In Catalina Island at a local Hunter Owners' Rendezvous. Steve Pettingale was a featured speaker. He described the process to bring a new model into production. It was very impressive the testing and evaluation path Hunter utilizes to sort out a new model. Got a few laughs out of his crash-testing stories. He also described the Gulf Stream testing in extreme conditions.

I was unaware Steve is as involved in the day to day company operations. He's all over the place in design, engineering, manufacture and even marketing. It sounds like Hunter is well on it's way to coming out of the Luhrs group better & stronger. He also said the Gemini Cat they are manufacturing under contract has been highly re engineered by them.

I was unaware of the relationship between Gemini and Hunter. Good to know.

Gemini cats...

A close friend recenly bought a used Gemini 105. Very impressive boat
(for a cat). It will be interesting to see what improvements Hunter makes to this design.

The deck and interior were redesigned to the point that it looks like major redesign (which it is). In fact, there may be some (very loyal) Gemini owners moving up when they see it.
