Dang , that's exactly what I was wanting to wind up with. Hard to beat 2000 for a running Islander of that year. Too bad I'm on the West Coast right now .

What's with people not selling the trailer with a 25' boat? Not an easy sell to begin with only a special few would want to take on that size project.

I have seen this boat. Might buy it but finding a trailer for this size is a problem. Most that I have found are only good up to 20 ft.
Might be a bit too sketchy for even a redneck like me to drag down the 400 with that much hanging off the back.

I thought about looking at it but researched them a little. I want a large boat to weekend/travel in and also to do some Great Lakes salmon fishing but I dont think oit will do either of those things particularily well (for me anyway. For all I know, there may not be anything in my budget that ever will)

I wonder what the fate of this boat will be. Its a neat classic boat.

For your big boat - how trailerable does it need to be? I don't know that going a bit bigger is necessarily cost-prohibitive in itself, but anything bigger starts to really amp up the overall logistics of ownership. I'm sorta in a similar spot. I can see space in my fleet for something smaller and for something bigger. But the sweet spot between "big boat" and "logistics of owning" is a tight one.

That’s the thing. I can tow the Chieftain. I can keep it in inexpensive storage. But I want a boat that I can fish salmon, trout and maybe even pickerel in (big water) but I also want a boat to do long river trips in. This boat does not have ample fish fighting room and the cabin is a comfy as a tent trailer.
I hate to admit it, but I think a big glass cruiser with nice living quarters inside and out fits both worlds better. Not perfect, but better. The trade off is fuel, marina fees and overall investment.

So basically a bigger boat (living quarter furnishings can always be tweaked).

If you want a large aluminum boat, check out Marinettes.
