6'3" headroom across sources; big cockpit, easy deck.
Two examples listed in San Diego the same day, so there is choice.
The bad
20 gal of fuel and 55 of water: a jerry-can boat for a solo crossing.
Spade rudder and a deep 6.8 ft keel.
Early hulls carried an Atomic 4 gasoline engine; find out which this is.
The honest take
Same logic as the Islander 36, on a slightly bigger S&S hull. Light, quick, manageable, and thin on tankage. A good boat for a fast crossing with a careful water plan.
The Pact
We'll always be honest about gear. The good and the bad.
Most reviews you read only tell you what's great about a product. Ours tell you what's wrong with it too — where it fails, who shouldn't buy it, and when the cheaper option is the smarter one.
Every verdict comes from actually fishing the gear, not reading a spec sheet. When we get it wrong, the correction runs as loud as the original take.
The good and the badWe tell you what's wrong with a product, not just what's right.
Real water, real testingVerdicts come from actually fishing it — not a press release.
Argue with usEvery take is open for fire — here, Facebook, Instagram, YouTube. We read all of it.
