if your looking for something more subjective.. islander/wayfarer made STOUT boats.. i have an islander 29, and it has a 1/2" hand laid
fiberglass hull. i know the 24, 29/30 flushdeck, 32, and 34 are all relatively the same vintage. cutaway forefoot, typical large main (by todays standards). i am going
bluewater cruising in mine, a friend has a sistership and that
boat is a horn'er.
