$45k for digital 250's looks optimistic considering the times. Even the high volume Florida dealers quoted me $44k for digital 200 i4's 2 months ago.

Could be. I went for the Amazon one, because some claimed to have the same issue with the 3M. If I end up doing the whole boat, I'll spend for the 3M, but don't plan to any time soon.

The wheel I used left blemishes that needed to be compounded. Yours did not?

Did you have to compound afterwards?

What did you all use to remove your old stripes? From what I can tell all the eraser wheels can do damage. I tried one for a small section and I had some discoloration and had to wet sand and buff. The discoloration was only a couple small spots where the wheel got a little hot.

I'd love to know what penny pinching miser thought it was a good idea to weld on a chain link like that, because it couldn't have been an engineer. At best that link is good for a 2k lbs working load.

To me it's almost frightening how easily a boat will slide forward on wet bunks by hitting the brakes! No shame Angler. Just another trick of the trade. However, I would think attempting the same thing with dry bunks could do some damage.

If the boat is properly set up, I'd say 15 gph is on the high side giving you a conservative range as long as you aren't punching through tight 4+ footers with 20+ mph wind on the nose. Our Islander with twin f150's at that speed only drinks around 11-13 gph. All of this depends on the right...

I'm not sure if you are asking what to expect or how to get the data.? If what to expect, the boat is barely planing at 20. Typically better fuel burns are had around 25-30 with most GW hulls properly set up. From memory I would say around 1.5 mpg at 20 or 12-14 gph.

I had a similar problem with our 27. I tried a number of things and thought I would need to throw money at the problem to fix it, but ultimately didn't need to. Here a couple thoughts: - your boat is definitely higher off the fenders than mine. It doesn't help because - - you need to back your...

Got it. Phone numbers needed dashes and email addresses could not be repeated. Otherwise easy and free.

I sincerely wish you well. The Islanders are versitile, capable boats. I'd encourage you to search "Islander" here and over on THT. There have been a number of great restoration threads. For the time being, my other thought is be aware of serviceability on that model year. The boat can be...

Check carefully for structural rot. Unless the boat has been meticulously maintained by the most anal-retentive owner, the odds are good that you will find issues. The pre 1998 boats tend to have more problems because the wood used in these models is not rot resistant.

I'm not a boat us member. Thought I would go the free route 1st. I emailed USPS. The site isn't loading now. Let's see if someone actually responds.

I registered for an MMSI on the USPS.org site. The site does not say how, or when I will get the number. After registering, the site shows I have no registration or MMSI number. Is this typical or do I have a glitch?

KY, I have a substantial amount of fabric left, but likely not enough to redo all your cushions. Let me know if you would like a piece of fabric to check out in person and I can send some to you.

Update:

The sun cover is a little faded, but a good cleaning and some 303 will make it look a lot better. The photo of the display is about as bad as I could make it look. I'm not sure why, but when off the display looks blotchy. When on, it looks perfect. This was original to the boat. Total engine...

Na. Based on my research it was intended to be operated by your average DIY boater who's under the influence of other boating activities:

I was really hoping these would be available by now:
