Hunter 29.5 Panama City, FL
I bought a 1994 Hunter 29.5, its 2.5 hours away and I have few questions for you folks.
Where all the Yanmar 2GM20F engines put in the Hunter 29.5 models YEU versions or not? I know its serial number dependent. Wish I had my serial number.

Why do some Hunter 29.5's have 4 ports on each side and some have 3? Mine has 3. It doesn't seem to be year dependent when looking at other boats online.

I cant wait to get the boat closer to home!

Congrats Coastin.
Wonderful to have a "New to You" boat. 2.5 hours is like next door. I have mine located 5 hours on a good day (no stops through traffic hell. There are aprox. 3,798,902 people living in the Seattle Metro area. The highways are deigned for about 1 Million cars, yet 3 million try to use the highways each day.). It is not pretty but it can be done.

Could it be that there are different interior structures that result in different port configurations?

Sail often and enjoy it each time as if it was your first.

The h290 had 3 portholes. Manufactured from 1999 to 2001. Check with Hunter about the discrepancy.

The picture on the left side is off of the Hunter 29.5 brochure. (3 ports) Is that boat actually a 290?

My 1994 has 4 ports and 3 of them can be opened for ventilation. It's possible there was only one brochure for the 29 & the 29.5 models
