Broker's Comments
Designed originally by Ray Hunt and modified by Alan V. Burnard of Fairey Marine. The Huntsman 28 is a pure british classic. Subtly sleek lines with power and stability of ride. This one his hull number 112 and comes to the market after 3 years of loving ownership in nice condition good interior. The cockpit seats numbers have been increased to include a single and double rear facing set that are removable to allow the engine covers to be lifted.
Her cockpit tent was renewed 2018. Engine has had an overhaul covering throughout 2021,22&23.
She has been antifouled and anodes replaced ready for the 2023 season.
She is ready and waiting for another an enthusiast to take her over.
Owners personal comment:
A typical head turning original wooden twin screw motor boat with the original Perkins 6.354 turbo charged engines that still has an excellent turn of speed. She has been a real pleasure to helm and work on. She was built to the original owners spec so rather than being completely open at the stern there is a rear platform that is enclosed with tubular handrails leading to a stern ladder.
These boat details are subject to contract.
Note: Offers on the asking price may be considered.
