Hunter 290 specifications and improvements
Engine 423 Hrs.Description
Well-equipped and plenty of upgrades make this comfortable Hunter a delight to sail and live on for a couple or family.  User-friendly layout below deck and in the cockpit, coupled with the wide beam make this yacht a dream to both sail and weekend on in the harbor.  Refrigeration and a two-burner propane stove make it easy to prepare meals.  New upholstery makes the saloon look spacious and modern.  This boat spins on a dime in the harbor but holds a tack with minimal lee helm or attention to the wheel.  Large bimini offers protection from the elements and makes for easy lounging in the cockpit, which had outboard corner seats for guests.  Extraordinary list of upgrades and improvements make this boat a steal.
