1998 Hunter 23.5 for sale located perfectly at coconut Grove sailing club, ($300/mo mooring is a great deal with unbeatable location) in great shape, I have a new fuel connector to install, just a quick socket wrench bolt, I have it bypassing this for now, it’s ready to sail, needs a new metal screw to align cogs better on the honda 8hp engine or youll hear it grind when starting, about 10 minutes of work all in all
Has a slide & pop up convertible hatch to let you stand, settees on both sides, v birth at front, two aft beds (cushion) at back, Cushions need cleaned,
Sails in good shape, 8hp Honda outboard is maintained with no problems and is very fuel efficient
Has a water ballast so is trailerable but is on mooring ball, can drop over 2500lbs drained
Good value for a starter boat, I stayed on it for a month but am ready to sell as I live in Nashville and can’t travel as much now. Hunter has good 23.5’ model manuals and brochures online, this is a perfect trailer sailer or keep it at CGSC right in coconut grove

The theoretical maximum speed that a displacement hull can move efficiently through the water is determined by it's waterline length and displacement. It may be unable to reach this speed if the boat is underpowered or heavily loaded, though it may exceed this speed given enough power. Read more.
Classic hull speed formula:
Hull Speed = 1.34 x √LWL
A more accurate formula devised by Dave Gerr in The Propeller Handbook replaces the Speed/Length ratio constant of 1.34 with a calculation based on the Displacement/Length ratio.
Max Speed/Length ratio = 8.26 ÷ Displacement/Length ratio.311
Hull Speed = Max Speed/Length ratio x √LWL
A measure of the power of the sails relative to the weight of the boat. The higher the number, the higher the performance, but the harder the boat will be to handle. This ratio is a "non-dimensional" value that facilitates comparisons between boats of different types and sizes. Read more.
SA/D = SA ÷ (D ÷ 64)2/3
A measure of the stability of a boat's hull that suggests how well a monohull will stand up to its sails. The ballast displacement ratio indicates how much of the weight of a boat is placed for maximum stability against capsizing and is an indicator of stiffness and resistance to capsize.
Ballast / Displacement * 100
A measure of the weight of the boat relative to it's length at the waterline. The higher a boat’s D/L ratio, the more easily it will carry a load and the more comfortable its motion will be. The lower a boat's ratio is, the less power it takes to drive the boat to its nominal hull speed or beyond. Read more.
D/L = (D ÷ 2240) ÷ (0.01 x LWL)³
This ratio assess how quickly and abruptly a boat’s hull reacts to waves in a significant seaway, these being the elements of a boat’s motion most likely to cause seasickness. Read more.
Comfort ratio = D ÷ (.65 x (.7 LWL + .3 LOA) x Beam1.33)
This formula attempts to indicate whether a given boat might be too wide and light to readily right itself after being overturned in extreme conditions. Read more.
CSV = Beam ÷ ³√(D / 64)
Displacement dry = 2,000 lbs.
