Boat value and Risk. (Just my opinion) All boats have some risk and some value. When owning boats (sail or power) I learned an important lesson for internal happiness. Get a good quality ledger book for costs, just don't quite let the pencil actually touch the paper. It seems people who...

Hello all, We're considering buying this boat for long term cruising in Mexico and the Caribbean. I would like to know if the storage in the aft cabin has been improved from previous years models? We looked at a 2005 but we felt there was no room for clothing at all. We haven't been aboard...

Hi! I am looking to purchase my first sailboat and a Hunter 30' from 1978 just recently caught my eye. However, I grew up on a Catalina 25' and am not too familiar with this model and was hopeful to get your insights into any thoughts/suggestions/issues that I should be aware of before I make...

Since I bought my 2000 Hunter 460 I have tried to find a PDF Owners Manual Online and have asked Hunter for one several times, but no one seemed to be able to find it. I was able to find the PDF version of the Hunter 46.6 online, but it's a different boat. Finally, I was able to talk to the...

Hi all, I'm relatively new to sailing, and have inherited a 216 from about 2008. I've noticed that when I lower the centerboard, there is no way to 'secure' or 'lock' it into the down position. That's fine, since the centerboard weighs about 500lbs, but when I'm sailing through waves, I hear...

Just purchased a 1980 Hunter 25; am fixing some odds and ends and gearing up for maiden voyage. I have a question regarding the bilge. It has a small bilge area in the cabin accessed by two wood panels; there is no pump on this boat (and from the old schematics it didnt come with one from the...

I'm overhauling the sanitation system in my Hunter P42. The original lines running from the old Jabsco toilet to the holding tank are 1 in lines. I understand from reading many forum posts that 1 1/2 in lines are common in sanitation systems. And, the line from the holding tank to the...

I have a 2000 Hunter 460 weight all Chain Rode and Anchor. Has anyone moved their rode out of the very forward chain locker or have another solution to all that weight forward that may contribute to hobbyhorsing,,,except going to rope and chain rode which may lower the forward weight?

I found this information interesting and perhaps useful for many. I post it and it sources in which I am not affiliated with either, but the PDF has the provider and the source of the Data. Jim...

Hello All! Anybody know what size bimini to use for my 1982 Hunter 36/SL? I would like to mount on coamings (as opposed to rail). The SBO store doesn't seem to carry a precut version, so I may have to modify some other model to fit. I realize biminis are sort of complicated, but hoping a H x W...

Hello, I'm looking to see if anyone else has had this problem. I see the Edson rebuild kit online but not sure if that is the right kit brings Hunter made the pedestal. I can move my wheel up and down at least 1/4in in all directions and my auto pilot move with the wheel. I was talking to a guy...
