Looking at a 43 hunter that does not currently have a generator. Broker said previous owner removed it after it 'crapped out'. Story given to us - It was 6kW and it was not running at peak efficiency, was too large for boat, and wore it out. When it died he removed it. It was a Northern Lights.
Love this boat, but with out a generator, seems we loose a lot of use of the 'extras' on board. Broker said to just get a slip and plug it in, but the idea of a boat this size is to be able to be on the hook, yet be able to use the creature comforts. Are we being told a tall story, or is 6kW too large for this size boat. Seems to be the standard that Hunter installed for the 43.What would the proper size be?
Is Northern lights one that has issues, as I see newer models are sporting the Panda? To buy one to put back in adds a lot of cost to t he boat, and puts her cost above newer models.
