2. Hey Tim! I am a long time follower and I appreciate a lot your videos. Just wanted to suggest something: as I assume you have world wide audience, it would be a nice touch to mention also values in the international measuring system when you are talking dimensions or weights. Sure we can stop the video and go and concert but for fluidity and general "openness" it would be a nice touch to go "international" 🙂 cheers from The Netherlands!

3. I have a Hunter 44, same hull as the 45 but aft cockpit, and I’ve done a pacific crossing twice. The Hunters are great boats and don’t get the credit they deserve. I’ve been sailing for 20 years and every time I get on another boat (especially “blue water” boats), they are more complicated to sail, slower and have less space below for their size. I’ve been cruising in the South Pacific for 5 years now, and my Hunter 44 has been a great boat with all its comforts. Because of it’s stainless steel arch, I was even able to put 2k of solar on her, so now I can run my washing machine and dishwasher as often as I want. 😎

4. Thank you Tim. 🙏 As European I must say honestly that Americans should feel proud over Marlow-Hunter. Few boat makers have designers that skilled. MH boat design is awesome in comfort and style.

   My few tips that might keep the crusty boat pundit sale community off anyone's time chart:
   A) Second hand boat buyers should take a careful look around the premises of any sale point: Are there maintenance infrastructure? Is the sales point more a dump yard than an "outdoor boat shop" (if its stored) Have the present owner found it worth rise value by washing their floating gemstone? Build value means to be as critical on the surroundings as to the state of the sale object regardless of sale at a private location or at a sale point.

   B) Analyse the owner/salespersons behavior to determine willingness keep a preagreed level of responsibility: Aggravated? Sudden onset of tics-like behavior? Stressed? Nervous? Does the salesperson have key data on the object or are there a sudden occasion of acute amnesia?

   C) Don't blame the marine surveyor if there's unpleasant surprises when you've bought your future wallet-drainer. Be adult and sign a full agreement on your full responsibility. Marine surveyors are most likely people who never passed college. Buy an insured marine survey.

   D) Mind your own behaviour and speech intonation, choice of determination while conversing the salesperson to find out what's to know about your purchase object.

5. Trim that beard, my friend. You're looking scraggly. I'm just saying.👍🥰🤔🏄

6. Too big for me and my little family. Sail on, brother.

7. Nice video. I’d like to see you do a comparison of the hull/keel/deck design/manufacture between Beneteau and Hunter, compare two similar models for example the Beneteau 40 you highlighted as the couples cruiser and a same year Hunter 41. From the basics seems like the Hunter is by far a stronger build, with a keel stub, deep bilges with water/waste tankage down low in center of boat. Most (maybe all) Hunters had lead keels till 2008 or so, Beneteau hasn’t used lead in decades, maybe never and typically have very a shallow bilge (no keel stub) with tanks often forward and aft under berths.

8. how about Amel and Hallberg Rassy or Oyster… or Contest, northship (420DS) Sirius, Hanse and so on 😁 i'm from Germany and you can't get those boats you've shown in this Video over here or when then very Rarely

9. a real hand talker. LOL

10. I owned an 89. Great boat. Mine was rigged to be single handed. Never had an issue with it.

11. I love the Zappa also!!

12. Hunter 45: roomy, but the worst sailing sailboat ever, in my experience.

13. I assume Hunter builds well engineered boats…my only problem with them are the aesthetics…they just don't look quite right.

14. great episode. Some people will always talk trash on a manufacturer. Its like driving a ford or chevy. or a cummins over a duramax. just do your research and buy the one you can afford. or tell the wife you can afford it.

15. Hi Tim. This brodcast was one of the most intertaining on your channel. A lot of great arguments to select the proper Hunter to sail around the world. Only one thing though I would modify is about geography. The Mediterranean is not all over the world . Some would say that crossing the Atlantic Ocean is like going over a pound compared to a much more challenging Indian Ocean. Keep up the great work. I really enjoye watching your new released episodes. Cheers!

16. Valid points all around! I'm not generally a hunter fan, but that is mostly due to their production models. Especially like your final comparison with the Island Packet. I'd love an Island Packet, but for $200K less…sweet deal!

17. You need to come sail on a 2000 Moody 46/47.

18. Excellent information, thank you.

19. I've had three Hunters. I currently love our 41DS. Sails great and a ton of room…… and made well.

20. If you make The kids watch TV in The boat you sick

21. The Morgan OI 41, Chaucer Blue, you showed just dropped the price again. Down to $37k, so you could buy it, spend $50k fixing her up and save a small fortune over the Hunter.

22. Sail what you can afford! Poseidon be damn!

23. Hi, the Hunter 45cc has a comfort ratio of 24.61 and a capsize ration of 2.05. For living space is one thing but for comfort and safety is another. I used to have a sailboat with the same capsize 2.05 and we nearly capsized in a very bad weather. We had to hang on NOT TO BE THROWN in the water. NEVER AND EVER WOULD I BUY ANOTHER SAILBOAT LIKE THAT!!!

24. Again..a hunter has taken me by surprise!

25. The Hunter you're talking about is an amazing boat for a ton of reasons. Storage everywhere. Big roomy boat. Huge head room in the salon. I'm 6' and can't touch the headliner. She can stand up to pretty heavy weather as well. I was on one in 40 knots, 7 meter waves beating windward. But with all that said, center cockpit isn't for me more motion than aft cockpit. Looks, not so pretty in my mind and eye.
    I'll stick with my 43 footer aft cockpit that weighs 36,000.
    And you know how she sails Tim!

