Keao,

Sorry, but I only saw your June 2010 message about the planned purchase of a Hunter Legend 43 just now. I'm assuming you probably don't need my input anymore. However, if you do, please email me directly at <meuzelaar@ftml.net>. Best regards, Henk Meuzelaar

Hi, sorry to bother you, but i feel i have very little people to ask for an unbiased opinion. I'm looking into buying a Hunter legend 43' 1991, same year and model as yours i believe. I keep stumbling across information about your boat, so i figured i'd ask, how you like Rivendel II. How does she perform in blue waters? do you ever have doubts in her? I am looking to buy a 43 legend to run a charter in Hawaii. I'll need to cross the pacific w/ her from San Diego in February. I will also use it as a personal cruiser to the south pacific and anywhere else my heart takes me. but i am not looking to head to arctic waters so i wont have to worry about that yet. any and all information you can give me would be great. there are to many reviews by people out there who do not and have not owned a hunter. I'm 27 and looking to make cruising more accessible to anyone in hawaii. thxs again for your help.
