Trying to locate a "Owners Manual" or information if possible for a "1979 Aquasport Family Fisherman 19-6" that I just bought to restore. Such as max HP for outboard, weight when empty and what was the size of the original "on board" fuel tank that is missing? Much thanks.

I don't know but those are great hulls. Lots of people keep them and repower them as needed. I bet you could find an owner's forum somewhere.

They strike me as fairly heavy for their size. As for a tank, just get the largest one that fits the hole. A 115 would be a good size motor for it.

you might be able to track it down though the hull serial number; should be on a plate on the stern.

I used to have one model 176. Great indestructible hull I believe it was rated for 125 HP max and the gas tank was 20 Gal.
