A ferro cement outrigger canoe with a junk rig perhaps? Maybe you could start a(nother) thread?

Come on, the choice will be between a Gunboat 66 and a 118 WallyPower. Which one do you think is better and why? And can I tow a fuel barge behind the WallyPower, and do they make an icebreaker bow fitting for it? Which one do you think girls will find most macho?

it never ceases to amaze me,how a self confessed total novice ,in the space of 24 posts,can become an expert,and be offering advice on hunters!

How much knowledge do you need to be an expert on Hunters? Big, Slow and then they're big and slow. Oh, did I forget to mention they are big and slow? And with notable exceptions - they tend to carry crappy buckets

Took me years!

I have a nice bucket, but I took it off my Cal and moved it. So don't know if it counts.

Yeah Atoll,

It's goddamn getting dark here in the mornings now (evenings too) and its raining and the sailing season is drawing to a close. The gals have all put their miniskirts away for the winter (ain't life sh*t!)

. And melancholy danes have started thinking about the bottle in the closet.

All that BS aside - Hunters do tend to carry crappy buckets (Don Lucas is an exception).

But Don had to buy his bucket from the after market, or maybe he got a used one from z.

The reason good buckets come stock on those big fancy expensive boats is to make the buyer feel better about their over-priced piece of fiberglass! It's better to get a good boat without that stock bucket and then get the one you like and but all the savings into something important. Like beer!!!

Does hunter sell heavy fiberglass buckets?

Just noticed this thread.

Very funny.

Maybe he can have buckets of salt to melt the Ice ?? Buckets can hold Many things !!! It really don't matter what boat he uses! even a slow hunter will haul buckets of salt! It wont make em any slower!!
