My A/C is behind a panel on the port side of my mid berth. Plenty of room there. The intake was cut into the middle of the removable panel and there is a lot of room to run the duct work. I will saw that I have no idea how many BTUs it is

I just noticed the same problem on my 282 in the same spot. Definitely keep us updated, I’m going to try to fix it this winter.

I had a ‘95 Islander with twin HPDI 200’s. Boat ran 53knots WOT. Be sure to check the stringers when you remove the plate over the tank. The top of the stringers on mine that were DIRECTLY under the seam for the deck plate did not have ANY fiberglass on the top. There was about an inch...

Yes they are 200hp and the scuppers have not been adjusted.

I have 2013 Yamaha I4s on my ‘01 282 Sailfish. Cruise at 28mph burning 16gph 4100rpm. That is with full fuel and water, 100lbs of family “stuff” and 2 adults, 3 kids

I got 53mph out of my ‘95 Islander with twin 200 HPDIs at around 5200 rpm. Never fully opened it up. I would cruise around 28 knots at 3600 burning 14.7gph.

I took my old Islander to a shop and they made templates and fabricated new ones without having the old cushions. It was expensive but not nearly what Grady wanted

Just got an ‘01 Sailfish(moved up from a 268 Islander) and was wondering where anyone has put speakers. The boat came with 2-6.5” in the helm area at knee level and 2-7.7” in the inspection caps at the livewell and fish box. I have 2-8.8” that I’d like to add and was wondering where anyone had...

Mine had a single 134gal tank. It was a 1995

How much of the deck did you do and what did it cost if you don’t mind me asking?

Going to look at a 282 this week with newer F200s. I know they sent a lot of 282s out with 200 HPDIs but does anyone have any info or experience with a 282 Sailfish with F200s? Looking for first hand knowledge of speed and gph burn. Had a 268 Islander with 200 HPDIs and it was a rocket but is...

I found a boat that is a several hour drive that has 2005 F225s. I have 2 questions: 1. Does anyone have experience on a 272 with these motors? I know they don’t have the variable camshaft timing like the ‘05 250’s. Is this boat a dog to get going and what speeds can I expect? 2. The motors...

I had a ‘95 with twin 200 HPDIs and had no issues. Very fast on plane and topped out at 53mph. Thought the motors were the perfect match for the hull.

Thanks for the reply’s. I don’t know which model 200’s they are just that they are 2015s. The seller really doesn’t have too much info on the performance numbers(broker). All others I have seen have 225s or 250s and this one has been for sale for quite a while which is why I’m suspicious.

I live in Stuart Fl and was at HD yesterday and they had plenty

I redid mine with Starboard. 2x4 sheet at Home Depot is $54 for 1/2”

Have you looked at an Islander? Easy to tow, lots of cabin room, tons of fishing room and with twin 200’s it will easily do 50+.

Looking at a 272 Sailfish that has 2015 Yamaha F200s. I’m going up from a 268 Islander that had 200 HPDIs so this seems a bit under powered to me. The boat is a few hours away so if anyone could give me some info I’d appreciate it.

Yes, every time

I had a ‘95 268 with twin 200HPDIs. Decent riding boat and plenty of room. I believe they extended the planing surface all the way to the transom and changed it to the 270. The 270 rides very nicely. Never got wet in it unless it was just blowing like crazy. I got it up to 53 mph once while...
