We are looking at purchasing a 1990 Hunter Legend 40. We currently have a 1980 C&C 30 (which we love!) but have decided it is time for something bigger, and more comfortable below. We are very impressed with the hull shape, deck profile, and cabin layout but are wondering about the shoal draft keel on the Hunter 40 we have looked at. Our boat has a swept-back fin keel so very different than the Hunter shoal draft keel. Can any one out there tell me about their experience with the Hunter Legend 40? How's the pointing ability? Is there much side slip with the shorter keel? Weather helm? Obviously, we will have a pre-purchase survey but just wondering if there are any particular known issues, or things that we should specifically be checking? Looking forward to your replies! Thanks.
