1976 Islander MKII Complete refit

I've spent the past 4 years bringing this boat back to life. She is finally ready to do some serious coastal cruising. I had plans to spend a few months at Catalina and the Channel Islands this summer and then head to Mexico in the fall. An opportunity came up to purchase another boat to start circumnavigating so I had to take it.

I've spent many many hours and quite a bit of money getting this boat back to where she deserves to be. I'm bummed I need to sell her now but that's just how the timing worked out. The following is list of some of the upgrades and features on the boat that I have added. There are a few cosmetic interior projects I didn't quite have time to finish and I also have all supplies needed to paint the entire hull which I'll include in the purchase. My slip at Driscoll MB is also available to be transferred as long as your application is accepted.

I'll be available from June 17th - July 1st to show the boat. Please reach out if you have any questions about the boat.
