Upgrades Have Included But Are Not Limited To The Following And Where Our Experienced Vendor Has Sought Professional Experience And Extertise He Has Used Some Of Australia's Finest Tradesmen Relected in The Quality Workmanship Throughout.

***** The 5LW Gardner Has Just Been Rebuilt By The Bryants, A Brand New Gearbox Was Also Fitted At The Time With Only 40 Hours Being Logged Since The Rebuild.

Great Allround Views From The Wheelhouse/Galley/Lounge Area Are Afforded To Those Who Choose To Be Inside. A nice Comfortable Dining Table Close To The Galley And Helm Allows Good Social Interaction While Underway Or In A Secluded Anchorage.

Access To Both The Engineroom And Large Storage Compartment Are Through Flush Hatches In The Wheelhouse Floor.

Currently There Are Numerous Other Timber Boats On The Market That Require Vast Amounts Of Repairs/Maintenance And Money Just To Keep Them Afloat, Many Held By People Who Do Not Understand Or Just Do Not Care, "Island Girl" Is Not One Of Them, She Has Been Meticulously Cared And Upgraded For By A Loving Family Ownership Of More Than 27 Years, This Is Further Confirmed By A Recent Survey.

A Full Out Of Water Survey Was Conducted During The Listing Process And Is Available To Genuinely Interested Parties Upon Request.

The "KIS" Theory Was Used When This Boat Was Designed, Built, Upgraded And Subsequently Used, I am Confident "Island Girl" Will Still Be Plying East Coast Waters When Many Of The Current Builds Are Long Gone.
