If fast and light is part of your recipe for fishing, then the Island Runner 31 demands a close look. Increasingly, getting to the fishing grounds in a hurry is something anglers take seriously, and this is a boat that's hard to hold back.
Our test day off Palm Beach was a tough one. Waves with shoulders jostled for position off the beach, but our boat cleaved them clean and dry, just about what you'd expect from a 31-foot hull with an 8 1/2-foot beam and a 60-degree entry. It slices rough water like a wahoo on a mono leader. Length combined with ex-ceptionally light weight keeps this boat on top.
The basic 31 has been in production since the early '90s, but the lay-up and design recently underwent a complete overhaul. Materials and methods of construction have been thoroughly revamped in this latest incarnation.
The hull is vacuum-bagged Core-Cell over hand-laid, knitted fiberglass, completely wood-free. There's half an inch of foam on the sides, an inch on the bottom and 1 1/2 inches at the transom, all of it laid up with structural adhesive putty pulled through the foam under vacuum, which yields an exceptional combination of light weight and strength.
