There is a 2003 Hunter 260 w/ Trailer ( I am not a Trailer Sailor) available in our area for sale (Northwest Coast of Florida ) that has a
Water Ballast modified, filled with 1900 lbs. of concrete versus the 2,000 lbs. of water that the boat was designed to hold.
I am new to Water Ballast only because we live in a low tide shallow water passage to the Gulf, making anything more than 30" Draft an issue . So I need to consider the 260 or Catalina 250. Catalina 250's are very difficult to find, regardless of the year.
End of the day....................should I be concerned about this "Concrete Sled" rendition of a Hunter 260 WB for sale in our area?
