1987 Island Packet 31

This Island Packet 31 is priced well below market – she’s actually worth thousands more but the owner wants a fast sale. With her wide beam and solid construction, “Dolly” offers the stable sailing experience for which Island Packets are best known. She features a solid glass hull and a full foil keel with over 4,000 pounds of ballast. The result is a steady ride in almost any weather.
Her ample decks are synthetically cored and solid. Dolly features a reliable 27hp Yanmar diesel that won’t let you down when the wind stops blowing. Interior design is surprisingly roomy with features you’d expect on a larger vessel. She can comfortably sleep four and features a galley, a head, and a salon with an L-shaped settee on the starboard side and separate seating portside. A drop-down table can accommodate multiple dinner guests. Recent upgrades include a new water tank, updated GPS and a new transducer. Don’t miss out on this one – “Dolly” is a wonderful boat for couples who want to take a cruise or for family outings.
