I did not have much rot at all but while is apart replacing everything. I am NOT replacing the transom cap to prevent any water intrusion. The top will completely glassed closed and also going to glass and finish the motor well drains. The shop is also repairing a couple of lids for the fish...

I took my 1998 268 islander in to have the transom cap replace two weeks ago. Pulled both motors off and much to my surprise the transom had a little moisture but it was totally delaminates and separated from the wood. I’ve own the boat since 2010 and sealed the transom cap every season. Now...

I have a 1998 Islander 268. I am getting ready to have the aluminum piece taken off and glassed over. I am having both engines taken off the aluminum piece remove off the top and the plastic removed from the front then glassed completely over.

I have a 268 islander. I put the lee wish bone outriggers with the 19.5 foot heavy duty poles. They are perfect for the boat. It is a little tight getting around them but worth it. I angled them so they do not hang past the back of the outboards. I set it up so the pulley attaches to the cabin...

Nice boat looks very clean. Good luck with her that is my dream boat.

The outriggers are on and look perfect on the boat. The Lee Jr’s look gook with 19 foot heavy duty poles. The heavy duty poles allow me to drag two lines on both poles with no flex. Angled the pole so the tips are inline with the back out the outboards.

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...

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...

Hello, I just purchased a set of Lee Jr’s with the heavy duty 19 foot poles. I am mounting them on my 1998 islander. I was wondering if anyone has the jr’s Mounted on a islander could post pictures of the area where they are mounted. I called Grady and asked if the have the measurements when...

Nice fish that’s a perfect way welcome the boat. I have a 1998 268 with twin 150’s love the boat.

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.

Good day. I’m heading out in the morning leaving before the sun comes up. Going to run north to Long Beach Island and start to troll on the south end of LBI hopefully find some birds working.

Any stripers show up yet up north? I fish out of Ocean city and nothing down here yet. Two trips so far and nothing,

The liquid stopped now. Not a drop with all the rain and washing the boat not a drop. And everyone wonders why I am bald. :bang

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...

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.

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

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...
