    Pre 1998 Grady Sailfish 272 Ride Quality and Planing Speed

    Re: Pre 1998 Grady Sailfish 272 Ride Quality and Planing Spe I have a 1998 268 Islander. That is the same design as the sailfish but with an 8’6 beam, I love the ride of the boat it handles the seas great. I think once you learn the boat and get used to running it and trimming it out they all...

    Mounting Lee Jrs on a 1998 Islander

    I’ve seen them mounted but only in pictures. They were an option from the factory but the original owner didn’t get them. I was going to get sidewinders but then I would have to get a plated welded to the bars on the hardtop for extra support. I didn’t want to do all that. The juniors are light...

    NJ fishing reports

    We went Sunday ran to the red tower on LBI. We trolled all morning off LBI then down to AC and trolled a couple of lumps down there and nothing. I only heard of one fish being boated. Hopefully, the fish will start moving south. Burned a lot of gas for the boat ride but is was very nice out.

    Replacing main fuel tank on 268 Islander

    I also have a 98 Islander. I wanted to add the Auxiliary tank to the boat because I have twins and wanted the extra fuel for running offshore. I talked to Grady white and the Grady dealer in Delaware about doing the job. The bulkhead does need to be cut out they need to remove the mail fuel tank...

    268 Islander (Red liquid from rod holder)

    No the only sinks are down in the cabin. It does have the shower on the transom but the hose for that run through the rigging tube. I think they do but I will be checking all of these suggestions Sunday when I go down to the boat. I will keep everyone up to date.

    268 Islander (Red liquid from rod holder)

    I will check to make sure. I think the hydraulic lines run down under the floor in the rigging tubes but it is worth checking. Thanks for the info

    268 Islander (Red liquid from rod holder)

    I have an 98 Islander. I have a steady drip of red liquid coming from my rod holder located just behind my fuel fill cap. Two years ago, I removed the rod holder while the boat was shrink rapped for the winter. The rod holder was chalked and replaced and the fuel fill neck was removed cleans and...

    268 islander questions

    I have a 98 Islander and I can tell you that the trim tabs are very sensitive. Before running I always but mine all the way up. If one is down the boat will really lean to one side and make it very difficult to control. I trim the motors first then level it with my tabs. The boat don't roll at...
