Hunter 28.5 Smithville, MO
We don't know how to determine a furler to purchase for our 28.5 hunter. It currently has a furler but the plastic striping has come loose. Any suggestions on a replacement furler?

I replaced my furler with a Selden Furlex 200. It is a high quality furler and at the pricier end of the furler spectrum. I think it is a good investment if you plan to keep your boat a long time. A friend with the same model H28.5 boat has a CDI FF6 on his boat and likes it. It cost less than half of the what the Furlex cost. While I think CDI makes a cost-effective furler, I don't care for their halyard arrangement as I typically change headsails 2 or 3 times during the season to meet prevailing wind patterns.
