Larry,
She was built in the early to mid 80s. She is a skeg built lobster style hull. Much like Carey's boat ....very much if Carey's is not a built down hull. She has a very easy entry and soft chines. She was built in Maine by a small yard that usually built lobster boats. Dad would be on the phone every day during the construction tell'in them to make her more this or that .....usually heavier and more skookum as dad was fond of say'in. Paravanes yes. She's got all the bells and whistles of a propper troller right down to the Forfjord anchor. Islander is beamy and stable.
