Hello All. I am in the process of purchasing a 2008 Hunter 38. The boat is fully equipped, however, a previous owner removed the cockpit table so they could secure scuba tanks to the table frame. I'd like to replace the table top but have not been able to find them. Does anyone on this site know where or how to obtain one? I've looked several times at the Hunter Owners site, but to no avail.

Uh, how about a stanchion mounted swivelin' Johnson bullseye fairlead?
I may also purchase a Smartplug and recepticle...
Hope you enjoy the 2008 38 as much as we do ours.
Ours was a dealer demo that we purchased new in 2009.
Love the boat. We have made some modifications, a few repairs and some upgrades but overall the basic boat has served us extremely well.
Any time you are looking for a part and don't see it on this site drop the SBO folks a note. They are so resourceful and extremely helpful.
Hunter replacement stanchions
From current Marlow-Hunter boats to the classic cherubinis of the 80s, we have most stanchions and bases available, many of them in stock for quick shipment.

I have been on the hunt for this product to make an additional table for my H356. It is called Starboard made by King:

I am retired from the industry and have stated that on occasion giving my time to help other sailors. No one really know how much time I spend on the phone, here on this site, spending time to research, travel often out of state helping others with their boats and so on giving back to the community along with the other volunteer work I do. So Joe, heck no I am not going back into business and at 67 I have other interests for example working on model train engines and boy that can be cumbersome at times in n scale.
You should see me pulling steam locomotives apart cleaning or tweaking or install dcc wth sound. Brass is hard having to fabricate parts
Come on, G-scale is the bomb. Haven't set up the HO trains in years, but the Gs come out every Christmas. Always fun.
Had an N set on a 4x8 for a while, but they were ridiculous to keep running. My original HO layout at my parent's house was awesome, but it took up so much room, that we sold it with the house when they moved, (kept the trains). We had it suspended with cables and pulleys from the garage ceiling, so we could hoist it up, and still use the garage. Started building it when I was about 6 with my dad. We added to it every year until I left home. I was sad to see it go when they moved, but my brother and I both didn't have room for it where we each lived at the time. My kids grew up playing with the Gs every winter, but no permanent layout.
I need to go through my Moms photo albums and find and scan pictures of the old HO layout as it progressed. But then I also need to scan all of the sailing picks I have with my Dad on his Columbia 22 (The Moonlighter).
I know this post is off topic but it is bringing back too many memories.
As a kid, I started collecting and planning a big HO scale railroad project at about the same time my family sold the house and moved onto a boat.
My father had a friend who was an mature

My father had a friend who was an amateur astronomer. He had a cemented base with a tracker built into his backyard. When I wanted to build a telescope from PVC for the science fair, we went to his house for the lenses.
I spent more time admiring his model railroad setup, a whole town around a harbor with a drawbridge. A tugboat with rippling wake molded into the colored glass water. The whole thing was around 10' x 10' in his closed-in patio.
That's when I decided to copy him and build my own 8'x8' HO scale diorama.
I started collecting my first train and extra track. Got magazines with ideas for making miniature foliage and paper mache mountains, had light-up buildings ... , then we moved onto a boat and all I had was a set of 4 cubby holes at the head of my bunk to store them in. What space wasn't taken up with model trains was filled with 1/32nd scale WWII army models. I remember using a steak knife and our gas galley stove to cut the soldiers up and reglue them into new positions, melting a row of machine gun bullet dents into the side of the half-track and reading about how to weather my models with dry-brush painting.
I also built fighter planes. I was a mustang fan while my brother loved the corsair. Hung a whole dogfight scene with about 8 different planes from the ceiling of my grandmothers guest room, cotton smoke trailing behind the enemy planes.
Oh, the memories.

Hi Tom, different model boat here, but built a new folding teak cockpit table for our similar boat many years ago. If I were to do it again I would go with the white Starboard material. Just looks cleaner and nicer. But until then the one I made serves us quite nicely. https://hunter.sailboatowners.com/mods.php?task=article&mid=45&aid=7553&mn=42
Here is a picture of the table my dad built for us. I had the teak and he had the skills & time:
...and here it is in use:
