me) to me compared to GarrettS's rebuild.

Wonder what happened to Garrett - he hasn't posted an update for quite a while

so in conclusion, survey says it's am authentic 19'1?

[fitz73222]

Well yes, I'd say its a 19-1, she has all of her fingers and toes as they say. That pad seems a little different width than what I've seen but AS may have made a change or its just the camera angle. She has had extensive work. The transom has been replaced and maybe 25" high now, the bow deck may have been changed or modified. What are you planning on doing with her? How are the decks? Bolt on a engine and go?

[ali y0]

That's music to my ears knowing it's an original and not a replica, ever since it was mentioned it may have been a replica I have had a hard time sleeping. The transom has been raised 25'' and the deck is new and solid. Paint is also new, top and bottom, all cushions are new (including cushions on the bow deck). T-top is really big, it almost extends to the rear of the boat if you can tell by the pictures. My plans? In search of power, specifically a 150, black canvas on top, and bottom paint on the transom (not sure why there isn't any there)

nice lookin boat!  

but something i noticed....

look at that roller and the edge of the pad...



not to sound like a THT fear monger, but there appears to be a hook in the hull... aquasports shouldnt sit on roller trailers as the rollers dont support the load all too great, and cause a good bit of internal damage from the hull not being supported down the length of the stringers...

my self and most others will recommend putting solid bunks under the stringers

[ali y0]

I noticed that also yesterday, fortunately it won't be on a trailer for long. After it gets power it will be docked.

[seabob4]

Ditto what Aaron says, but I guess that's a moot point seeing as she'll be slipped.  Might want to put a straight edge on the hull and see if there is indeed a hook.  If so, look on the bright side...built in trim tabs!

[ali y0]

is there a 19'1 photo thread? I saw there was a 196 registry but couldn't find the little brother.

[RickK]

You have a rare model and we have maybe 3 or 4 members with them I think - maybe less.

[ali y0]

ouch, oh well

the few, the proud
