Guess I should have said what boat......1995 268 islander

Any suggestions other than Grady on where to get owners manuals?

Just bought a '95 268 Islander w/ twin '95 Johnson 175's. Wasn't able to perform a sea trial, did compression test Port engine ranged from 80 to 95; Sbd engine ranged from 95 to 115. Need to know the weight with or without the engines. The brochure says 4660 w/o the engines. Have gotten...

Looks like there is one with a diesel in Massachusetts. not sure if you're a diesel guy...

No other opinions?

Any 1st hand experience w/ subject package? Any performance numbers available? I have gotten somewhat comfortable w/ the I/O's........they're ALOT less $$$ to repair or replace, and I can work on them myself. Any/all info is welcome.

Anyone have 1st hand experience w/ a 254 Sailfish w/ a 7.4L Mercruiser I/O? I currently have a '84 241 Offshore w/ a Vortec SBC.......a bit concerned about the 254 being under powered! Any/all info welcome.

I currently have a '84 Offshore I/O w/ a roller trailer. I am interested in a 272 Sailfish, which type of trailer is better? Roller or bunk and why? Thanks in advance for any insight.

Can you define *very thirsty*. I rarely go offshore. mostly fish inside.

272 Sailfish: Saw your post from a few years back. Did you eventually purchase the boat? How did the twin 200's work out? How about fuel consumption? I have a similar opportunity a few states away from me and wondering how hard I should consider it? Thanks for any info you can share!

Considering the purchase of the above boat/motors. Said to have VERY low hours. Pics show in very nice condition. Any opinions on this package? Thirsty engines? Currently have a '84 Offshore w/ an I/O

Was really hoping for more feedback....

Just went to look at it today........did not even start the engines. Was definitely a fishing boat, cabin is in rough shape, deck and hatches were solid. Hatches were previously re-cored but the reinstall was terrible.... Looks like original fuel tanks I think should be replaced. Engines look in...

Thanks for that info...........do you know what your cruising speed is at what RPM? Not looking for a speed boat.........wonder if the 175's would be adequate?

No info or opinions?

Looking at 1990 252G w/ Twin 06 175 Suzuki 4 Strokes. Any opinions on this package? Twin 175's enough power. Looking for something a little bigger than my 24 Offshore and get away from I/O's. Asking price is $16K.

Considering giving my '84 Offshore a facelift. Thinking of painting the hull and using Interlux Perfection using the roll and tip method. Does anyone have any first hand experience w/ the paint/method?

I currently own a '84 241 Offshore. Been searching for a Hardtop for years. Found a donor '87 241 Offshore w/ a hardtop being parted out..........made an offer and the marina accepted. Question: will the hardtop from the '87 fit the '84?........I think the answer is yes
