Hunter 22

[Hunt22]

I am looking at purchasing a Hunter 22ft boat and I was wondering how tall the keel is (how much clearance you need on a trailer). I am new to this so I'm sorry if there is another sailing term out there that could describe what I am looking for. I hope to get into sailing soon but I also would like to know a good sailboat transport company if a trailer is too hard to find. The boat would be coming out of Missouri and into Arkansas but again I'm completely new to this! Also what would it take bottom paint wise for a Hunter 22?

Thanks,
Hunt22

If you look in "Boat Info" at H22 pictures you can see some on trailers I think. Not sure because that is not an option here on the tablet app. Also the ads in "SailingTexas" and YachtWorld will have pictures. The H22 is a swing keel boat and rides low on the trailer. My old C22 trailer would work for example, the kind with the long longitudinal bunks.

This boat actually has a fixed keel do (1984) and the info was on a swing keel equipped boat (1982-1983). It might have been an option in 84 but all I know is that this 22 has the fixed keel.

Thanks! The teak floorboards in the cabin of this boat (the living room or again I'm not sure if there is a sailing term for it) have been removed so what's the best way to put a real floorboard back in it?
