hunter 34... good advice is where you find it
"What else can you ask of a boat?
I am seriously looking a the new Hunter 33. Can you tell a little about the Hunter 34 rudder design. "Frank" wrote in message ups.com... DSK wrote: ...snip... A couple of folks did but mostly generic to Hunters, not specifically directed at the H-34. Note that Frank M. who had a pretty much unparalleled (AFAIK) experience with a Hunter 34 and said very little against the boat. Hi, Doug, How ya doing? I could certainly go on at length about the weakensses of the H34; but anyone who's owned any boat for any length of time could do that for that particular marque or model. It is a price-point boat. There are a number of caveats for a potential buyer. There is also the fact that you get a lot of bang for the buck. And my kids preferred the interior to the interior of the C&C 39 we looked at, which I preferred overall; but when you're living aboard, liveability hasta count for something. And how many days out of the year do any of us spend offshore, especially in harsh conditions? I've crossed the Atlantic and raced in the Pacific. The worst conditions I ever faced were on this "cheap," "crappy" Hunter. She brought us through that and survived Katrina, Rita, and Wilma. What else can you ask of a boat? Frank |
