Andy, I am the second owner of the boat but I believe the boat was delivered with them installed, I will dig up a few pictures for you!

Andy,I own a 1995 Islander with the lee Jr's,Never had any problems with them,love the way they operate AND the way they look.Never did like the outriggers mounted on the hardtop like Brians, nothing wrong with them, I just prefer the wishbone outriggers,

Dan, Sorry for the late response,my scuppers are about halfway submerged with the new power,I'm not too concerned though with the new bronze fittings and new hoses.Yes,we had to cut an access hatch under the transom door to get to the fittings,we used a round threaded one with the o-ring...

You do not really need a diesel however I would recommend at least a 3/4 ton truck be it either Ford,GM or Dodge, I tow a 1995 Islander with a 2008 Ford F-250 with the V-10,I dont tow that much so I couldnt see spending an extra $7000 on the diesel option.Good luck with your choice!

We re[powered our 1995 Islander from the bulletproof johnson 175's to a pair of Suzuki 175 four strokes and cant be happier, the boat handles wonderfully and the extra weight has not been a factor. I did have my thru-hull fittings and hoses replaced as the boat does sit a little bit lower in the...

I see your GW has a bracket,could the bracket have water in it? the other thing is i would be damn sure with a 1989 boat that if the scuppers were under water that the hoses attached to those scuppers in the bilge were at this point either new or replaced! And, are your scupper fittings white...

Jeff,Got ya covered my friend,keep it going! Chris

Dave,hope it helps, as you said,if there is any thing I can help you with,let me know,shoot me a PM if you would like.If you ever get up this way,look me up! Chris

Without starting a brand A vs brand B war,I have never been a yamaha man,if I had an certified Evinrude dealer close by I would have gone with them,that being said,I think the Suzuki is as good as any yamaha.I hear people say the dealer network is weak,I have one 10 minutes from the house,and 1...

Never having been aboard one with a single,I really can't comment however Grady was putting a single 250 on them and the general opinion was favorable with the people that owned them,I could only imagine a single 300 would work as well if not better with the extra ponies.It would be 200 pounds...

We repowered our 1995 islander with a pair of 175 suzis and couldn't be happier,plenty of torque and power and while I havent measured,they definitely sip fuel,enough to notice over the old Johnsons.

you know,once we get off on a tangent,,,,,,,,

"he didn't eat a car did he?" Had one funny tale,my wife and I along with my neighbor were out drift fishing and she caught a small shark,about 1-1/2 ft long,my neighbor grabs it by the body and is holding it out away from him when the shark makes a lunge for his stomach and bite a hole into...

With my Islander,I turn on the pump and run all the water out of the tank that way,I have 4 outlets so it takes a short amount of time,then I put RV antifreeze into the tank along with some water and run it through the system until all the outlets are showing pink,thats the color of the...

Many thanks.........

well to be quite honest,it was a toss up between the suzukis and a pair of 200 e-tecs,one of the the most deciding factors was the fact that my suzi dealer is 10 minutes from the house and the e-tec dealer is about an hour.After getting used to the different power band of the suzis over the...

I was beginning to think it was my computer,,,,,,

Hookup, FYI, Grady probably only recommends the Yamaha 150 four strokes on the 268 as four stroke replacement,however,I repowered my 1995 268 with a pair of 175 suzukis,more power at the same weight as the 150's.You wouldn't want anything less than 300 total hp on that boat but you surely do not...

Tash,I would look around some more because you sure don't need a triple axle trailer for the 275,
