She’s a lovely looking boat. I hope someone is really enjoying sailing her. Thank you.

I've got a similar 2003 Hunter Passage 456. Probably the same hull mold. (I have a big mast post in the middle of my saloon.I think the compression post here is in the wall to the forward cabin.) I love my Hunter. It's roomy, comfortable, everything is well made. It sails well and is comfortable. (I did think the higher center cockpit might rock a lot but so far it's no problem at all.) Good video showing all the working sheets. Most videos don't do this. (If you look at a boat, look at what the sheets are doing at the gooseneck. The new boat I was just on looks like reefing was invented six months ago. Total mess. Chaffing.) My heating and AC is a heat exchanger, very efficient (and what everyone is moving to today.) The video doesn't show how the dinghy is stored. If off the back rack then the sugar scoop is a bit blocked, on the front deck (where mine is) then the fore cabin is dark. I back my Hunter into her slip and getting on board is like walking into the house. The soundproofing is really good. I spent three days on a really nice Jeaneau 40', no wind. We got sore throats talking over the engine noise. That'll never happen on this boat. I was just on a new boat. Whenever the water pressure pump turned on it was really loud. No effort at sound proofing. One thing I did in the galley, that most Hunter owners could do. Install an exhaust fan. I traced a spare side hatch window out onto 1/4" luan plywood, including tabs for the hinges and clips, then I cut a hole for a fan (with flaps that open when its running, close when its off to keep out the bugs. Don't bother with the speed controller, you'll want it on full or off. Mine is 120 VAC). This is mounted in the hatch right above my stove. I just open the hatch and slide it in. Works great. I'll leave it in unless the seas are up. Boats, just like houses, need to vent exhaust gases, oil and smoke from cooking. Otherwise they build up grease and soot inside the boat and inside your lungs. I was a bit obsessive tracing and cutting out all the parts of the hatch, but now my fan sits in the open port with no latches needed. Pop it out, close the hatch. So I recommend it. The layout of the interior of my Hunter is a bit different. I have a huge aft cabin (on top there's an open 'sun lounging' deck behind the cockpit. Fore there's a wet head at the V and a pullman berth. Aft there's an actual bathtub on the port side. It's exactly what you'd find in a Japanese business hotel. The woodwork and cabinet hardware on Hunters of this vintage is terrific. (I've been on newer boats where everything is plastic and breaks all the time.) Having been on a lot of boats it only takes a few nice woodworking flourishes to make the saloon feel warm and welcoming. I installed a 42" HD TV on an articulating bracket in my boat. To lock it down for sailing I drilled a hole to the cabin behind it and screwed a small cleat on the wall. I have Starlink and Apple TV, but I'm behind in my boat work. The build of these Hunters is top. No wood core, no topside teak, so the hull and deck could last hundreds of years. Look in the bilges at how the frame is gusseted to the hull. That's how a boat is supposed to be made. Then go look at a Beneteau. Which one do you want to go to sea in? My boat also has a Hydrovane (that I haven't tried yet. This level of redundancy is good for crossing oceans with a blade rudder, unprotected by a skeg, and a straight keel. the first owner sailed her from California to Polynesia and New Zealand. I'm pretty sure she'd like to go back.

You have done a great job showcasing the boat!

[@jimmorrison714]

I spent a week living aboard a Hunter 46 just like this taking my ASA 101 - 105 courses to get my charter boat certification. I was impressed by how roomy and comfortable it was. It would be a great live aboard for a couple or small family of 4. I was really surprised at how quickly it reacts to small inputs at the wheel.

Whoever put that headliner in was a Pro! Good luck with the sale!

Just fixed the link, sorry about that! I had it right on our other video description, but not on this one.

[@pingzhou6890]

ok

[@johnrathbun2943]

The only down fall to this Hunter and I believe it's a big down fall is that it has swept back spreaders. But than again it's an island hopper. Not really really made for ocean crossing. Can't really run wing on wing

[@drx1xym154]

Great review of your old boat! Tempting to make an offer.... I'm sure someone will out bid me. Nice setup! Love the separated (port - starboard) dry head/shower (iirc in the forward section?) yet was surprised by the 'wet' head on the other side - since it appeared to have a separate shower. I do like the full "bench" option over the head/toilet, though. If I had one complaint it would be the signing and the overly "light" tone of the 'soft squishy folk music'. I do not mind some folk music, yet this was a bit too soft and way to squishy. Save that for the octopus or the walrus!

[@CasperLCat]

Backup a bit with the camera, please - I can’t see the overall space below. You want to pan slowly around the space, not record every square inch close up.

[@noahsathletics]

What a small boat, I couldn’t even fit my ass on that crapper. For me it’s a 100’ or nothing. I’ll stay with nothing for now.
