I have a 1985 Hunter 40 (On City Island in NY) available. The boat was launched
in 1986 and then put on the hard in 1991 and never sailed again! She has
basically sat unused high and dry for nearly 14 years! The boat is a project,
but her deck, rig and sails appear to be fine. She's not a wreck in any
respect. Her interior looks good as does her glass and topsides, Her engine
appears to be siezed, and will require replacement or repair. She has roler
furling, solid vang and so on. Her floors will need refinishing, but are sound.
She has a autopilot and basic electronics, but it needs updating I expect. All
of the cushions are there. Some will need cleaning, no big deal. There appears
to be no deck leaks or other structural problems and she should clean up very
nicely. I doubt that, beyond the engine, it will take too much to get this boat
back into action again. She certainly has liveaboard capability. This is a
project for someone who knows what they are doing, but you can certainly have a
lot of boat for the buck.
The price is 33K. I will be creating a website for her, but wanted to give an
early heads-up in case someone wanted to see her now. I'm looking for a serious
buyer and I welcome surveys of course.

Contact me at if you're interested in this deal.

Is that the one that had the holding tank connections come off, and they
never managed to get the smell out?

This is not a place to post ads. AOL will probably take a dim view.

No, that's the Hunter with the unsupported hull that 1/4" thick down there
at the waterline to make it real easy to drill a hole through for new
through-hull fittings.....(c;

I stood next to a friend's Hunter with my battery drill in hand with a hole
saw in it waiting for him to tell me where he wanted the hole for the Whale
bilge pump required for CORA racing in Charleston. "You'll never drill
through the hull with that little drill motor.", he proclaimed. When we
decided where he wanted the hole, of course, I simply punched the hole in
that place in a matter of seconds. I pulled the plug of thin fiberglass
out of the hole saw and handed it to him with his mouth hanging open. "You
said drill it here.", I quipped smiling. Man that hull was THIN! No
wonder the boat is so LIGHT!
