    How Strong is Your Boat?

    I have a 2001 Islandia 12 seater. It says it has 240hp. If i get more than about 8 people in my boat it just doesn't have enough power to carry them effectively. It won't plane, it bogs down and seems like it's far weaker than it should be. Normally I only have between 4 to 6 people in the...

    Stuck in 10th gear

    No lights

    I was cruising along the lake the other night in my 2001 Islandia and suddenly my headlights, bow lights, stern light and horn stopped working, came back on a couple of times, stopped working again and I stopped the boat to see if could figure out what was going on. The lights never came back...
