Rusty,
I used to have an Islander 28 and 36 and sailed both up in your area in Barnegat Bay for years.... Dillons Creek marina. The Islanders 28 and 36, both a good strong cruiser/ racers. We built old world teak, straightforward design. Keel bolts were are problem in early 70;s. Tend to have tall masts and large sail area and therefore easily overwoered and tender due to shoal draft. Coastal crusing...yes...long range..better designs too look at. The tended to be underpoweered also.
