Ahoy there! I'd love to have a tour of your boat if you live in the southern part of the Chesapeake Bay and own a 37.5/376/380. I'd like to check one out in person before I start tracking down for sale boats. I think it's also better to get a chance to talk with an actual owner vs a broker.

I'd be much appreciative and I can bring food/beer/etc. if you want! I live on my sailboat now in Norfolk, Va.

Thanks
~Steve

Hunter 420 Herrington Harbor South
May not be much help but my 386 is at Harrington Harbour South. A bit North of you but she is still in the water.

Maybe after the holiday hooplah is over with and everything calms down I'll take you up on your offer! If I'm going to MD I might contact a couple boats for sale and make a weekend out of it :) What are the big differences between the boats I'm looking at vs the 386? I don't think I've run into one for sale.

Thanks!

Newer is better.......... 37.5 is a different design than 376/380. Go to Deltaville after the holidays..

Concur with Velero49 Deltaville is closer and has many Hunters of all sizes. 386 is pretty much the same as a 380.

True. I included all 3 because (at least in the pictures) they have a similar layout that would be great for living aboard and have the sugar scoop transom I want in my next boat.

37.5 has a smaller cockpit, but most seem to have some kind of refitting done and are in the lower end of my price range. Nearly all have full batten mains which I'm looking for.

376 has the nicer cockpit, some have standard mains, some upgrades in the mid to upper end of my price range.

380 have nearly all furling mains which I don't really want. Most in the upper to just outside my price range (low ball offers?) seem to still be original and in need of a refit. I assume the 386 would be similar.

I'll go troll the Deltaville docks after the holidays. If anyone local wants to give me a tour, I'd appreciate it! Else I'll just creepily stare at your boat from the finger pier ;)
