hunter 49 engine size
- Thread starter carefree
- Start date
Go with the 110
It also had an upgraded alternator.
As well, the mariner package had lots of other upgrades.
Essentially, if you are buying a 75hp 49, you are also missing out on some other nice goodies, like Bose sound system, etcetera.

Btw
I would highly reccomend the in mast furling.
Lots of things to verify, such as prop, battery installation, type of charger, etc.
Great boat. Good luck!
There are many other things you should be considering if you are looking at a 49.

There are a number available
I know that our 110 hp pushes the boat along quite well. We have a 4 blade variprop. A feathering prop is essential on this boat
The "goodies" you speak of are probably items you could typically upgrade or install on a boat. An engine isn't one of them

Off shore I would rather have a 75 instead of the 100 I have now. With the turbo I have to clean it if running at low RPM's instead of running slow on a 75. However in the inside passage to Alaska the additional power and not running the sails helps quite a bit. It would depend on how you use the aux power.
Speed
I highly recommend the 4 blade vari prop.
My buddy with a 49 had the Gori prop with "overdrive"
Created huge problems, and he finally junked it. If you look online, people aren't very happy With the Gori for the same reason
When you get your 49, I'll give you a list of neat fixes & upgrades.
Terrific boat.
Btw, buy one that has the genoa tracks installed on the deck.
The self tacking foresail is somewhat under powered, and if you want to do distances, you'll want a full genoa.
We easily get 8-9 knots with moderate rpm, and in any kind of sea condition.

Autostream not big enough
According to the data I found, it isn't available in 4 blade, and has a top rating of 80 hp
I would go with either Max prop or Vari.
I have the Vari, as do many 49 owners.
I know a dealer who gives excellent prices, and is a very reliable guy.
Really important to go with in mast furling on the 49.
It makes the boat super easy to handle
Look at things such as what charger / inverter is installed
If it is Xantrex, you are in for a replacement.
The 49 is a well built boat. But lots of things to consider
The autostream is a nice prop, but not suitable for the 49

I have no smell in aft. I am also the guy who made an artificial reef out of my Gori prop. Go with 4 blade vari prop. I hope you buy a 49. It's fantastic and have not found a similar sized production boat I would trade for. Been cruising caribbean on one for 2 years.
