Hi I'm about to buy a Hunter 30 -1980 - that has a tiller rather than a pedistel wheel config. Where many manuf. that way ?
thanks BC

Not to many made. Be sure that you want a tiller before you buy. It is not cheap to change it to wheel steering later.

The tiller tends to be a PIA when you have a few people in the cockpit. If you end up wanting an autopilot it may become a major issue too.

That's a new one on me. I had no idea they even had an option for a tiller on the H30. Maybe a PO ripped out the pedestal and rigged up his emergency tiller instead. Like Steve said, be sure you like the tiller first.....the swing takes up a lot of cockpit space. Plus, if you decide to ever sell, it may be a negative.

It looks like a factory job. Can't see any evidence of filled holes etc.
I've been looking at images of H30's and I don't see another like it.
A mystery? BC

Can you post some pics. As an owner of a '77 Hunter 30' with a wheel - I know I would love to see a few pics. I'm sure everyone would also.
