Broker's Comments
The Hunter Horizon 23 is another great example of accommodation and performance from Hunter boats.
The twin keels provide hydrodynamic lift and therefore help drive the hull efficiently. Sailing performance and seakeeping is reported to be good for the size of boat, which is complemented by an incredibly spacious interior for 23'. This interior has a comfortable headroom, double aft berth, separate heads, spacious galley, saloon and finally another Breton berth in the forepeak.
This version had been previously stored ashore for a number of years and so has not had the use expected for this age of boat. The engine has been regularly maintained and has just had a service.
If you are looking for a neat, spacious cruiser of this size which is able to dry out and cope with coastal passages, this boat is well worthy of consideration, perfect for single handed and small family.
If you would like any more details or to organise a personal viewing, then please do contact our office and we would be pleased to help.
