I have been doing research on our latest purchase and discovered that production for Islander Yachts was moved to Costa Rica in 1984 (to save money), the company then went out of business in 1986. Being that our boat was delivered in 1985 I would assume that it was an Islander 28 manufactured in Costa Rica? Any thoughts on how the place of manufacture can be verfied? I suppose a 28' boat built in Costa Rica in 1985 would come to the U.S. via freighter? I thought ours was made in Costa Mesa, CA and delivered to the original owner in Buffalo. I have since traced the port of delivery to Cleveland instead.
