22ft v-5 islander to side console DONE

**horiconducker** · June 20th, 2011, 12:27 PM

For those you you that had been following our original post sometime ago, a few weeks ago we got the boat pretty well completed. I know many of you will not like the paint job, but we built the boat for a dual purpose fishing and hunting boat, fish dont care what color the boat is but ducks do.

Our first water test just went to a small local lake.

Looks great, nice work.

The grey looks fine to me, and that layout is great for just about anything.

Since the boat was rated for 240hp i was a little worried the 150hp merc, might only perform marginally, but i sure was wrong, had a top speed of 47mph on gps with 3 guys and a half tank of fuel on board on our second trip. Here is video from our first water test( hopefully it works i think you will have to click on picture)

Words cannot describe how freakin' badass that boat is. Seriously.

**djpeters** · June 20th, 2011, 02:45 PM

Nice work. I like it.

**KellyC** · June 20th, 2011, 03:53 PM

I agree with these ^^^^^^^^^^^^ 2 up there. I like it a lot.

100% utility boat! Man, love it! Wide open spaces on that deck, sweet

**dozerII** · June 20th, 2011, 04:55 PM

This is what most of us are all about.
Take your old and tired boats and give them a new life.
Customize it to fit your needs for a lot less then new.
Get out there and use it without breaking the bank.
Good on you and yes I like the paint job too.

That is a awesome job!! Now we want to see some pics with some dead ducks!! Again, bad azz boat!!

**powersledder** · June 21st, 2011, 03:24 PM

It's like a deep V deck boat, I want one!

**JD in Milwaukee** · June 21st, 2011, 11:21 PM

I love the stealthy gray paint. I'm in the process of turning my 22' Islander into a center console. I like what you did. WOW! I just watched the video. That's a holeshot! Are you sure it's rated at 240hp? I thought it was 140hp.

**horiconducker** · June 22nd, 2011, 12:40 AM

Yeah im sure its 240hp. Here is a pic of my capacity plate.[IMG]

[/IMG] Dont quote me on this, because im not entirely sure, but it seems from the research i have done, any of the hulls that came with 20 inch transoms have a 140hp or so rating, but the hulls that had a 25 inch transoms seem to be rated for 240hp,
Like i said, not saying that is always true, but from looking up the different model specs here on iboats and on abos.com, that seemed to be the differences in ratings.

**JD in Milwaukee** · July 19th, 2011, 11:25 PM

Nice! I don't have one of those on my boat. Mines an I/O. But if it takes a dump it will be an outboard that replaces it.

**Pugetsound** · July 20th, 2011, 01:37 AM

You can help me -- What year is the Merc 9.9 you have on your boat. I have one just like it i purchased on craigs list with NO serial number in fact itwas painted silver when i bought it. It a 9.9 4 stroke el start log shaft. It sits next to the 200HP Johnson on my 22 holiday 1975. thanks

**horiconducker** · July 20th, 2011, 11:34 PM

The kicker is an 02. Main motor is a 00

**paparoof** · July 21st, 2011, 12:11 AM

fantastic. I like the color too. very, very nice job.

**RZR2007** · July 21st, 2011, 12:21 AM

If you like it, who cares what anyone else thinks! I think it looks great and serves its purpose!

**jetstreakdave** · July 22nd, 2011, 06:52 AM

very nice job.

**mv6767** · July 24th, 2011, 05:39 PM

Looks great! I have a 21ft Mariner that I picked up last year. I gutted all the interior and plan to throw a .125 5052 aluminum floor in it. Thought about running a side console and after seeing this my decision is made.
