1988 aquasport 290 xf

[RickK]

Definitely a big Aquasport - it looks like the 290s that are becoming members lately, in droves (economy must be getting better    ).
As CB said, the bigger boats might not need a HIN but it is usually on the outside of the transom, possibly starboard side (where my 230s is).
Welcome aboard (and try to keep the cap locks off  - people are sooo touchy on that   )

If I told you what I paid for my boat, you'd call me a liar. I tripped and fell onto a hell of a deal. Economy still sucks... :)

It's not unlike the 19-6s and 170s we saw a few years ago. Almost like a cult. :o

290s are cool! Couple of Yanmar 6s in her...oh yeah!

That would be a good match for my Slickcraft!

I discussed Yanmar 4's as well as 6's and the small cummins.

Mechanic's advice: spend that money on gas.  

Takes a lot of fill-ups and repairs to recoup a $30k difference in price.

That said, if you want to sponsor my diesel repower, I'll haul the boat tomorrow Seabob.  Heck, I'll call the marina emergency number and get it pulled tonight  

[seabob4]

Hokie,
Understood.  Typical upcharge, single motor, new, gas to diesel, about $25K...times 2.

Can't foot that bill!!!

hey guys,, finally got my boat in my slip and it ran great getting her there, just going thru and learning stuff. i had posted on the resources forum not knowing if i was in the right forum. i was wondering if any of you guys new of how to obtain a owners manual showing all the components and tank loations etc.

any help would be greatly appreciate

There used to be some manuals available on the Wellcraft web site.I emailed them to see if they still have them and if they will share,will let you know thier response.However most manuals don't have much usefull info.Your best resource are your fellow 290 owners right here!
