Not to worry you Hunter owners but...
Of the two Serendipity's that were lost last Saturday, one was seen
floating off its mooring when it fell off a wave, broke if half
and sank before ever hitting land. Scary.

Dave Latham (a Hunter 25.5 owner!) who rather keep the .5 attached
to the 25.

I saw Hunters come apart at Masthead during Gloria. Not the older
ones, but the stuff built since about '83. Real thin hulls, no
glassed-in bulkheads, real weak exposed hull-deck seam, and nothing
has anything like a backing plate (cleats and winches pulled out
all over the place).
You get what you pay for.

| 1027.4 | strange boat | 7990::RDF | Rick Fricchione | Sun Nov 27 1988 07:29 | 9 |
The hunter 51 was one strange boat. Didn't sell real well, but
was supposedly very fast. It seemed to carry precious little beam
for a 51 foot boat (seemed like an 8 or 9' beam to me) to be stable,
and the construction I saw scared me.
Not suprised to hear one would snap in half in the right conditions.
