    Does anyone have a good source for replacement corner covers such as the ones in the picture?

    Anyone know the story behind this boat?

    I have this model and year but mine came with twin yamaha 225s from 02 for some reason. The exterior looked almost the same and was stored inside mostly. It's hard to tell from photos how much sun damage there is but it looks to be mostly cosmetic. That's a nice asking price if the pictures...

    Hatch Trim Remodel

    The original plastic was very yellow from age and a couple had some broken corners. It was an eyesore. Not easy to see in the pic but you can see the one hatch. I was so focused on changing the look I didn't get any great before pictures. I went through several unintended coats and 48 hour...

    TV Mount

    Fantastic ideas here. I couldn't have asked for a better description either. The location is the direction we sleep and would be ideal. Thanks again.

    TV Mount

    It is the space just above the speakers and anchor locker. It's about 2 foot wide and would mount nicely, just concerned about thickness... Now that I'm in the boat I can feel the wall is only about 1/8th inch thick so some finished nuts with bolts would be needed. If anyone has mounted...

    TV Mount

    Thanks for the reply Dennis. On the anchor locker door was sort of my second option. There is a vertical surface just above that where I suppose the bow seating is molded and the hatch just above that. I am unsure how thick it is and it is carpeted. Maybe I could get away with 1/4 screws there...

    TV Mount

    Hey all! I'm considering adding a small tv for an extended stay in the cuddy cabin of our '01 268 Islander. Have any of you done this? Where did you mount it and type of hardware used? I am thinking on the vertical surface just between my hatch and anchor locker but I don't necessarily want...

    1995 268 Islander

    I have a new to me 01 islander and noticed the same. Learning to dial in the tabs helped tremendously. Enjoy the ride and good luck.

    Adding a hard top vs bimini

    Sounds perfect. If someone comes along with the immediate need on either one don't hesitate to pass them on. Much appreciated.

    Adding a hard top vs bimini

    Thats awesome. Thank you. The one I am wanting to buy has a bimini but yours may be in better condition. I'll take it off your hands either way.

    Adding a hard top vs bimini

    Hey Russ. I am looking at a couple Islanders this coming week and will likely be buying an 01 without the radar arch. I live in Florida but travel to Texas 4-5 a year for work. I would love to grab it if things work out. Scott
