hunter 34
BTW Hunter has always been a low-priced mass-produced boat. So people who say 'The old ones are better built' or some variation on the theme, 'The late '80s models started having QA problems' etc etc are probably reflecting anecdotal evidence rather than serious decision-influencing data. Our full service yard on City Island has done many many repairs on Hunters, often insurance work and on occasion, some waranty work. We have no doubt at all that models from the early to mid 80's held up better than models in the 90's, at least in our NY climate. Quite recently we have several new Hunter boats operating via charter with us and they appear to be far better built. Talking to full service yards and surveyors will give some general indication of problems you might face. A yard like ours, which does not carry a new line of boats is likely to be more honest about repair history. Robert 35s5 NY |
