aft cabin makes no sense to me .

Never see the point in double beds that only have enough head room to sleep if you know what I mean .

would have been better to make aft head communal and had 2 single cabins with single coffin bunks .

aft doubles only work on mid cockpit boats .

because have engine in the middle under cockpit floor .

Head one side and a corridor the other leading to a full height aft cabin.

double on a aft cockpit is pointless in my opinion.

But im to fussy everything I get into im like fuck it il have to build it myself .

from boats and cars to computers and furniture always the same lol.

Hunter boats just leave a bad taste in my mouth. Low quality construction.

Does SAIL Magazine ever give a negative review of a new boat?

As with most suppose it reviewers, if you give a negative review ‘they’ won’t allow you to review their products, As the old saying goes, you don’t shit where you eat

If someone happens to give you a Hunter 40' please give it to me because I like them. It would be even better if it had only one head or a half head in the rear cockpit because you don't need 2 showers on a boat with 2 cabins. I like the lighter woods instead of the darker mahogany salons on previous Hunters.

I think the weather deck areas look sleek, and you'd hardly imagine the interior being so nice amenity wise.   A great candidate for single handed sailing...

I hope Hunter survives the recession. Lots of sailboat manufacturers are hurting. Hunter & Catalina are well established,reasonable quality builders that you don't have to be rich to afford. Granted they don't have all the frills of higher end builders but they get you out there sailing.

@Robert Lugo I am not saying they are great boats but they have their place. I had a Catalina 27 years ago & sailed it on a lake. It was perfect for that. I didn't do it but it would have been fine for weekend coastal cruising too.  That's their market niche & if that is what you want to do with a boat they can get you out sailing for less $$. 
When I had my 27 I was a young poor college student and a high end boat wasn't an option. I could have sat at home dreaming of an Islander or a Com Pac or I could actually get a boat that was "good enough" and get out on the water. 
You don't need a Mercedes to run to the store.

@Robert Lugo Did I say high quality? No, I said reasonable quality & they are reasonable quality. I sure wouldn't want one to cruise the world but they are perfectly well suited for cruising the islands of cruising up the coast. That's what most people do with their boats anyways & they are a fraction of the cost of a Sabre or a Hylas & that gets lots of people out on the water that otherwise couldn't afford to.
