Hey guys let me know what you think about this boat and IP's in general. Is there a boat in this class you'd prefer over an Island Packet?

[@theabsolutetruth2024]

Hello sir. Just out of curiosity, are you a licensed captain yourself?

[@HarborPilotYachtTours]

@@theabsolutetruth2024 I had a liscense but never used it.

[@LiberaceProtege]

Absolutely Nauticat and/or Fisher. Also Hunter, as they were the closest competitor to IP. Personally I'd prefer a same size Nauticat from the 80s or 90s that's been repowered, refurbished etc and sells for $60K to $80K before a slightly newer Island Packet at $200K. But hey that's just me. This one's asking price is extremely optimistic in today's used boat market, especially in Florida with all that's been happening in that business there recently.

[@WOOD-BOOGER-lc4fl]

She's a stunner ❤❤

[@BigDreamsBoating]

Well built for sure and seems maintained. My only complaint is access on an off boat both at dock or on the water.

[@corvavw6447]

This a real boat for ocean sailing ❤❤🎉😊

[@seanhanlon5867]

Thats a beauty of a boat, i dred to think what the value is 👊🏻👏🏻

[@philo5096]

Gorgeous boat, only 2 drawbacks. They are slow and very expensive, but quality always is.

[@deerfootnz]

Quality is always slow?

[@1sealife11]

Wind 20 kn. Boat speed 8,2 kn. ( Irish sea in 04/2024)

[@richardhudak4571]

NICE N EXPENSIVE

[@esa4aus]

Love to such a well thought out boat

[@icelandviking1961]

That fire extinguisher sign at the engine room is a port the spray the fire extinguisher in if there is a fire in the engine room.

[@user-zd3zi6lk2x]

She's a big pretty girl ! ! I'm not sure if I heard what size the tanks are or how many hours are on the engine ? I know she's a IP but still seems a bit "spendy" . Thanks for the Great walk-thru video 👍😎

[@HarborPilotYachtTours]

Thanks for commenting

[@user-mt4xe6zg1e]

Nice boat,too small for me to live on but still a beautiful

[@dougfaulkner6799]

The boat i prefer at this range would be a Shannon.

[@HarborPilotYachtTours]

Thanks I’ll have to so if there’s any in my area to tour.

[@williamwiese9963]

I need one soon

[@runeshadow]

Nice carpentry on this boat

[@HikerBikerMoter]

It doesnt have the 4:1 ration (beam to length) i read about a lot that ensure greater speed- storm sturdy but slow

[@MarcusSchmiedehausen]

Great 👍

[@Simpleman88]

I could live on that

[@IronLady-ej3dp]

IP are true full keel yachts and the aft facing nav station with no back is not a good idea.

[@SOLDOZER]

That area in the cockpit in not a "cooler". Its another propane locker.

[@Janespony]

Not really designed for propane though canisters fit there well. It is a perfect fit for a 2 1/2 gallon gasoline tank for your dingy. It has an overboard vent for spilled fuel. So, it’s a great multipurpose hatch. A cooler for drinks, a place to put your fuel tank, or a location to store propane canisters. I store my boat soap and brushes and cleaning materials there.

[@timlaughlin6860]

Dang great deal!!

[@RussellRICHARDSON-bo6cg]

I built that boat. Check the chain plates.

[@Metal_Auditor]

I thought that was only a problem on their 1998 and earlier models. Since this is a 2001, shouldn’t they be fine?

[@beorbeorian150]

Great condition boat. Worth saving and paying once instead of spending a year and endless $$$ fixing one.

[@HarborPilotYachtTours]

Right. No such thing as a cheap boat

[@bruceweber2361]

Aw man, if I only had the dough.

[@lifeyeehhhh9437]

DREAM, DREAM, DREAM, DREEEEEAM, DREAM, DREAM, DREAM, DREEEADREAM.

[@blacktootherson]

Goddamn that’s nice

[@jeffadams7134]

Very well built boats. Quality finish.
Not pretty, and not good sailers!

[@deerfootnz]

Seems to me that the first job of a sailing boat is to sail well. So no fat heavy IP for me with it's 19th century hydrodynamics.
