Nice, congrats!

In that case you could dump it in a small condensate pump and run a small hose to the sink. I was assuming you were running it while it was in storage on the hard. Lucky you get to use it year round...

Looks good. Have you thought of placing the dehumidifier to the right of the sink and letting it drain into the sink overboard instead of to the bilge? Just my .02 Edit - sorry, I probably should have read the reply after your post. Yes, if you drain it into the head floor it goes into a small...

Awesome, congrats! Best of luck with her. We love ours.

Congrats Chris! I had a ‘99 268 with twin 200 Ox66’s for twelve years. Jumped out of the hole and ran close to 40 knots wide open. I loved that boat. Good luck with yours! Kevin

I thought the Marlin had a 19.5 deadrise compared to a 19 on the 265. Either way, I think you’ll find the Marlin to be a better ride and more stable on the hook.

I have one on my 282 Sailfish. It’s nice, but it has it’s limitations. It (obviously) only provides protection mid day, in that as soon as the sun has any angle to it, the cockpit is exposed. A side/rear attachment would be nice to move around to provide protection in those times. My .02.

As the saying goes, you have to pay to play. Perhaps you would be better off purchasing a Bayliner with a 130 i/o to take the kids fishing and tubing. It's tough to change the laws of physics. If you want a safe, sturdy, reliable boat to take the family out on, spend the extra few bucks and...

I have an Islander 268 with twin fuel injected saltwater series ox66 200's. At cruise, I range between 1.4-1.6, but the most consistent speed seems to be 30 mph, turning at 4,000 rpms, burning 20 gallons per hour, giving me 1.5 mph. The max speed is 45 mph, burning 45 gallons per hour. I hope...

Great pics, thanks for sharing!

Beautiful boat, congratulations. Can't wait to see next years post when you upgrade to a sailfish. Good luck, and enjoy.

I'm thinking I should have asked for advice BEFORE I bought the traps....

Fishtales - Anti static mat material seems like a great idea. Any suggestions on where to get it? Thanks again.

Looking for advice - I just purchased five lobster traps, thought I would try my hand at catching some on the North coast of Mass. I have heard that lobstering beats up your boat pretty bad. Any ideas on how to protect the gunwhale/hull/cockpit? Thanks in advance for any advice.

Thanks guys. Rejex looks like the one to use, I will give it a go. I appreciate the advice.

I have heard good things about applying Rain X or similar product on the windshield. I have been told it helps a lot when it gets snotty offshore. Anybody have any experience/advice? Thanks. Kevin

Old Scantum, about 20 miles off of Portsmouth, N.H.

That's actually my buddy with the tuna in the pic. And yes, I think I was interrupting something when I took the picture.

Expensive? Maybe, but compare it to the price of staying home and working on the honeydo list...

Gradyfish - wow, a lot to think about, you've mentioned many things I haven't considered. I sure appreciate your time and feedback. Good luck this season, enjoy that beautiful boat.
