Our 1997 Hunter 40.5 is an attractive, fast, comfortable and dry boat that will take a crew of 2 or more anywhere in the world.  My wife and I have enjoyed several trips to the Bahamas on her.  It is fully equipped and ready to cruise.  This is not a stock Hunter 40.5.  It has over $20,000 in upgrades.  It has a spacious, bright and well ventilated varnished TEAK interior.  There is exceptional human engineering with many steps, braces and hand holds for comfort under sail or at anchored.  There is great visibility seated or standing at the helm.  The galley and heads have Corian counter tops, the SS stove has 3 burners, the 2 heads are electric and the refrigerator and freezer have independent 12V cold plate systems.  The aft cabin has a full queen mattress that takes standard bedding.  There is lots of storage.  Most of the electronics were replaced in 2015.  A massive arch supports solar panels and a 10’ dinghy in multiple positions with the high position for ocean passages.  It is not necessary to store the dinghy on deck for such passages.  You will enjoy cruising on this boat and not maintaining it.  There is no exterior wood for the sun to attack and the keel is rust proof LEAD.  The 7000 lb keel provides great stability and a shoal, 4’11”, draft which is necessary for the Intercoastal Waterway and the Bahamas.  You will be among the first boats to arrive at an anchorage and not the last. This boat is located on the E coast of Florida.  See the following web site for many great reviews of the 40.5 and my listing where you will find more photos and an extensive equipment list.  Buy it now and be ready to cruise Florida or the Bahamas this fall.  Contact me if you have questions and want to see the boat.
