For sale is a restored 1987 starcraft islander. Floor was soft when I bought it. I spent over 500 dollars in fiberglass to replace the floor and hours of time. It has a lowrance hds 5 with GPS with waypoints on lake ontario (was $500). Two cannon swivel bases and cannon electric downriggers. Brand new matching bench seat with inside storage ($300). Ship to shore radio. Cabin is in great shape and has a custom hard top with rod holders. The motor is a 4 banger and is great on gas! All fuel lines and hoses were replaced. The boat runs like a top. This is the perfect lake Ontario boat and I'm sad to see it go. I had twins last year so it was a fun project to put together, unfortunately after all the work I have done, I was only able to use it twice. Boat was repainted by the previous owner. I can add a kicker motor and bracket for the right deal. The bad: the trailer was never registered from the previous owner and I have no clue how to go about it. I used a different plate. The reverse cable needs adjusted. I am asking $3,200!. Located in wilkes barre, pennsylvania. 570-582-9529

Quick report. Took my new to me islander 221 up with my wife and another couple. Buddy only ever came one other time and we blanked so we are both pretty new. Boat ran great after learning a few corks. Long story short I was used to my two stroke outboard and flooded the inboard running the throttle too heavy to start her. Motored out to 120 feet with the kicker thinking i would just stay close fishing for Lakers not knowing what the problem was. Put two gambler rigs on and ran one copper down the shoot with a mag carbon 14. 20 minutes in landed the first king. Switched out the lake trout rigs and hit another king and a Steele. Unfortunately buddy started feeling sick so that was it. 2 hours and we went 3 for 3. Rest of the trip was spent walking the town of oswego and enjoying the beautiful weather. I would have liked to fish more but I have no complaints. After letting the boat sit a while she fired right up and ran great. All equipment worked great also. Cant wait to get back. On another note trying to fish and do harborfest is somewhat of a nightmare. Kinda crazy you cant even park the trailer at a boatlaunch but it is what it is I guess. If I try to do both again will likely drive the boat to mexico to launch. The fireworks were awesome! Tight lines!

Congrats! Nice job

I have an inboard to an outboard kicker. Thanks though

Looking to buy an ez steer from my inboard to outboard 15 hp 4 stroke mecury long shaft. Wholesale marine advised it was in stock but when I attempted to order it is backordered (been 3 weeks and still cant tell me when it will be shipped). Does anyone know where I can find one in stock? Here is a pic of my inboard. It's a 2.5 merc with cobra outdrive if that matters. Kicker is not mounted yet but looks like approx. 28 inch separation when installed. Panther bracket moves up and down 10 inches. Thanks for any help!

Keep it up! That's awesome!

First off thanks for all the responses. Decided to go with 1/2 inch plywood as suggested here. Ran all new fuel lines and hoses. I ordered my epoxy from US composites. I did two layers of epoxy outside the boat and let dry. I then placed them into the boat and screwed down with panheads self tapping screws. I then layed out the fiberglass and did two more coats inside the boat. Overall I am very happy with the outcome. It's in the garage drying as I type this. (Thankfully because it's now raining) no real good photo of the finished product because I took it in the dark. On to the next step...

Sorry for the repeat question. I did a search and lots of info out there. Thanks for everyone who responded

I'm sure it's been covered over and over, but looking for some guidance on what the best set up for Lakers is. I've only ever fished for kings mid August on. Only been at this a few years. Going to oswego July 27 and 28th. Looking to pick up a few rigs for Lakers if I cant get the kings to go. Wife and 2 other couples are coming so would like to hook into something. What would be your top 4 Laker rings if you dont mind sharing? Thanks in advance for any help...

Great and I just ordered a brand new one... wish I knew prior.

Received today! Thanks troubles

Thanks everyone for the replies. Two thumbs up to cannon customer service. Guy answered all my questions and knew they werefrom the 90's. He informed me they have auto stop and will handle a 12lb. Weight. He hinted they can handle much more but related that's what the specs advise.

I'll take them.

So I decided to bite the bullet and do the floor right. Ordering epoxy and fiberglass from uscompsites.com. $495.00 for the epoxy and glass to really tie in the wood the right way. I bought 3/4 plywood. Almost finished getting the old floor out then it will be time to clean up. While open I will be replacing all fuel lines. Epoxy most likely wont be in till next weekend with the holiday so will give me time to get everything right prior to putting in the new floor. Not sure what I'm going to finish with after all the epoxy and fiber are hardened up. Will cross that bridge after. It doesn't look pretty opened up but believe it or not the foam is not waterlogged at all, so I'll be leaving it in. The fuel tank is aluminum and is in good shape also. Ps. I only need 4 sheets of plywood, the rest is for another project. Thanks for the encouragement and suggestions!

Two more toys have arrived. Like Christmas. I picked up a new to me 2004 15hp four stroke and a brand new panther bracket. Going to be connecting the ez steer to the main when I get to it and it arrives in the mail. Raining here and no garage so no work on the floor today.

Little more today...
