This Hunter 240 started its life being sold by a Hunter dealer in St. Louis and the current owners from Memphis bought the boat in 2023 as their introduction to sailing. And she has served that function mightily in the quest of the owners first step towards their retirement sailboat for the Gulf Coast and beyond. The Hunter 240 is the refinement of the Hunter 23.5 but has nicer non-skid, the open transom and the sternrail seats built into the aft end of the cockpit. The interior is very OPEN with no main bulkhead to get in the way. Further she has that huge aft berth that makes a real double berth not typically found in trailerable boats of this size.
Wonderfully there is nothing to do to this boat but hitch her up to your vehicle and go sailing. No rework of anything required !
But whether you want a sailboat for general recreation and daysailing or for that stepping stone towards your more lofty thoughts, the Hunter 240 is a very MANAGEABLE sized boat that can still be trailered for a weekend outing or a vacation of some distance without needing a super large vehicle. She is well balanced on the helm, maneuverable and, virtually, can not turnover with her water ballast in place, yet with ballast removed she is less of a weight to trailer. With her 6 hp long shaft Suzuki outboard she is ready for you to purchase.
Now having been moved from it's berth in south Louisiana in a freshwater lake to our yard in Memphis she is certainly more accessible for many a buyer. Please contact us to arrange a viewing and let's get you and your family "SAILING" in this great trailerable cruising sailboat. By the way, she is fast enough to enjoy some club racing in the future if the interest sparks ! And as we say:
IT'S YOUR MOVE ! !
