New Addition To The Vehicle Collection

Post by RRoller123 »

Been mostly absent this forum quite a while now. All because I recently added this 2002 Aquasport Osprey 2150 Tournament Master, with a 200 HP, V6 2-stroke FI Yamaha to the stable. Been spending a lot of my time trying to get it ready for water this year. Still a few weeks of good October weather to look forward to! Clocked out via GPS at 50 mph on a glassy lake I am told.

Not being a boat person, wouldn't those steps up the side create a lot of drag?

That's cool, Pete but I don't want to look too close as I might get the boat bug and want one myself.

It is becoming somewhat of a chore already, as it has a great hull, an excellent engine, and I just ordered a brand new tandem axle Venture trailer, due to be delivered this week, but the wiring is terrible. Sound familiar?

Looking at a complete rewiring this Winter. To get it into the water this month, I just need to get the VHF and the bilge pump working. Them we will launch it in Pleasant Bay Chatham/Orleans and tool around a bit and check it out!

Just noticed this very similar boat (i think) in my neighborhood.

Center console versus my split console, but it does look like an Aquasport! They make a lot of different models, very large manufacturer. I am working on replacing or repairing the fold down bench seat and some wiring issues at this point.

Picked up a brand new Venture trailer yesterday, old trailer is available. Listed for $700 on CL, $600 to anyone here, can deliver within a reasonable distance. If interested, I can give the good and bad. Has MA title and is registered.
