Just wanted to see if you made the requested donation to Wish A Fish or Lab Rescue as I never heard back in response to my email.

Bob I have a galvanized trailer that has been nothing but trouble, I think its probably at the limits for the boat and until 2008 did an annual trip from Jupiter FL to Manteo NC. With trailering problems and lack of use down here (FL) combined with the $500/mo rack fee and trailer storage...

My brother has a 225, maybe we should plan our NY family visit for the summer this time, then we can take it out for a day and get a real good feel for it that a sea trial would not give.

Thanks for the replies, I have a 268 Islander with a Suzuki 300 on it now so I wouldn't give it up to go for a 226/228, what I would give up on the cabin, plus the increased cost would not be worth it and I'd be better off buying an aluminum trailer and an Excursion to tow it around for family...

Just got back from the Miami Boat Show and I like the 230 and 257 while my wife prefers the 225 or the 275. Looking for pluses and minuses of each style - we've had a 180 and an Islander (W/A). I'd like to head offshore and hit the Bahamas, while also doing near shore and cruising. Thanks...

Same here, it would fly with the new Yamaha 300. Told the dealer to let me know when he gets one in.

Anyone heard anything on pricing?

Based on what you're looking for, they are probably the best deal. They post on THT and while people have had issues with buying boats from them with regard to options, changes in packages, etc. you are ordering a commodity item with no changes from their posted prices so you should be fine.

I have a 2000 Islander that I repowered from a single 250 to a Suzuki 300 - difference is incredible. Much faster, quieter and more fuel efficient. I'll be listing it for sale in February after I bring it back down to FL from NC.

I have the 300 Zuke on my Islander and love it. Upgraded from a 250 SWS II.

Twins are not an option on the 222. If she insists on a cabin, I'll stick with 2 boats and swap the 180 to NC and bring the Islander down here. Will just put a new trailer under it.

I bought a used Suzuki 300 and repowered my 2000 Islander last year. Definitely a great engine.

Mike at Outboard Specialties in Pompano will set you up with a pair of Zukes and take good care of you on service as well.

Don't want to tow that much on a 1,000 mile round trip. Just had someone suggest swapping my 180 for a Bluewater 2350, hmmm.

The 257 is the larger CC, the 258 Journey is the walkaround. If I was getting another cabin model, I'd give up on trailering and show her the 33 Express.

I have a 268 Islander and a 180 Sportsman and have decided to sell both and get either a 222 or a 257, though my wife would prefer a cabin. Looking for anyone that has experience with both - I'd be trailering including a once a year round trip from FL to NC. Trying to weigh the advance of the...
