Grady-White Islander 268

NEW LISTING AT OUR KENT ISLAND OFFICE. THIS BOAT HAS A 2016 MERCURY 350hp VERADO REPOWER. CALL THE LISTING BROKER FOR MORE DETAILS. 

At 4200 pounds without engines or fuel, the Grady-White Islander 268 is a big, trailerable, foam-filled, self-bailing bruiser with all the amenities of a cruiser for comfortable weekend excursions. With a 28-inch interior cockpit depth, a full transom and non-skid walkaround, safety is assured. Hardcore offshore anglers will appreciate features like horizontal rod racks and cockpit toe rails, oversized through-bolted hardware and loads of tackle storage. The helm area has a helm seat and a lockable electronics box. Portside there's a bench which converts to a single forward-facing seat for rough water passages. Under both the bench and helm seats are large and lockable dry storage areas. In the 57-square-foot aft cockpit, there are more than 300 quarts of insulated boxes with overboard drains. The starboard box has a 186-quart capacity and the portside box is divided into a smaller one for soft drinks and a larger one for the catch. Custom cushions add extra seating on top of the raised fish boxes. In the stern area, there is a molded-in bench seat, a drop-in box that can be plumbed as a livewell, and a transom door that leads to the swim platform. That platform has a standard stainless steel ladder molded flush with the platform surface when folded away. The cabin has forward V-berths, a head enclosure and a full galley complete with butane stove and refrigerator. A table between the two berths lowers to form a double berth and stows conveniently in a special compartment in the underberth storage area. A pressurized water system with sinks at the galley and in the head has a capacity of 32 gallon. Like most other Grady-Whites, the 268 is a three-piece boat consisting of a foam-filled hull, an inner liner fiberglassed to the tops of the stringer system, and a deck which is through-bolted to the inner liner. This three-piece construction allows the flexibility to build in features like fish boxes and electronics housings. The Islander 268 has a standard fuel tank of 150 gallons, while an optional auxiliary tank raises total fuel capacity to 206 gallons for extended fishing or cruising excursions. The Islander can be powered by either single or dual outboards without transom modification. Single outboards with a shaft length of 30 inches can be mounted in the center, or dual outboards with 25-inch shafts can be mounted on 28-inch centers. Hydraulic trim tabs and hydraulic steering are standard.
