Does Hunter 26 lack the front hatch of Hunter 260?

Does Hunter 26 lack the front hatch of Hunter 260? Does it just have window in its place or just nothing. From my Ericson 25 also without a front hatch that seems likely to make boat warm. Is the main hatch the only big hole into boat, that seems bad for airflow. I am stuck in my stuffy Ericson till I find a cheap Hunter (or my dreamboat the Jarcat 6 from Australia). . . A

My H26 had a front hatch. The middle portion of the window opens

One of my recommendations for the Hunter 260 was a forward hatch in the foredeck besides wheel steering and a better entryway in and out of the cockpit. Otherwise the 260 and the 26 are the same. Former Hunter dealer
