What years where the Holiday V5 21-22 footers produced? I am looking at one that has the full 5 strakes and a OMC i/0 the owner thinks it is a 1981 or 1982. It is a large boat, it looks large when my full size pickup is parked next to it.

I'd look but I'm on my phone, check the brochure sticky at the top of this forum. The PO is in the general area for the year. I have the open bow version, '79.

That hull is sweet to be sure! The driveline is a dinosaur though, bummer.

jasoutside,

I have read most of your islander thread, was especially interested in the outboard on a bracket vs i/o debate as I was considering the outboard on a bracket route if I purchase this boat.

Any thoughts after having done the i/o swap?

Oh wow, great question! Without getting long winded (because it is a good subject to kick around) I'll say that if I were to hit the do-over button I'd likely go the exact same route I took.

Pull and sell the Stringer Drive
Buy up a donor boat with a good IO
Retro fit the new IO

Why? In short, $$ and I do believe I lean IO (vs. the OB).

If a captain had cash to spend and/or was a die hard OB guy, OB on a bracket would certainly be the way to go.

Just my thoughts man:eagerness:

it is amazing how much cheaper an I/O motor is to rebuild compared to a comparable HP outboard!!!! then you have to add a $1000 outboard bracket to mount the OB on!!!! and in the end it seems the only up side would be room , and being able to run the boat in the winter regularly...( ie , no need to drain the inboard every trip!)

I have an islander with an inboard, and have thought about this a lot
