I finally got my first boat
 

After a long search I found her 1995 272 Islander original owner with 189 hours 454 Brovo 3 all stock. it was an old man that was getting out of boating in fact on our test drive he got a little angry with me because I pushed it to around 40 45 mph and he told me he has never had it that fast I think it had 10mph left in it. I could not be more excited. She was perfect for about a day, now I have a list of things I want to do, nothing to crazy I hope that you all will be a good resource for me. the first thing and IMO the most pressing is it does not have a depth finder. I need some advice on a nice kit I can buy I would like it to have an alarm on it also. The second it the trim it’s not on the throttle its on the dash what are my options to correct that as well. To me these are both almost safety issues. Once I have money again I would like to install captain’s choice, better carb and air filter. Still trying to figure out how to post pics. I tried to attach and it would not let me.

Congrats on your new boat, post some pics.....

Congrats on your purchase!! Wentzville, home of etrailer.com.

I was trying earlier it only thing I was seeing to add a pic was in the tool bar they provide asking for a web link, lets see if this works if it does I will post more

Two ways to post pics. Use a paying membership here, or use a hosting site, like photobucket or others.

Post pics of your throttle. Try Faria Depth Gauge in a google search.

One of the two best days of your life........................congrats, have fun with her.

Yes that and much more fun is also the home of MTI boats. you get to see some incredible boats roll out of there.

congratulations and have fun

so how do I post pictures

The 272 Islander is a good place to start, not to many made, my first Baja was a 272 cuddy, congrats

It took me awhile to find. I needed an open bow for my family but still wanted that sporty look and feel.

Open a photobucket.com account. Upload the photos and paste the IMG tag here

Congrats!!!!!

Awesome! Now post up some pics of your girlfriend... and some of the boat too if you want...

would love to. do you have to be a paying member to post pics? so far the only way I have found it to post a link to photobucket.

Of course you need to be a paying member. Get used to it, you will be pulling out your wallet ALOT !!!!!

Wannabe

Congratulations and yes you do, unless you use photobucket or something similar.
That said I am and cannot seem to upload pics anymore.

Congrats on your new boat! My first boat was a 1990 Baja 250ES with 454 mag. 62 mph top end, FYI. Great boat!

Congrats on the new boat.

I'd also like to know who makes an add-on trim switch for offshore style controls if anyone on here knows who makes them. Had one on my old boat but new boat doesn't have trim on throttle.
