My wife and I are looking for a first sail boat to introduce us to the pains and pleasures of sailing. I'm looking at a 1986 24 foot hunter sloop. My first concern is looking at the NADA pricing site, there isn't a 24 foot hunter listed in 1986. Does this boat really exist or is the owner calling it wrong? In any case, I went to the Marina and looked at it yesterday and it appeared to be in excellent shape. You probabably already know this, but it has an alcohol stove, porta potti, and single sink. For motoring, it's got a 9.9 Evinrude (outboard) with the hookup to charge the single battery in the boat. The interior was recently all redone and the bottom was repainted in 2001. It comes with a 90% mainsail in fair to good shape and a 135% jib (dumb question, what does the 90 and 135% mean... does it mean size?). It doesn't have a trailer but from comments in other forums and rethinking what I'd want the boat for, I think I'd just take over the moorage in the marina it is at now. I would have to put in a bilge (the hole is there but the old pump went out), a vhf radio, a compass, and whatever other essentials there are. It was listed for $5800 but just went down to $5400 and I bet I could get it for $5000 or maybe less... what do you all think. I'll try to post the picture, but if that doesn't work, you can check it out at the "related link" site.
