    I also noticed here they have a little access cover in the rear corner?! Interesting, It might make it easier to access the live well fittings? I was thinking about installing a pedestal mount for a grill under the port rear seat. Seemed like a nice place to make it disappear when not in use.

    This is a little different from mine, but not much different. On mine there is just a wall here on the pasenger side. This one has a little glove box thing.

    I also ran into this, my engine cover is a bit smushed, so it gives me a good reference of how it should sit. My rear seats also seem "off" I'm sure I'm just installing them wrong, but it's nice to see how it should look. This is a 2006 -2008 if I remember correctly. the back of my boat is...

    Then we have one of my favorite 221 islander paint schemes. Looks like they had the bow rail modified to square it off at the front. And I love the little boarding ladder config at the bow.

    I'm back with a 1994 Islander 221V!

    The other day I spent a little time trying to search for islander 221 images via a google image search. I found a bunch of for sale ads that had some restored boats, and others in totally stock form but newer than this 94. For the most part the boat was unchanged other than a few minor...

    1974 Chieftain 25 "Adventurer" Restoration

    Watching this almost gives me the motivation to go outside and start yanking my outdrive. Almost! ;)

    1984 starcraft islander

    the completed boat project list has a few in there. I believe it's a sticky. Most of the pictures have been nuked thanks to Photobucket's cash grab a few years back.

    I'm back with a 1994 Islander 221V!

    the more I think about it, the more I like the idea of adding the new lifting point just under the garage door (when it's open). As long as I can execute it correctly, it shouldn't get in my way. I also have this dream about replacing my current garage door, and have the new one installed so...

    1978 Islander 22 I/O

    Don't forget the smile it put on the guy driving that tractor at the dump! When I dumped a boat, I saw a big smile form on the driver of their crusher machine. U-turn and he speed up to slam into it. Smile from ear to ear on that guy. :ROFLMAO:

    1978 Islander 22 I/O

    When you get to drilling holes for the sides, I did it freehand via a handheld drill. I found it was easier to drill half way through from the outside, and then drill from the inside to ensure the holes lined up. then a little finishing work via a round file to get the bolt holes to line up. I...

    Reminds me of my current engine hoist. Instead of getting one new, I figured I would try and score a used one for cheaper. What I got was one that had been used to lift something very heavy. the boom and one of the legs had a bow to it. I didn't even notice the leg until I tried to pull the...

    I'm back with a 1994 Islander 221V!

    And last night I found myself at Sportsmans warehouse. Wandered back to the boating and fishing section. I spent some time looking at the new fancy fish finders. One I loved had a massive screen, made by Garmin. While messing around with it, I thought "how the heck do you select?!" Then I...

    1978 Islander 22 I/O

    I had to google that stuff to see what it was. https://www.boatoutfitters.com/coosa-composites-board I remember back when this stuff was just a pipe dream, a non-wood transom and flooring material. 😍

    Going through my old build threads, Jet and the Nova. Blast from the past! Neat to see how much my yard has changed over the years. My apple trees alone!! I'm about to rip them out here soon, I can never get decent apples out of them, however they are really good for privacy since they are so...

    I would love to see a picture of that setup.

    I'm back with a 1994 Islander 221V!

    Same setup on my StarChief. I love them, but reading online they suggest using the power ones for boats 22ft and longer. I feel like I don't want to spend a grand here, but I do like the idea of having more control... :unsure:

    Carpet seems so 2010, but good on the toes! Looks good.

    I'm back with a 1994 Islander 221V!

    The other idea would be to create something inside of the garage, but something underneath the garage door when it's open. Really that's just wasted space anyways. plus, I could use the walls to keep it steady, and I could leave it in place for future maintenance tasks. Wife started going...
