Probably in the minority here, but to me, an ideal island boat would have a ton of deck space, few amenities (like fancy seating and carpet) to worry about, a VERY seaworthy hull, some weather protection, a self bailing cockpit and a newer outboard engine. After a few weeks of exploring the lake and realizing it's really not that big, the boat will become almost nothing more than a commuter vehicle to get to and from your island home, so why make it complicated? You'll have plenty of maintenance to do at the camp...
