Islander 36 Prices

This page has been established as a posting place for those interested in buying or selling an Islander 36 or other boats included in the Association.

We are occasionally asked about Islander prices. Prices vary a lot. There was an '83 or '84 asking $60,000, an '81 was listed for $49,500, though we've heard of hulls needing a lot of work for around $30,000 or even less. One boat that had been purchased after being underwater for a while went for $4,000 and one on the hard in Spain for a year went for $10,000.

Several have had complete make overs for $20,000 and up. So, people are willing to invest a good deal in Islanders. A typical survey replacement value new would be in the neighborhood of $125,000.

A lot depends on the year and the condition of the boat. A smart buyer will insist on a marine survey. If you haven't had one in a while, you might get one and that will help you a lot in knowing the relative condition and value of your boat. Gas vs diesel is not usually a major factor in pricing. The condition of the sails is probably more important than the number -- a boat in top racing condition would generally have a higher price, but there are also probably fewer buyers looking at Islanders as racing boats than cruising boats.

Our ground rules for this page are simple. All parties must provide their name and e-mail address, phone contact is highly encouraged. Sellers must be Association members, describe the boat, it's general condition, and location. We will post the listing, including the date of posting, and remove the listing in 3 months or if the transaction closes.

Buyers Looking for Boats or Equipment:

Wanted: Islander 36 #1 155% race Genoa

Hello,

I'm seeking an Islander 36 #1 155% race Genoa, they plug into my Pearson 34 perfectly and looking for another sail to try and race with. Last one was great until it imploded.

Wanted: Heavy, 1.5 oz, Spinnaker in good condition.

Tom and I are still wanting to replace the 1.5 oz spinnaker that blew up on the way to Vallejo.
We have repair estimates for the sail, but at 20 years old, it is better we find a sail a bit younger from another Islander 36 owner if one is available.

Thanks,

1983 Islander 36 Silver Shadow For Sale

Hello my I36 friends. I am reaching out to see if there is any interest in purchasing my 1983 I36 "Silver Shadow"?

She is a solid boat with several upgrades including new upholstery, Solar Panel and update electrical system, 3 Blade Max Prop and she comes with a Lectrsan system and wind generator ( not installed and still in the box).

Lines are led aft into the Hard Dodger cockpit area. She has a self tailing jib and also several additional sails in good condition including an asymmetrical spinnaker. Roller Furling as well.

She is dry and ready for the next adventure. I have put over $30k in improvements into this vessel. I will be hauling her out at KKMI Sausalito this month for a bottom job and survey if interested in taking a look.

She is not perfect and needs some TLC, but she is a very solid boat. I am going to sell her well below market value. Let me know if you have any questions. See pictures and contact info below.

Sails and Parts for Sale:

Monitor Wind Vane Self Steering

Used Monitor Self Steering Windvane

Almost looks like new. Lightly used. No dings, dents or rust. Comes with wheel steering attachment.

One of the top rated self steering systems. Complete with all parts. There is another set of upper arms for an unknown model also. If these don't work for you, you can order something specific for your model of boat. If you are outfitting your boat for offshore sailing, some kind of self steering equipment is pretty much mandatory.

My own plans have changed and I won't be needing this. These are over $5000 new.

Can ship to you if you pay the shipping from Missouri.
