    270 Islander Stereo

    My 270 has a Kenwood stereo. The boat is new to me. When I got the boat last winter the stereo would power up. Now it does not. My boat does not have 30 amp power, so I have four red tabs with the battery switches. One master, two bilges and "memory". I think memory is the direct wire to the...

    27 Islander Garboard Plugs

    My boat is new to me. I am putting it back in the water next week. I found three garboard plugs in the helm seat cubby. I know there is one hull drain at the bottom of the aft end of the hull.

    Decals

    As part of the re-build of my GW 270 Islander I am replacing all the decals with OEM decals from Discontinued Decals or other suppliers. I have one decal I cannot find. The helm deck seats are in good condition, but are missing what I assume are GW stickers as there remains a little glue strip...

    Purchase of 2004 Sailfish

    I have tried to buy a couple of boats to no avail. Today I found what I believe is an almost perfect boat for me. It is a 2004 Sailfish at a GW dealer. The dealer took it in trade a month ago and installed brand new Yamaha 250's. The boat is clean and nice. It has nice Simrad electronics and...

    2003 270 Islander

    I am considering a 2003 GW Islander in Falmouth MA. I need input on a surveyor. The boat is outwardly pristine, but as with all Grady's I am concerned with the possibility of water intrusion and rot in the transom and stringers. I live in Virginia, so I don't know surveyors in that area. I have...
