Seafoam will do the same for you,I use it in everything but my coffee,great stuff!From my weedeater upto my V10 Ford

Too bad you can't order the boat without power,then you would have many more choices,,,,,,,

A 150 is more than enough on that boat,I would maybe look around for a newer Johnson,2003-07 maybe? 2 stroke,carbs,reliable,380 pounds or so,,

You know,with the F-150/250's of the 1970's I would have no problem pulling 5 or 6000 lbs with them but todays bumpers? no way!The way they are built,the F-250 of today is the 70's F-150

Took this right out of the 2007 owners manual,I would have thought it to be too much too!Even still I wouldn't pull it with the bumper.Using a step bumper (if equipped) The rear bumper is equipped with an integral hitch and only requires a ball with a one inch (25.4 mm) shank diameter. The...

Well,the 1997 Islander was only rated for 400 HP and I can tell you that 350-400hp is fine for that boat,the other thing to consider is that with the weight of the two engines-583lbs each will for sure have your scupper drains under water.Personally if it were me,I wouldn't buy it but I'm sure...

Gradyfish,I agree with you,now I know there are many Islanders with singles,seems to be mostly up north and I'm sure they do ok but in my opinion,that boat needs a minimum of 300 horses at the least,the early ones such as mine were rated at 400 and mine was rigged with 175 Johnsons which pound...

Jimmy and Elmo,Don't overlook the 26 Islander,totally trailerable with a beam of 8'-6" and all the goodies of the bigger 272&282 sailfish,first year was 1995 until 2005

Deep cycles are made just for what you describe,yes,good for house battery!

me thinks a 23 gulfstream, the more you look at it,the side window isn't right for a 24,early 24 had a smaller side window

Either three dual purpose or one starting batt for each motor and then one deep cycle for your house battery

We hooked up our inverter on our Islander just like Brian did on his and it works great,used the same shore power cord setup too,maybe spent 400.00.we just keep the power cord plugged in all the time until we are going to shore power,then the cord gets put in a clamp under the dash.

Well hotajax,Did you figure anything out? Both trailers have their place I guess,I still prefer a roller,I like the way it cradles a boat with all of the rollers.For now I will keep my bunk trailer,if I had to trailer my boat more than once a year I would for sure be buying a roller trailer.Good...

Again HD,the other side to that is if your roller trailer is operating as it should,you can also push your boat off the rollers and the boat generally will be sitting closer to the water with a roller trailer.My first GW almost rolled right off the trailer before it should have after we...

Brian,Whatever happened with your vacation down here last summer?We never heard from you!

Well, I've had both and while roller trailers are heavier and require a bit more maintenance,I would love to have mine back! With a bunk trailer,you better have enough water at the ramp to launch,yes they are lighter,have less moving parts(rollers)but I would much rather have a roller trailer...

No doubt, go with the heavier trailer,dual axle with brakes too! With a full load of fuel and other "stuff",you'll be pushing that 4200 pound capacity too,better check that to be sure

Sinclair, We did our 1995 Islander last june with a pair of 175's,they are sweet aren't they! Fantastic motors!

LB, Crockers did not do the work, Saltwater Marine on Carolina Beach Road did and I have to say they are an excellent bunch and I would have no problem recommending them to anyone.Yes,there is an access port where they cut the hole,I'm not sure anyone could have changed those on the starboard...
