Description

How about a Hunter Legend 43, completely refurbished over the last two years, and regretfully being put up for sale due to unplanned life changes?
Interesting layout with V berth forward with head and double aft stateroom with head, plus third cabin with two 6’6” bunk beds and third head! Current owner bought her in 2017 and had a complete refit done between 2017 and 2018. All systems gone over with a fine-tooth comb and anything this boat needed was done by professional ABYC technicians. The plan was to make the investment in the boat for long-term ownership. Life changes; and she is now up for sale. Rebuilt engine with 200 hours and rebuilt transmission.  She has two zone A/C and upgraded electronics, a new genoa (2017) and refurbished main. The bottom was soda blasted, barrier coated, and painted. All new electrical system, all new running rigging and so much more. Check it out!

BROKER"S COMMENTS
If you are looking for a turn key boat that needs nothing, this is your dream come true. Mechanically and structurally excellent in every way. Cosmetically she is average. Under the custom carpeting the cabin sole is good throughout, Companionway bulkhead could use some refinishing. A few minor dings the fiberglass deck, but hull is excellent. No signs of ever having been grounded. Fresh bottom paint, zincs and such; and launched late March ready to go for the season. This boat is priced to move. Disclaimer
