Selling my 2000 Baja 232 Islander Bowrider. The boat is in excellent shape for its age. The gel coat is in amazing shape. Fun boat to drive, handles 2-3’ chop excellent, runs out amazingly and sounds great. Looks fast just sitting on the trailer. Very low hours on engine. Shop kept its entire life. 2nd owner. Routinely get compliments about the boat at the ramp. Ready to have fun!
