    How many come in eac hindividual pack? and what is the difference between the Green and Red labels other than the damn color?

    yeah, mine wanders some too but I am not as worried about the wandering while trolling as I am the getting up on plane/staying on plane at lower RPM and putting the nose in the chop while on plane. The islander is used primarily for recreation at this point..maybe 60% rec and 40% fishing

    Was my first year with the 221 Islander. Boat ran great. I purchased a new 4 blade prop for the boat and it seemed to plane off and hold its plane better than with the standard 3 blade. However, the boat is still relatively heavy in the back with the V6 and the 9.9HP kicker off the kicker bracket, coolers and majority of people. Seriously thinking about having trim tabs installed. Curious to know if anyone, particularly Islander owners, have had tabs installed. I would also like to know the pros and cons of different tab systems. i.e. hydraulic/electric vs the Smarttabs. I am leaning towards the electric or hydraulic. I think that it would make a huge difference in the boats performance.

    Hence the reason I bought my Lifetime Sportsman License three years back before they upped the cost of them..I figure I will already be at the break even point in 2 years

    haha. I have the same Eagle FF. I am upgrading next year for sure. want something with GPS and FF capabilities and at least a 7" screen if possible depending on $. Was ready to pull the trigger on the Lowrance Elite 7 but with all the bad press on this site I am holding off on that. I dont want the down imaging or side imaging BS. May have to go down to staying with the 5" screen on a Humminbird model. Cant afford a Furanu or Raymarine or anything like that

    We fished out of Mexico Pt. Got there late yes! Left the house at 5am on the water 9:15. Headed NE to Salmon river. only a couple of boats out there. allot of boats coming in when we launched saying Nasty out there! Marked very few fish..had one hit on a 90 foot rigger over 140 feet. nothing home. threw all my tackle at them nothing..need to get some meat rigs! Great day though overall. alittle rain but stayed dry under the cover and side curtains. Brother and Mom got alittle queezy after on 30 minutes out in the 3-4' rollers..took some Dramamine, didn't say much for the next 3 hours! Mom took a nap in the cabin. was a fun day to be on the water none the less!
