A new Hunter 33 came into my club a couple of weeks ago and I finally got a
close look. 1st of all, this is not a typical bathtub hunter like Horvath's and
most others. They actually gave the boat some lines. Some damage is done by the
three odd sized windows/ports, but the overall look of the boat is a huge
improvement. They also carried the doghouse coachroof too far forward for
volume, but that can be forgiven in today's market. Down below one gets the
impression that Hunter is continuing to improve. Fit and finish was good, the
sole was solid and things were less plastic-like. The cockpit was well laid out
and the big swimplatform/scoop looks like fun. I've sailed side-by-side with
the boat and it sails well, though it has in mast furling.

Here's a pic from Yachtworld...

Not too shabby. The swim platform looks a little small, and where is
the swim ladder?

Man, you can tell that thing was made to sail. The traveler is above the

I saw a C&C 99 at a boat show in Chicago. It was poorly made. Some
of the doors wouldn't close properly.

We checked out a new C&C at the Michigan City In-The-Water Boat Show in
August. Sadly, it appeared cheapened from earlier C&Cs and we found similar
problems, including floor access panels poorly fit, doors that either didn't
close or didn't stay closed, and finish mistakes on several pieces of wood.
Externally it seemed about on par with earlier boats, but the interior was
unattractive and poorly done. Not to mention an astronomical price
considering such flaws. C&C is resting on its laurels and doesn't offer
good value for the money.

I find it hard to believe that they wouldn't fix these things, at
least for the show boat.

So did we. The Beneteaus were similarly unprepared for the show.

At the last show in AC, the Beneteaus were a mess (again). The Smaller hunters
were barley together with screws missing and tables that were not fully
fastened. The larger hunters were better treated by the reps. This sort of
thing is common. I've seen at every boat show on a variety of boats.

That's what I thought. I figgered they must have had bigger problems.

do they take the same boat from show to show, or use a local dealers'
boat?
