If anyone had outriggers mounted on the hardtop could you please post a pic of them. Trying to figure out where the best place to mount them is. Thanks

That is a great idea! I had not seen that yet but it looks pretty simple to do and the bow rail stays in one piece. Original plan was to make the “U” shaped end removable since the trolling motor is only going to be on the boat when I’m going bottom fishing but that bracket keeps it out of the...

I am looking to add a Rhodan to my ‘01 282 Sailfish and was thinking of mounting it on the end of the pulpit. This means I’ve got to move the anchor and roller to come out of the bottom of the pulpit the way the ‘05 and up 282’s are. I have found the roller for the middle of the pulpit that...

Anyone installed a Rhodan on a 272/282 Sailfish? If so please post some pics

Same one

I had both Duracell and Interstate batteries and the Interstate lasted much longer. I’ll pay the extra money for the Interstates.

The further south in Fla you go the more inlets you have. From Ft Pierce to Ft Lauderdale the inlets are pretty close together.

Just so happened I needed to drop something off there. Let me know if you have any other questions

It’s an ‘01. If I can get over to the boat today I’ll snap a pic

My A/C is behind a panel on the port side of my mid berth. Plenty of room there. The intake was cut into the middle of the removable panel and there is a lot of room to run the duct work. I will saw that I have no idea how many BTUs it is

I just noticed the same problem on my 282 in the same spot. Definitely keep us updated, I’m going to try to fix it this winter.

I had a ‘95 Islander with twin HPDI 200’s. Boat ran 53knots WOT. Be sure to check the stringers when you remove the plate over the tank. The top of the stringers on mine that were DIRECTLY under the seam for the deck plate did not have ANY fiberglass on the top. There was about an inch...

Yes they are 200hp and the scuppers have not been adjusted.

I have 2013 Yamaha I4s on my ‘01 282 Sailfish. Cruise at 28mph burning 16gph 4100rpm. That is with full fuel and water, 100lbs of family “stuff” and 2 adults, 3 kids

I got 53mph out of my ‘95 Islander with twin 200 HPDIs at around 5200 rpm. Never fully opened it up. I would cruise around 28 knots at 3600 burning 14.7gph.

I took my old Islander to a shop and they made templates and fabricated new ones without having the old cushions. It was expensive but not nearly what Grady wanted

Just got an ‘01 Sailfish(moved up from a 268 Islander) and was wondering where anyone has put speakers. The boat came with 2-6.5” in the helm area at knee level and 2-7.7” in the inspection caps at the livewell and fish box. I have 2-8.8” that I’d like to add and was wondering where anyone had...

Mine had a single 134gal tank. It was a 1995

How much of the deck did you do and what did it cost if you don’t mind me asking?

Going to look at a 282 this week with newer F200s. I know they sent a lot of 282s out with 200 HPDIs but does anyone have any info or experience with a 282 Sailfish with F200s? Looking for first hand knowledge of speed and gph burn. Had a 268 Islander with 200 HPDIs and it was a rocket but is...
