Standard Equipment on 326

[Ed]

Have a new 326 sitting on the shore waiting for next summer. It wil have the Hunter Pak, but being new to the Hunter - what do I need to upgrade to be happy. For example is the anchor aceptable etc. Only asking as I have not been impressed by many "factory provided" items in the past - but never have dealt with Hunter so it is unfair to assume there "stuff" will be sub standard. Any thoughts?

Extras

WOW! How exciting. That really gives you something to look forward to in the Spring.We purchased a new 320 1 1/2 years ago. We added the following:1.) Stereo AM/FM CD player with speakers in cockpit and lower cabin.2.) In mast furling. Love it.3.) Chart Plotter / GPS4.) Factory Bimini for those beastly hot and sunny days.5.) Change out Danforth anchor supplied with a Bruce 22 Lb. The danforth is like a leathal weapon if you leave it out. Had a run in with a dock and the dock won!! Bent the anchor all to, well you know.6.) Magma party size grill is a must. Works great.7.) Autopilot is really cool.8.) Extra batteryIf you're not at a dock, you may want to consider a washdown pump. Thinking of installing one myself this spring.That should hold you as far as the big things go. Everything has worked great for us with the other factory installed items. Did not get refrigeration as I've heard that appears it could be troublesome. We're on a CAN anyway.Enjoy!!S/V Never Say Never

Thanks for info

Thanks, I really didn't write this question well. The boat has a stero, in mast furling, wind machine, autohelm, cockpit cusions, Gps, RADAR, traveler, Bimini. Was really interested in the "hunterPac" stuff - do I need to upgrade it? The anchor upgrade has been noted, anything else?

Battery Charger

An smart AC battery charger is a must to make sure your batteries are always fully charged when you leave the dock - this is a must.

Basic Stuff

I have a 2001 320, which is basically the same boat as your 326. The Hunter Pack is basic stuff that you will need on the boat to go sailing, that is life jackets, anchor
