The stepped transom provides less buoyancy. I have a 99 islander. It’s stepped. Is the 97 sailfish stepped? I would be very aware of the weight increase

Could it have been a gel coat crack that had moisture in it , which the froze and opened up? Also was the boat trailered for a long distance?

I have a 99 islander that I spent a year redoing. Good boats. Safe and you can trailer them. I do 100-150 mile runs about 15 times a year off Southern California. I highly suggest keeping the stern light and using the hull length to get the boat to run its best. It’s worked for me and I burn...

I would check all connections and any software updates. I’ve seen this be a problem on controls and can be difficult to run down.

I think I may know the answer for this question, but thought I would reach out to see if anyone has seen one. I have a 1999 268 islander that has been redone, repowered and is used for big 100-150 trips off Southern California. 26’-11” in length and 8’-6” beam. If I reinforce the hardtop and add...

I have twin f150 2019 on my 268. Works out perfectly. You will be in good shape. Choose the props wisely

#10, 1 1/2” or 2”. Be careful to not screw into any fuel lines for wires.

I thought I was crazy. Nice work. Keep going.

Excellent process. Granular.

Good deal at 280. They are a major pain and you just bruise up your arms.

Take it slow, 55- 60 mph is perfect. Keep lots of space between you and car ahead. Keep the Durango lightly loaded and maybe do an oil change. It should handle it well. Slow and steady wins the race.

The best option that I see, is cut the middle bulkhead, slide forward tank out aft, cut it and then extract it. Add a new tank that fits without having to cut out the rear bulkhead and also add to new rear tank. This should easy add up to 150 gallons. That being said, I’ll never do this! I’ll...

I’ve got two ofs3. They are peppy and give good fuel #’s.

Everything looks great. Nice work and nice forklift! I hope you get years out of those Mercs.

I have a 99 islander. I’m going to be straight up with you, from what I can see that boat may have been sunk or held a lot of water from rain or a leak. I’ve seen bilge hose cracks pump water from the hull, right back into the hull and kill batteries. I suggest you get a real surveyor or shop...
