It hasnt changed much in the last 10 years or so, When you have a good product, stick with it,

Every 3 years or so they changed minor things,

Our boat has oiled teak or oiled teak ply with trim what is in your boat ? The new boats have high gloss cherry, real ritzy looking. We love the traditioal look of oiled teak and my lovely wife likes to clean and oil the wood.

You will be suprised what a coat of teak oil will do on the wood.

By the way are you able to work on your boat yet?

Whatever you do remember to save your 16 oz water bottles to put in the aft hole behind and under the beds. It is advised to use empty bottles so if you needed to do some repairs you can get them out. I bet it takes a couple hundred to fill up each side, that's a lot of flotation in the aft where the motor and fuel tanks are. The bow crash zone is full of foam but because of rudder maintance they recomend removable flotation in the stearn.

You are going to love and enjoy this boat just like your Hunter. My wife and I have owned many different boats among them a 1994 Hunter 40.5 which we sailed on the Great Lakes then south to the Bahamas for a season in the 90's and in 2007 a new Gemini 105 that we sailed from Annapolis to the Bahamas for a season. We enjoyed taking the Gemini in skinny water and all the day light. Gemini Cats are now made by Hunter in Florida as the Smiths (Sue and Tony great folks) sold the company to The Catamaran Company.
