even timing belt settings.

Sportsman Island Reef 19.THE VERDICT
Undoubtedly, it’s a case of more
boat for less dollars. As more of an
entry level Sportsman, the Island
Reef 19 is kept simple with limited
bells and whistles within the layout.
Regardless, the standard features
included are more than enough to
get you on the water.
Maintaining simplicity certainly
keeps the price down with this
package and as tested, with a few
extras, you are looking at $59,598.
In my opinion, that’s good value
considering the hull size, standard
inclusions, quality of build, Yamaha
F115 four-stroke outboard, and
awesome dual-axle alloy trailer.“As more of an entry level Sportsman,
