Broker\'s Remarks
Hunter Marines evolving design and production efforts have steadily progressed over the years to include features otherwise usually seen only in proven long range cruising yachts where speed and comfort are the focus. The Hunter 440 design team seems to have met this challenge which includes a finer bow entry with a slightly hollowed out area just aft of the stem/knee providing faster water movement and in the stern section a longer and more flat bottom surface which equates to less water disturbance and more hull speed. These features combined with a beamy midsection carried far aft provides a huge amount of extra living space and large organized storage areas throughout. Additionally the Blue Heron II has an outstanding execution of luxurious interior details and appointments including exquisite light teak joinery upgraded marine hardware low drain lighting exceptional ventilation and upgraded upholstery.Her extensive optional equipment (*)and Owners upgrade lists ( + ) make the Blue Heron II an incomparable value in todays market. The Owners of the Blue Heron II have kept her in truly near new condition. All mfgrs. warranties convey and is a fantastic opportunity to own a beautiful yacht that has had exceptionally light use and also conforms to the high standards of a CE Category A Unlimited Oceans cruiser at a price that reflects more than $80000 in savings against a new boat.
