                            The Islamorada 18 Advantage Edition. It's anything but watered down.

                            Picture
                            You spoke, we listened. With a tweak here and a modification there, we're now able to offer the Islamorada 18 at a remarkable price. And, yes, Doubting Thomas – the Islamorada Advantage Edition features the same proprietary composite construction, bone-dry ride, absolute stealth, shallow draft and remarkable poling characteristics as the Islamorada Performance Edition and Legacy, yet it's priced considerably less than some competitive models. 
                            Standard Features
