Differences, Hunter 260

[RolfSail]

I’m looking to buy a Hunter 260. Some are older, 1994,1995. One or two are 2004 or 03s. Are there significant differences?

I have a 1995 but mine is a 26 not a 260. The two use the same hull but the liner is a bit different and there are a few other changes.

Hunter 26 vs Hunter 260 Comparison

I have seen several 26's advertised as 260's recently, including one in WI. Not sure if this is intentional or not, since the 260's sell for a significantly higher price. The downturned, "sugar scoop" stern on the 260 is an easy way to tell them apart. The 260 also has permanent fixed struts on the mast to aid in raising.
