I don't have a resto but here is my 2011 Islander 221 on one of its first outings. I think I may have one of the last Islanders ever made, which is kind of sad.

I know you've had some troubles with it but you'd never know it there, she is awesome!

I love this boat and I've found it the perfect size. It is so easy to launch and get back on the trailer. And I do not have any 2ft itis!
I do have to send her back to the factory later this month for the repaint so I am already thinking of winterizing. We had a couple of mornings last week and it was only 7 degrees above freezing. Fall is already on the way.
Next year with a fully sorted boat will be very nice indeed. Only 10.4 hours so far. Hope to double that and get the first service done.
I am thinking about two additional speakers inside the cuddy. My little girl has made this her home on the water and with the porta pottie inside my fishing days do not involve taking her or my wife to shore for a bathroom break.
And the cuddy is great for her in the cool mornings.
Totally happy with my choice of boat.

That is one nice looking boat. I think it's pretty cool that you have one of the last ones. Glad to hear that you are enjoying it.

In the US, that's 44. Granted, it's probably four months before I'll see 44, but this is the Silicon Swamp.

Since declaring my project complete, I figured I would add a pic or 2 to this thread....

No fish this morning, but a good time anyway. The river is a great place to enjoy coffee and donuts

Re: The Official 2012 Starcraft on the Water Thread

Both your boats look real nice on the water, RH and Ricoman. Wednesday last week we hit -1 just before sun-up, the ditchs on the way to our perch fishing lake were white with frost.

Looking great RH! Nice to see it done and out in use!! Have a blast!

Re: The Official 2012 Starcraft on the Water Thread

Thanks guys! I'm really dreading the inevitable winter. Even though the snow is really good for my wallet, I'm hoping we have as mild a winter this year as last.

First time I've shot the fleet all at once:

Yes, that's a non-SC that snuck in there...
