    Just bought one yesterday.  When I get back from Watertown with it, you can come check it out.  Same year you are asking about.

    Did you check your PMs Greenhead?
    Just messing with you.  Wasn't the one I was talking about anyways.
     
    This is the one I saw.
    http://www.lakeontariounited.com/fishing-hunting/topic/37107-for-sale-1995-starcraft-islander-191-low-hours-sold/ but it was sold and it was a '95.  Looked nice too.
     
    Haven't been on an Islander that small but I have fished on older 21' to 26' versions.  Up front is essentially the same and the cockpit area gains more room the bigger you go on length.
    Should be enough gunnel space and transom space to run 12 lines for trolling (2 riggers, 4 dipsies and 6 planers) with the right rod holder set-up.   I'd suggest a long, telescoping handle net to get the fish.  I think the gunnels are fairly high and if you take the jump seats out, you'll have a pretty good reach with a shorter handle net.  
     
    It will handle the rough chop but beat you up a little since it is so light, but, it will be easy to trailer. 
     
    That looked like a nice boat, by the way.
     
    Are you thinking of buying before the spring?  Always a good idea to sea trial boats and put them through their paces before you buy.
