My local glass guy quoted $10k two years ago. I would expect $12k would be about right on East coast.

I have used Coosa Bluewater 26 board on a few of my projects. Full sheets are expensive but you don't really need a lot of it for a transom and stringer project. If the shop you are using works with Coosa board they should have partial sheets. Overall the cost of Coosa vs a quality marine...

This one? https://www.greatgrady.com/threads/replacing-the-transom-on-a-26%E2%80%997%E2%80%9D-grady-express-2001.37391/#post-263734

I would really like to see the cost of these panels. And cost for replacement hatches. Everyone want's them. There is definitely a need but I'm not sure if anyone will pay up for them. I have an anchor hatch and a lid in the back to re-do. I would sub out.

Sorry but I think this is power antenna idea is silly. Is antenna performance really that important to you? Just put a short stainless wip antenna up instead. After breaking a few this is what I put up. A wip antenna has far better performance than a broken fiberglass one...

I will definitely help performance. If you are trailering though you need to watch the 13' 6" over the road height.

Unlikely. Even then condition is usually a problem. Consider having a glass guy repair and refinish or build a new one.

Could be a weak circuit breaker (swap or replace breaker). Pump could be binding up after running a while or drawing more current with age (replace pump). Possibly a old high resistance switch (replace). Jumper out to test. My advise on pump replacement is a.) don't bother to repair it unless...

Mine will lift and work just fine when it’s wet. My tank was full one winter and wouldn’t pumpout overboard. At the house I pulled the hose and attached a 1” hose direct to the pump, ran some water into it and pumped out into a 5-gallon bucket. All it needed was a little help. Hopefully it works...

Are those bedded in 3M5200? Looks like good insurance. Spread the load out. Probably do mine what I rebuild my transom.

The challenge will be creating enough vacuum to "lift" the waste. That "Y" valve has to seal real well. The impeller will have to be kept wet and all the clamps real tight. My only suggestion would be one or two pieces of the blue silicone hose to make taking things apart easier in awkward...

Had that happen with my son's kitchen sink. Granite top, stainless sink and construction adhesive to secure scrap blocks of granite. Heavy garbage disposal. I cleaned it up and 3M5200'ed it back up. Blocked from underneath with wood to wedge it in until 5200 dried. Ask a cabinet guy who works...

Not sure where you are (update profile). Your tanks would me similar to mine. SP Tanks in Clermont, NJ built mine. Certified tank builder who builds for a number of the high end boat builders. Use a tank builder not just a guy who welds aluminum. Roughly $1,500 for main and $1,000 for aux. You...

On my old tanks the saltwater got under the rubber gasket and eroded the aluminum tank. You can/should use a Permatex fuel safe gasket gasket treatment on the tank side. Sending unit is probably stainless and in good shape so its not needed. Also note the sending units are indexed and must go...

My Islander has a recess on the gunnel where the fuel fills are located. Water runs down the boat, drops into this pocket and floods around the fuel fill. Probably makes leaving the fuel fill cap off especially problematic. Apparently Perko has figured this out and ships a 3/8" spacer with the...

I have a 268 Islander. The 270 is the same. There is one garboard plug (never knew what it was called). It's at the transom of the boat. I keep mine on a 1/2" PVC cap attached to my boat keys when it's not installed the boat. The others are probably spares. There are several plugs inside the...

I did my tanks on a 268 Islander. https://www.greatgrady.com/threads/268-islander-fuel-tank-replacement.36637/

I fought this gremlin for years until I solved it. Probably o-rings on fuel fills and treating ethanol fuel. I am not using stabilizers and don't fill tanks at end of season. It does not come in thru sending units - would leak fuel if it were not sealed. Pitch boat up high and use a transfer...
