actually I think many of those older Islanders can be found for free... I got mine like that...but you know nothing is FREE....cost me $750 and about 10 hours of labor just to get home!! a lot of those boats have been sitting... they get pulled for the fall... and just never make it back to the water and 15 years later the people are moving and the boat need to go ASAP......it is especially true for older fiberglass...but happens on aluminum boats too..... the trick is finding one that is sitting on a trailer that can make the trip to your house...without falling apart and or causing you to get sued, when parts start falling off and damaging other peoples vehicles on the road!! I just picked up a totally ratted out starcraft and I worried about getting it home. the sellers always says....JUST, do this or JUST do that....yeah...its not you they will be sueing!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!...good luck
