Boat looks good. I put F150’s on my 98 in June the boat runs great. I am getting 44mph wot.

This issue is not only with the Islander it is all of the Grady white boats. It is something that most boat owners don’t really pay attention to until it’s too late and water has already gotten in. My boat was done by Youngs Fiberglass in Marmora NJ and they do a lot of gradys. But keep in mind...

I will say that the 268 with twin 150’s is a perfect match. The boat tops out at 44 MPH with a full tank of fuel and three Guys on the boat. I ran it 50 miles offshore and average 1.9 mpg. The motors have Just under 30 hours and will Continue to improve as time goes on. It is also performs...

It did come out very well. Now I’m looking for a marlin. It just never ends.

I did the transom with the same material that Grady used to keep the boat balanced. You have to cut two holes in the deck to remove the rings on the back of the transom it was the only way to reach them. So instead of putting inspection places I had all that reglassed to look original. Then we...

I have a 98 Islander that i put a new transom in two years ago. I fixed all the issues where water was getting in including that aluminum bang strip and the brass through hulls in the motor well. My transom was soaked but because the of the wood Grady uses had no rot at all it was all...

They are very easy to replace. I replaced two of mine in about a half hour. You can also have that one refurbished.

Glass it closed you never have to worry about it again.

Where is your Islander located. I have a couple of questions for you about The auxiliary tank.

I can’t even find a marlin worth buying. I looked at three of them and haven’t found anything yet. Looked at a 2001 that I was going to repower but it was completely trashed need so much work it wouldn’t have been worth it.

Don’t cross the lines over the outboard. I don‘t cross mine lines because it wears the paint off the motors. Tie the back straight to the cleats and use your spring lines to control the boat moving side to side.

How old is the motor?

You can find Yamaha touch up paint and most Yamaha dealers.

Beautiful boat

My boat had no indication that the transom was wet at all. Took the motors off to replace that bang strip and the entire transom was delaminate. no rot at all.

I have a 1998 Islander. I had to redo the transom on my boat also it all Delaminate. Feel free to give me a call or your local you can come look at mine. We made several changes while putting to back together.

I had to have my transom completely redone. Where are from.
