The owner bought this boat in 2004
General condition and any additional information
I have the original Manufacturers statement of Origin to a Boat., I also have full Colorado title to the trailer. The unit is a day sailor sailboat with a capacity for four adults and supplies. The Hunter with trailer is easy to roll around, auto transport (600 lbs), set up, launch, sail, retrieve, and store with just one person. The whole process of set up takes about 30 minutes from parking to launch once familiar with the unit. Same time frame for take down and prep to travel. The Hunter has only been flipped once when I tested it for stability and recovery. It took myself and one very large person to get it onto its side. It did not sink or turtle. Any water taken on self drains out the back. Due to my location in Colorado, this boat has only been sailed on fresh water. I store it in my garage when not in use with the mast, boom and jib hoisted near the roof of the garage. The trailer came with the sailboat and has a locking two inch hitch. I installed mud flaps. The trailer has a vertical support to rest the mast on during transportation. It has a ratchet strap for recovery. I installed a removable ratchet strap to secure the unit to the trailer verses rope ties. The outboard 2hp Honda was purchased prior to what is currently available (not made in China) and has been serviced every few years. I will sale the outboard with this boat or separately reducing the price by $600. Transportation of the unit to the buyer is open for discussion.

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)
Later sold as HUNTER 15.
