Am looking at a 1980 Hunter 30. In pretty good shape but has been dry for the last 2 years or more due to owners health. Dealer tells me the engine has low compression but they put some stuff in it and it seems ok. Hull looks good but they have just replaced the propeller shaft and bracket. Seems to be well done and was done professionally. Any insight into this model/year would be appreciated, good, bad or ugly...... What ought I be paying particular attention to? For example, I know the Person 26 had an issue with the rudder bushings and when I bought one of those I looked hard at her rudder.... Any common issues with a 1980 Hunter 30? BTW, anyone in the Ithaca area looking for a terrific 1974 Pearson 26 in excellent condition please let me know.....
Thanks in advance.
