This Hunter 23 was purchased by my family 2.5 years ago, my son and I have replaced just about everything on board except the cushions (2 minor blemishes) and have enjoyed every minute of this project (o.k. we had some frustrations). We are taking a break from boating due to my illness, we will regroup and find another project as fun as our Hunter 23 we are selling when the time is right.

Canvas: Full package Main cover,Winches,tiller were all redone 2005 no stains, no fading at all, new zippers, bindings, velcro,etc..
