SASS SEA Hunt Yachts Surfhunter 25 2005

VESSEL WALKTHROUGH

INTRODUCTION

The Hunt Yachts Surfhunter 25 is a culmination of decades of design and engineering by one of yachting’s most influential designers.  Everything from the legendary Hunt Deep V hull, timeless aesthetics, superb build quality and thoughtful ergonomics are combined in such a remarkable way that it’s hard to believe you are on only 25 ft. of boat.  This sporty, capable small yacht is quite likely the finest small vessel you will ever own and operate.

SASS-SEA is just about the perfect boat for enjoying the water in a multitude of ways.  From cruising around the Chesapeake Bay, fishing in Nantucket Sound, heading to dinner on the water with friends or towing the kids in a tube, the SURFHUNTER 25 excels in all areas.  The fabulously attractive lines of the pedigree Hunt Deep Vee hull form and will catch the eye of the experienced yachtsman and garner compliments in any harbor.

SASS-SEA is a 2005 Hunt Yacht Surfhunter 25′ with a newer 320 hp Volvo Penta and Ocean X (aluminum) outdrive.  She features a bow thruster, windlass, new canvas and good cushions.  Newly replaced items include heat exchanger, manifolds and risers, ECM (Electronic Control Module), several fuel and steering pumps, power steering actuator, alternator, bow thruster joystick, rebuilt head and head hoses, dash rocker switches, and serviced the bilge pumps and hoses.  Varnish refinished June 2022.  Hull waxed and buffed, and bottom paint touched up. Boat detailed by Hinckley.  Includes 2015 trailer with brakes, used four times.