26. Label snobbery… its everywhere..

27. How much ⁉ this boat costs ⁉

28. We have an Hunter 376 and it’s been solid and reliable. We love it

29. Why do you never consider comfort ratio? This hunter has a comfort ratio of 24. That would be quite uncofomforable rough sea..

30. The Hunter 45 CC has a CAPSIZE RATIO of 2.05 – which would be considered marginal/failing for blue water (should have a ration below 2.0) and a COMFORT RATIO of just 24.4 (better if over 30) so will be tough on the crew during long passages. These are not very good numbers, if one believes in the stats. As for the boat itself, it has a very small anchor/rode locker, and I'm not sold on the forward bunk being very habitable, but the rest of fhe interior and the cockpit is great. I'd cruise one in the Caribbean or Baja but wouldn't try crossing the Indian Ocean. The Hunter does make a better choice than those old Morgan 41s.

31. Why wouldn’t I buy it? It’s too dang big and still too expensive for my broke self. It does seem nice though

32. My girlfriend and I are living and cruising on a 2004 Hunter Passage 456, we love it.

    Other than three design flaws, it is amazing. Design flaws first: the stairs in then companionway are steep, curved and treacherous in heavy seas; the storage could be better designed; last and not least the impeller is almost impossible to replace. All these Issues were corrected in the Passage 45.

    Both my girlfriend and I are both novice sailors, but can manage this boat easily. Actually, I single handed it until we met, which was a challenge. We sailed close to 4000 miles in 2022, spent three months in the Bahamas, and went around Cape Hatteras three times. We have endured well over 15 foot seas a few times. When the bottom is clean, this this flys. We are leaving to cross the gulf stream this week and will spend hurricane season in Granada.

    This “production boat” has crossed a lot of “blue water”. I love this boat!

33. The best boat to cross any ocean is a well maintained boat with a competent crew.

34. my first vid of yours! very well done! great discussion, thank you!

35. I liked your review talking about both the Morgans and the Hunters. I have a friend who has owned both a Morgan 41 and a Morgan 51 (one of the boats in your video appears to be the 51 – the one with 13 portlights per side). I have had my 1973 Gulfstar 41 Center Cockpit Ketch since 1995. It is a very basic boat with very simple and reliable systems. I have read about families living aboard this exact boat for years, and I think it would be a good platform for that. I have done several offshore passages single handed from Massachusetts to the Dry Tortugas in my boat. One thing I would like to point out about this boat…about the worst conditions I have experienced were 40+ knot winds and about 8 foot seas…though I had practiced heaving-to in the past I had never needed to do it in real conditions until those conditions occurred during an offshore trip in 2017. The mizzen on this boat seems huge, and with no reef points I was expecting it to be too powerful when hove-to. I was pleasantly surprised that sailing only under a partially rolled up Genoa and the mizzen I could go from sailing to hove-to in about 30 seconds without leaving the helm. Roll up the headsail, sheet in the mizzen as tight as I could, put the helm hard over and lock it in place…and that boat just sat like a duck with the keel leaving disturbed water that just sucked almost all the energy out of any approaching waves. I would be interested to see you review the mid to late 70's Gulfstars.

36. oh, how I miss "cajun moon", my '84 out island 416!!! big, fat, heavy and dependable! you could drop a nuke on it and it would sail through. Lived on her for years off and on…from miami beach, bahamas, key west, new orleans and finally pensacola. Had to sell and move on in life (to flying), but I miss her every day. great memories of this wonderful cruiser. the best!

37. We started in a ‘86 Hunter and never had a complaint. Thanks for this review.

38. As a US Sailing instructor in the San Francisco area ( an area well known for being quite challenging, in the bay and especially offshore, for years we taught on Hunter yachts. We really gave those boats a work out. Sailing outside the Golden Gate can be very rough. Strong winds, steep large seas, fog, heavy shipping, cold water etc. This is not like Fl or the keys/Bahamas. Not that that area can’t be nasty too. It’s just a lot less common. How did the Hunters do? Quite well actually. And the Yanmars were very good too. Mike Harker sailed a Hunter 46 and later a 49 around the world singe handed, in 11 months. Often breaking 200 mile days. Oh, did I mention that he was a paraplegic. Yeah, hunters can cruise.

39. I was just about yelling at the screen begging you to be quiet. I have this in the top 5 boats for consideration of purchase. Wish you had waited one more year before putting this out. I don't need the competition for purchase!!!! Nice job as always!

40. We looked at a Morgan Out Island a couple of years back. We had lusted after one for years until we went inside one for the first time. My wife is 5'10" and I am 6'1" and 220 lbs. Loved the decks and cockpit, but instantly upon descent into the saloon, we both knew the space was too small for our bodies. We later bought a Bruce Roberts Offshore 44 and are quite happy with its interior volume.
    Thanks for your thoughtful and thorough reviews!

41. As a retiree, I just want to travel all over, eating exotic food, drinking exotic alcohol, and puffing on my cigars. No chance my family will come with me or for me to go solo. I will need a captain and a hand and a lot more money than I have available. I'm a big guy. 6'2" and 240 pounds. I'll put up with a lot of small spaces, but a tiny bathroom and wet head is always going to be a deal breaker.

42. Great video! Have you ever looked at or reviewed the Hunter 49?
