We replaced everything. The original was green board and that is what I replaced it with. The boat will be ready to be picked it up Monday afternoon. They were hanging the engines today. The rigging tubs also had water in them so we cut drain holes in them and I’m running all new fuel lines they...

Your going to love the boat. I have the 268 and it is a great boat. The are heavy to tow I pull my boat with an F150 and you can tell she is back there. They are some big engines for that boat it should run great. Good luck you’ll love it.

Yes I will let you know as soon as I get the bill. It should be ready next week. We are waiting for the brass tubes and finishing the cut outs on the top deck.

Transom almost done looks great. You can see from the first picture how wet everything was. Everything was replaced and glassed completely closed with NO transom cap. The drain holes with the brass tubes were class so they are water tight and new brass tubing on order. The swim ladder was...

I was going to use coda board but the shop doing it recommended I use the same material Grady did. I did not have any rot at all it was all delaminated from getting wet. Now shopping for new motors. Hopefully they the marina will have them shortly. I have a set of Yamaha 150 saltwater series...

I will do that. I am trying to load some pictures but it’s telling me the file is too large. I may have to get my daughter to do it. I stoped there today to look at it and they are making good head way. They are also doing some additional fiberglass work on some hatches and the transom door.

i was looking at new motors that what started this. Now there is more where the motors mount on the inside has a plactic cover that Grady puts on there. That all needs to be cut off and fixed. To reinstall the tie downs on the transom two holes have to be cut in the floor near the door on one...

I did not have much rot at all but while is apart replacing everything. I am NOT replacing the transom cap to prevent any water intrusion. The top will completely glassed closed and also going to glass and finish the motor well drains. The shop is also repairing a couple of lids for the fish...

I took my 1998 268 islander in to have the transom cap replace two weeks ago. Pulled both motors off and much to my surprise the transom had a little moisture but it was totally delaminates and separated from the wood. I’ve own the boat since 2010 and sealed the transom cap every season. Now...

I have a 1998 Islander 268. I am getting ready to have the aluminum piece taken off and glassed over. I am having both engines taken off the aluminum piece remove off the top and the plastic removed from the front then glassed completely over.

I have a 268 islander. I put the lee wish bone outriggers with the 19.5 foot heavy duty poles. They are perfect for the boat. It is a little tight getting around them but worth it. I angled them so they do not hang past the back of the outboards. I set it up so the pulley attaches to the cabin...

Nice boat looks very clean. Good luck with her that is my dream boat.

The outriggers are on and look perfect on the boat. The Lee Jr’s look gook with 19 foot heavy duty poles. The heavy duty poles allow me to drag two lines on both poles with no flex. Angled the pole so the tips are inline with the back out the outboards.

Re: Pre 1998 Grady Sailfish 272 Ride Quality and Planing Spe I have a 1998 268 Islander. That is the same design as the sailfish but with an 8’6 beam, I love the ride of the boat it handles the seas great. I think once you learn the boat and get used to running it and trimming it out they all...

I’ve seen them mounted but only in pictures. They were an option from the factory but the original owner didn’t get them. I was going to get sidewinders but then I would have to get a plated welded to the bars on the hardtop for extra support. I didn’t want to do all that. The juniors are light...

Hello, I just purchased a set of Lee Jr’s with the heavy duty 19 foot poles. I am mounting them on my 1998 islander. I was wondering if anyone has the jr’s Mounted on a islander could post pictures of the area where they are mounted. I called Grady and asked if the have the measurements when...

Nice fish that’s a perfect way welcome the boat. I have a 1998 268 with twin 150’s love the boat.

We went Sunday ran to the red tower on LBI. We trolled all morning off LBI then down to AC and trolled a couple of lumps down there and nothing. I only heard of one fish being boated. Hopefully, the fish will start moving south. Burned a lot of gas for the boat ride but is was very nice out.

Good day. I’m heading out in the morning leaving before the sun comes up. Going to run north to Long Beach Island and start to troll on the south end of LBI hopefully find some birds working.

Any stripers show up yet up north? I fish out of Ocean city and nothing down here yet. Two trips so far and nothing,
