2000 Hunter 240

For sale is a very clean 2000 Hunter 240 water ballast sailboat, including an 8hp Tohatsu 2-stroke, electric start motor (with inboard controls) and galvanized trailer. It has a brand new mainsail.

The water ballast makes this boat super easy to trailer. With the water drained, the boat is only about 2300 lbs. The ballast fills upon launching and adds 1300 lbs of water for stability.

The retractable centerboard provides directional stability in the water, but allows the boat to sit low on the trailer for easy retrieval and towing and provides a very shallow draft in the water if needed.

The boat has a mast raising system that makes stepping the mast a straight-forward task that can be done in a parking lot.

She is easy to sail and is an excellent lake hang-out boat. For a 24 foot boat, she is surprisingly comfortable. The cockpit is quite large - much roomier than many larger boats. There are two stern rail “princess” seats with cup holders. A walk-through transom with a swim ladder and step makes lake swimming easy.

The pop top over the companionway allows easy access to the cabin, and provides good headroom for the space below. Inside, the cabin is comfortable for an overnight or two, with sleeping available in the v-berth and quarter berth. The design includes a place for a portable toilet under the v-berth, behind the bulkhead. A one-year-old, very clean portable toilet is included. There is a small galley with a fresh water manual pump faucet and sink, and includes a single burner butane stove and extra bottles of fuel. A small table is included that can be attached in the cabin or in the cockpit.

The boat is currently in the water at Lake Jacomo, in Lee’s Summit, MO. Clear titles in hand for boat, trailer, and motor.
