SURFHUNTER #29 | Hunt Yachts Surfhunter 25 | 25ft

INTRODUCTION

Classic Hunt Surfhunter 25 stored and serviced by The Concordia Company on the same piece of property where the boat was built in South Dartmouth, MA in 2003 and operated out of Padanaram Harbor on the testy waters of Buzzards Bay for which this hull was designed. 

THE most capable 25 footer in existence. 

If ever there were a 25 foot boat that can handle the choppy waters of Southern New England, this is it. Incredibly dry riding thanks to 'Carolina bow flare' before the term was even coined, along with an extra pair of strakes on the bottom. This was a grand slam of a design from Ray Hunt himself. No trim tabs are needed as the boat is stable thanks to subtle chine flats and rides flat with the stern drive trimmed down and bow up enough in a following sea for the best tracking power boat you will ever experience. And a true deep vee hull with 24 degrees of deadrise at the transom. She planes easily at 12 knots and runs comfortably from there on up to her fast cruise of 28 knots - all day long until the cows come home! 

Hull #29 has just been gone through by Concordia and put in the water and test run by their mechanics and made ready for purchase. Topsides are polished. Stern drive serviced. Bottom painted. Turn the key and go. 

Of note: this boat is equipped with a bow thruster; upgraded Volvo Ocean X sterndrive; Garmin 10" GPS plotter/sounder; the Hunt 'reinforced bimini bow' which sees the addition of a stainless truss to the back of the bimini frame making it incredibly stable while still being able to run in convertible mode with the top folded back or removed altogether from the boat; custom cabinet below for 12v portable reefer; upgraded Sunbrella exterior cushions in lieu of standard Vinyl; Stamoid Bimini top. 

Manual head below with V-berth and filler. A nice sink is located below as well. Large overhead hatch and opening ports. Bi-fold companionway hatch and bi-fold doors. Helm and companion pedestal chairs. An ergonomic helm. Fore/aft engine box seating with removable back rest and a full width and convertible stern settee. Wide side decks with handrails on the side windshield frame and proper stainless bow rails make getting up to the foredeck for bow riding, fishing or tending the anchor or the mooring practical and safe. A teak swim platform (with swim ladder), Flag Blue topsides and tan canvas w matching tan contrasting non-skid and teak ladderback pedestal chairs complete the classic and classy look. 

The owner acquired a substantially larger Hunt a few years back and now - after 15 years of ownership - is somewhat reluctantly but seriously offering this iconic Surfhunter 25 up for sale to the next generation of lucky ownership.
