I just like to mention I've finally purchased a Hunter 260, after a winter of searching. She looks great! The drive to North Carolina to deal with Crazy Dave was well worth it. He was great to deal with, trustworthy and showed great integrity. "Hunter" what were you thinking of ? Poor quality control shown by lossing Dave as part of your team.The 2000 mile trip home was a breeze, Magic Tilt trailer pulled well, but wow, the gas was a burning.Weather here is warming up, still alittle cool. I'm going to set her up this week, if I can recall how, introduction was a blur. I'm looking forward to sailing and "tinkering" with MIND'ER as she will be called, and keeping up with this forum.
