Baby G G, Did you send them your front curtains and they replaced just the eisen glass or did they make all new?? Also how much did they charge?? I'm ready to do the same thing to my front curtains!! Thanks Howard

One last comment I would also take a serious look at the 22'8" with the closed transom.

200 hpdi &22'6" Grady G-Crazy, I have twin 200's HPDI's! I never owned a 4stroke but I can tell they are very reliable and efficient motors!! They use approximately 30% less oil then my previous brand new 225 Mercury Optimax. You will also love the 22'6 and it's enough motor. My friend has...

rod launcher If you send me your e-mail, I'll send you pictures installed! Howard

Hey BobP, Heading your way in two weeks. Hows striper fishing??

Guys, Just had a great experience with a company out of California that manufactures SS rocket launchers. They sell through e-bay and have a lot different configurations. For my 27" Islander, he customized the drop of 5 rod holder so I can reach the top of the rod holders. Built and shipped...

plastic hull fittings Had this identical problem with my 2000 22' Robalo. Replaced all thru hull fittings with SS!!

The Sony speakers were model XS MP1620W. Check ebay since they were less expensive than West Marine. Good luck!!

The Sony speakers are 6.5" marine speakers which fit perfectly. West Marine carries them.

Striper fishing gradyfish22, Striper fishing has been red hot over the last two weeks. Average catches for a few hours fishing averaging 15 to 20 fish. No big cows yet. Going to start working the ocean jigging & live bunker for bigger fish. Unfortunately the blues have been hammering the...

I replaced mine with Sony's and they fit perfect mounting holes and all. I agree with gradyfish22 that Infinity do sound better but more money. My sony's were installed last August and will sell them for $50 for the pair if your interested in perfect match mounting. Otherwise, go with the...

Garmin I have a 4208 and love it! My only recommendation is moving to the 5208 touch screen which provides easier entering of data. HB

Spot Device I have a SPOT device that works real well in tracking your position and is much lower in cost. This does not auto send signals but would have worked great for the men in Florida! Just a good int rem device if you can't spend the money for the hydro activated epirb. I agree that...

GPS Combo I have an Islander with Garmin 4208 8" and fits perfectly in the compartment. It's a little more than $1k but I would spend the extra $. The fishfinder picks up 2 ounce sinkers under the boat and the gps screens are crisp and detailed. Very user friendly software as well. My only...

33 Express I test drove one and loved the boat handling! I did not like the helm layout at all. The center chair (premium style) took up the helm area. With twin 350's didn't like the fuel consumption. Close to 60 GPH towards top end. Hope this helps.
