This 1996 Grady-White Islander 268 is a 26-foot fiberglass walkaround with a 2016 Mercury 350 hp Verado engine. Weighing 4,200 pounds without power and fuel, the boat combines trailerable size with substantial cruising capability. The hull features Grady-White's three-piece foam-filled construction—hull, inner liner, and through-bolted deck—designed for durability and to accommodate integrated features like insulated fish boxes and electronics housings.
The layout centers on a 57-square-foot aft cockpit equipped with more than 300 quarts of insulated storage across three boxes: a 186-quart starboard unit and a divided portside setup for beverages and catch. The stern area includes a molded bench seat, a drop-in livewell box, and a transom door leading to a swim platform with a stainless steel ladder. The helm station features a seat with a lockable electronics box and adjacent dry storage, while a portside bench seat converts for rough-water use. Rod racks, cockpit toe rails, and oversized hardware support fishing work, and a full 28-inch interior cockpit depth with non-skid walkaround adds safety.
Below deck, the cabin offers forward V-berths with a convertible table that lowers to a double berth, a head enclosure, and a full galley with butane stove and refrigerator. A 32-gallon pressurized water system serves both galley and head sinks. Standard fuel capacity is 150 gallons, expandable to 206 gallons with an optional auxiliary tank. Hydraulic trim tabs and hydraulic steering are standard. The boat accepts either single or dual outboards without transom modification.
