Morgan''''s

I believe Morgan''s, like many boats, were built in two lines of two different qualities. The Out Islander series was built for the charter trade. Generally they were built a bit cheaper and designed to be more comfortable down below. They tended to be slower and not have the stronger construction of the main line.

Morgan''s do have a very good reputation for being excellent sea boats and well built. One thing you might do to see if the boat is built to your liking is to go all the way forward in the cabin and open the access to the chain locker: see if you can tell how thick the glass is there (there will probably be no inner hull covering). Got to the lazerettes and look at the hull to deck joint. Go from there and of course have it surveyed. Any boat that old will have problems.

Assess your needs.

Good luck and enjoy.
