Hi, I am thinking about buying an Islandia. Can anyone tell me how they handle in rough water? Do you get wet?
Thanks.

Personally I have never driven an Islandia but I would imagine it would do better than the smaller models. I drove our 160 Speedster in rough water -- it didn't do to well but then again it was only 16.5 feet long. We have had our 180 Challenger in some pretty fair conditions -- it has done much better but it is also 18 feet.
I would have to assume that the Islandia would ride better than both of these boats because it is longer and wider but really I would suggest taking one out for a test drive so you can see if it meets your standards.

Hi
I have a 2008 Islandia. I use my at the local lakes and the Colorado River on windy chopping waters it handles well. 22ft boat you have a little more handle on those kind of waters.

xcI have an Islandia that I use in the Chesapeak Bay. It is a great boat. Much bette rthan a pontoon. I have had it in 2-3' seas and it's fine. Only get a little spray if your running fast. Very stable boat
