Hi all,
I am a new Hunter 40.5 owner (1997) and I am curious as to the design of the keel. I was surprised to find the the bulb lead ballast was bolted below a 4 foot keel sump. It seems to me an interesting design. Has anyone had issues with this from a structural perspective? It looks like they changed the design on the 410/420 so I am wondering if they had issues and changed design. Any input from 40.5 owners would be great.
Thanks,
Glenn
