Look up Aluthane from epoxyprodrcts.com. used it on the floors and hull of my Islander when I re did the floor. It is not cheap but it goes. A long way. Used one gallon for my floors and transom. Ditto on the foam. Mine was saturated. Removed it and found a small hole below the waterline that I repaired. I was going to top coat the aluthane but I left it and 3 years later the floors look great. Epoxy Products were great to deal with. Answered questions quickly. I did have to ship to a US address because I live in Canada. No big problem as I go to Buffalo often.

I found that when I removed the floor, it ended under the bulkhead for the cabin. In order to install the 3/4 inch, the slot under bulkhead needed to be widened. I used a oscilating tool to open up the slot. Next time, there is one, I would stick with 1/2 inch. The original lasted over 20 years. The original had no coating. I think my new floor will outlast me

Look up aluthane. When I got my islander it had soft floors At the back. I ripped out the floors and found a little water damage at the outside lower edges of the transom. Replacing the transom on these boats is not hard. Check out the starcraft area of iboats. I used aluthane to seal the new transom and deck. I have left the deck with just the aluthane it has lasted 4 summers so far with no hint of wear. I upgraded to 3/4 ply. If I were to do it again I would keep the 1/2 inch. I was shopping for a 22 like yours but got a deal on a 19. You didnt get a deal, you got a steal.

I have a 191 Islander with 2 of the same riggers. It came with 4. I mounted the 2 with the shorter booms about 10 inches in on the transom. I have 2 Scotty rod holders on the sides about 4 feet from back. The riggers are on swivel mounts. I have 2 more Scotty rod holders on the back just near the edges of the dog house. The set up is the 2 riggers deep and 2 dipseys on 10 foot rods on the sides and setup for a leadcore down the chute. I would mount 2 and keep the others as spares.

Nope. I guess I got lucky.

Thanks for the input My first thought was Lakers when we were on the boat. I had second thoughts when I looked at the pics at home. Sent from my LG-H812 using Lake Ontario United mobile app

Got out on Big O on Sunday afternoon. 50 to 60 fow. Got 2 beauties and lost a larger one right at the boat. I thought that these were Lakers but on a second pool are they Browns? I think that Lakers have more green in them. Caught them all on a dypsy on a 2 setting and 150 feet if line. A silver faceted spoon had all the magic. Let me know your thoughts about Browns or Lakers. Sent from my LG-H812 using Lake Ontario United mobile app
