Well it happened.. I’m back in the game

Well boys I pulled the pin on another boat, picked it up last week, when the wife and I went up north (vanderhoof) to pickup the kids.

It’s not an aluminum but for the price couldn’t pass it up for some temp fishing relief!? lol

It’s a 1998 islander 17.5 fiberglass boat 2 owner, with a 1999 90hp Johnson and a 2hp Honda 4 stroke, which I’ll be selling off here shortly. Top and windows and slop back are in amazing shape, hull is tight and very sturdy! Was able to get it off a family member that had it for 7 yrs, and bought it off his buddy in the shu.

I’m in the process of adding electric riggers, hds 7 and cleaning up the hull outside, along with a 8hp kicker.

Quick check shows them made by Molded Fiberglass Industries in Orlando Florida from 1992 to 1996
Not much other history available

Almost positive they where local Surrey boat, small shop on Fraser highway in the 90s

Nice to get a boat off someone you know and trust! My family is from Vanderhoof but not everyone from there is bad!

Oh man. 1975, I bought a 15'6" Islander off an older fellow in Deep Bay. Love that little boat. Hauled to Toquart Bay many times. Poet Nook many times. Telegraph Cove and Fair Harbour a few times. Many trips to Pt. Renfrew. Lots of km's on gravel road. Tough little boat. Never saw many of them around, but everybody that owned one loved them. First time I have seen a 17. Nice to have the extra length. Nice find.
