I'm looking for a 232, 252, or 272 islander. Trying to find one with a 496 HO or 502. Trying to stay under $25k. Would prefer 252 or 272, but would go with 232 if the deal was right. If anyone know of one please email me at [email protected] or text info to 419-612-5185.

what about a 27ft Fountain Fever ?

Are you looking for an Islander (open bow) or Performance (Closed bow)?

I'm looking for an open bow. The Baja Islander seams to be to only open bow out there that had a 496 or 502 from the factory. If you guys know of any other boats that do I am open to those has well. Just having a tuff time finding one.

I know its over your target price by a lot, but I really haven't seen many 232's with BBs. My 232 cuddy with a 6.2 runs 56 GPS. 75 is a lot to ask for a stock BB islander... as far as I've gathered anyway.

Food for thought: Steve's 232 islander with 320 hp 454 mpi, tops out at 59 mph.

75 mph is going to need a ton of power (My guess in the 525+ HP range) to even attempt a 75 mph run. Plus it would be mandatory hydraulic steering, witch I have never seen on a islander.

I'm possibly trading for a 2001 252 w/ a 496, fresh water boat next weekend.

60mph on an Islander yes, 75mph doubt it.

buddy just sold ( 3 weeks ago ) his 232 islander that ran 73 on a hand held gps with a slightly warmed over 502 with a carb

Doesn't have to run 75. I guess I should have said looking for 60 plus MPH.
