Didn’t know where to post this so it seem like a decent spot. Just got back from a trip to Punta Cana with the kids and the grandkids. Went fishing on a boat called gone fishing he has five or seven boats that go out. Never saw a mate work so hard and I fished everywhere all around the states. We weren’t out 15 minutes and had three mahi-mahi on different lines. The day continued with more Quite a few more Mahi lost count on barracuda a nice white marlin brought to the boat after It got done tail walking for 20 minutes. And had a huge blue marlin on for about 10 minutes before we lost it. Huge blue marlin raised up towards the back of the boat and hit one of the rods so hard it shattered 1000 pounds swivel. Can’t recommend these guys enough if you ever go to Dominican republic Punta Cana look up gone fishing. My son and I had a fantastic time.

I have 2 , 2 1/2 horse outboard for sale or trade. 2 1/2 horse Evinrude 2 1/2 horse Johnson from the mid-50s and 1, 35 horse from the mid-50s. Anyone interested?

The last boat I had had a mast on the front but it was threaded so you could add extensions and raise it up

I made a set out of pvc that fit over two of the rod holders on the arch on my Islander and turn outward with pulleys on the ends. I’ll try to get time and put them on and get a pic if you want

I did the dowels sealant and paint, worked great.

My daughter got me a suit for Christmas 30 foot long self-adhesive backing programmable for probably 20 different colors works fantastic

I don’t know if the app has changed or if I have problems with the app. If I look at anything on the forum way down the list when I’m finished reading that and want to go to the next one it automatically takes me back to the beginning. And I have to start all over searching again. Is this normal or do I have a problem with the app? I tried deleting the app and reinstalling it does the same thing.

I talked to a guy once who had an islander. He bought the water bag that they use in wakeboard boats. He could pump 200 gallons of water into the front bag To hold the nose of the boat down and regulate the amount of water in the bag as needed.

That would be great but like you said that’s way too far away from Albany New York area

Looking for a tandem axle trailer for my 19’ Islander. I have a good single axle but would like the stability and safety of a tandem axle. Any ideas where to get one?

Redid everything on the Islander. Lower unit motor carburetor interior upholstery. Keeping it love the boat. Would love to find a tandem trailer for it.And you’re right rolmops, I live near, and fish Sacandaga quite a bit, it can get snotty .

I had a trolling motor on it took it off more of a pain then it was worth with the ez steer. My Islander will go down to 1.5 mph On its own and charge the batteries great. What I’d like to have the trolling motor for is for spot lock.

Anyone ever mount an electric trolling motor on an Islander? Looking at a minn kota Ulterra with spot lock and self deploy for perch and lakers.

$77000 !

Don’t know if this helps any. Friend of mine ran a service station for 40 years.When the block cracked on one of my cars he recommended Jasper engines. He said top shelf motors and blocks. Sent from my iPhone using Lake Ontario United

I put in regular 2 inch insulation that’s aluminum foil backed and use the Silver metal tape that you use for duct in the house that’s been there three years and no problem Sent from my iPhone using Lake Ontario United
