    2005 Starcraft Islander 191

    I bought an Islander. Correction, my wife bought an Islander. I refused to hear the lies the used boat dealer was going to tell me so I sent her to buy it. $16,000 Yes, that's a lot. If you can find one cheaper near Seattle you are better shopper than me. There aren't many this new for sale...
