NARHWAL is recently refit Cummins diesel-powered Surfhunter 29. She features a simple, reliable, turbo-charged mechanical 6CT 315 engine with fresh-water cooling, Ocean X outdrive, new Raymarine electronics suite, new hull paint, refrigerator and microwave, and thoughtful accents like teak toe rails and stainless handrails, and an expertly designed fuel system.

INTRODUCTION:

The Hunt Yachts Surfhunter 29 is a culmination of decades of design and engineering by one of yachting's most influential designers. More capable than the widely popular and respected Surfhunter 25, her legendary Hunt Deep V hull, timeless aesthetics, superb build quality and thoughtful ergonomics combine in an elegant and functional way. This sporty, capable small yacht is quite likely the finest small vessel you will ever own and operate.

NARHWAL 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 weekends aboard, the SURFHUNTER 29 excels in all areas. The fabulously attractive lines of the pedigree Hunt Deep Vee hull form will catch the eye of the experienced yachtsman and garner compliments in any harbor.
