We went to look at "Gulf Breeze" a Hunter 22, today. Bill the owner wants
$1150.00 for it. He says it needs it leaks around the front hatch and port
lights, needs a new keel swing pin and bushing.
I think this is a boat that Brooke really likes. She seemed really excited about
it. It is small, but the systems are simple. Besides what Bill said, it will
need a bottom job. Bill can't remember ever doing one, but with that said there
is next to no growth on it. It will need a motor, Bill doesn't have one. Other
things I noticed were, it will need a new deck organiger, or at least sheaves, a
new double rope clutch, and at least rebuild the winches - #6 lewmars, and
possible a new thru hull and sea cock. It's not leaking, but I am concerned
that it's a gate valve not a sea cock. Could use a fresh coat of paint on the
non-skid areas, but looks in great shape.
