Is it "all original one owner"?

Ain't no one falling out of that thing. Deep is an understatement....

I'd like to start the bidding on the Islander at 1$. Just to get things rolling. Just kidding, awesome boat Jason, Good find :rockon: Goldfish. Cheap, not so cheap, pretty cheap how did you do?

Re-cap...over the past few years I saw you get the 1974 Mirror Craft, 1976 22' Islander, convert to an inboard (Mercruiser), then the little Sea Nymph (without adding my suggested 300HP, I might add!)...now the 26' Islander! Am I missing something? I feel Like there was another?

I get that it's something you 'wanted for long time' but you have a sickness...admitting it is the first step?! Might I suggest Hording?

I would say I'm jealous, but truthfully, I'm not...building boats is no where near the same as using your boat!

I applaud your follow-through and I suspect this will be your Swan's Song?

Congrats...and happy re-boating!

((No Baja's, or Chris Crafts were harmed in the acquisition/rebuilding of the behemoth known as the 26' Islander)

P.S. I'm just happy you have an understanding wife (mine got mad when I got the new one and spent $ on the short block...but in the same breath, asked "When are we taking her out?")

Hey thanks for checking it out fellas:D

Ok, so I have some thoughts and comments on the new rig but first I must post up a huge thanks to my amazing bride...

Congrats and an half! Damn fine score. Those big boys are a hard find in our parts and usually they are at a premium price. I see in the pic it has your favorite engine :D so I am sure that will be on the way out for lets say a more reliable power plant. The last one of those that I had a chance to get at a good price had the old white leg and I had to pass.

Ok, now let's not put the 22 on the back burner. I am sure you want to take some time to observe and debate on which direction you want to go with the big girl so in the meantime I am sure you can complete the 22.

Yep, gotta ask.......how bad did it hurt the wallet??
