Those of you who were on the site a couple years ago will certainly remember Jim Bohart of Hunter Marine, who provided us with many good insights and more than a little entertainment, too. Jim left Hunter a year ago to work at a major So Cal dealership, and has now opened HIS OWN dealerhsip in Marina del Ray; Sailboats, Inc. While Jim does not have a Hunter franchise, he does have the Beneteau dealership for LA and surrounding areas. Jim and his crew can be found at: http://www.sailboatsinc.com Be sure to say hi and wish him the best of luck! Also, of note to Hunter owners, he's got the prototype HC 50 at his docks. This is the boat that Steve Pettingill and Warren Luhrs designed and built to their desires, before any modifications were made for production. As it's been a demo boat for a year or so, a deal can be had. Just thought I'd mention that in case anyone is ready to indulge in that particular cruising fantasy.... I've sailed the boat with Jim and I can tell you first hand, it is a serious hoot to sail! Anyhow, stop by Jim's web site and say hi. He'll be tickled to hear from you.
