Thanks for the replies! Grady282owner, mind if I ask where you bought them?

Hi - I am looking to add Lee's Jr outrigger holders (with 18.5' poles) to my 268 Islander. Does anyone have any experience with these, and if so, how do you like them? Thanks, Andy

Thanks! If you look really close at the picture above you can see the small brass rings on the bottom edge of the bolster where the mesh vinyl is.

If you look underneath the bolster you should see brass rings kind of like what what you see on the edges of a tarp where a rope would thread through. There is a screw in there somewhere holding the bolster to the gunnel. Remove those screws and the bolster should pop straight up off of the...

No Sorry - I cut the boards to size (have half of a 4x8 sheet left over), drilled the holes in them (for the brackets) and brought all the materials (a bunch of raw material left over) to a friend of mine who sewed it all up for me.

Hi - I was inspired by the many posts on this forum concerning recovering/building coaming bolsters. The solid backing material (the board that hangs on the stainless clips that the vinyl staples to) was the only thing I had to figure out on my own (high density pvc foam board), everything else...

Hi Guys - I am replacing my simulated teak trim this winter on my 268 Islander. I removed the trim cleaned the fiberglass gel coat and am applying what Grady is using today: http://www.barbourcorp.com/Grady-White_ ... b-rail.htm (F8252 tape) Andy 908.863.1997 I am also building padded cockpit...

Hi - I pulled the tank out of my 268 Islander this winter for the purpose of adding a second one in front of it. I am in the process of having two new ones built by SP tanks in NJ. They have the rubber padding fill hoses, vent hoses, clamps etc. (and a ton of knowledge). My old tank was also a...

Hi Everyone - I stumbled onto these guys, they have good pricing on the Seaquest products and you can buy the Welt'ing by the yard (don't have to buy the whole 50yd spool). I just ordered enough material to do two 6' bolsters and it cost me $150 with material left over (staples not included)...

Hi - Check this place out, I just used them for material to do coaming bolsters on my 268 Islander. http://www.miamicorp.com/default.aspx?t ... ch+Results Andrew

Hi Dustydog - My understanding is that the "welds" on the Seaquest Pleated Vinyl material are 54" long meaning that you can have a 60"+ long bolster with no seams that in effect could be up to 54" tall/high! (minus the amount of material needed to fold over the foam and behind the backer board)...

Hi Dan - I also have a 1995 268 Islander and converted from a single 250 to twin 200 hpdi's. The scuppers are half way submerged but I'm very happy with the repower. I think I will have to raise my motors one more hole though.

Hi Brian - I'm embarrassed to say that I don't have my notes from our conversation as to where the fluxgate and computer went :oops: I'm clear on the pump, connections, etc. but not on the best spot for the fluxgate. Andrew

Hi - I will be installing a Raymarine X10 autopilot on my 268 this or next month. I am looking for advice on where to mount the "Brain computer" and the "fluxgate compass" on this particular boat. Can anyone help me out on this one? thanks. Andrew.

Hi and congratulations on your new boat. I am a new Grady owner as of last August (95, 268 Islander) and I absolutely love it. I had a bizzillion questions from the get-go and am probably down to about a million now. One awesome resource for learning about the engine, gauges, fuel/oil supply...

Greatwhite300 - Thanks for the info on the fuel sender, I'll give them a call in the morning. Since I last posted on buying this boat I have pulled of the very well running 250 saltwater series Yamaha and have hung twin new to me 200 HPDI's. I'm in the middle of rigging and its going really well!

Marty, I found a pair of mint Yamaha 14.5 x 18 props (considering buying them), slightly less pitch but should get me a few more RPM's. Why did you choose the 14.5 x 19?

Hi, Im looking into renting a trailer to bring my 268 Islander from LBI, NJ to my home in Flemington. I am re-powering this winter and it would be so much more convenient to do it at home vs down the beach. Any ideas or anyone local willing to rent? (Hauler is really expensive!!)

Hello All - thanks for your inputs! The 14 1/4" and a 19 Pitch Yamaha props I was looking at sold, I didn't act quick enough :-( Still on the hunt!!

Re: Props for 200hp HPDI's The engines came with Quicksilver 48-13703A41 21P and 48-13702A41 21P I'd be willing to part with these and get a couple of the Yamaha props.
