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.
Jim the covers are on there way by the US mail. It was $9.20 and should be the by mid week. You can sent the money to my wife’s PayPal her email is Jammylou108@aol.com.
Thanks again Bob
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.
LBass I have a 98 Islander that had no swelling at all. We took the engines off to replace the bang strip and the entire transom was delaminated. after cutting it open the wood was very wet. We fiberglassed it completely closed. The transom looks so much better. I had the work done at Youngs...
