Sorry for the delay in responding and may be to late but here goes.
Purchased a 2007
Hunter 49 in Sorasota
Florida in April 2017 and sailed her outside (mast is 67 ft so
ICW was not possible) to
Chesapeake Bay. Conditions were favorable with max 25 it winds and 5 ft seas all the way.
Boat did great and trip lasted 14 days after a couple of stops on the
Florida Coast.
Lots of TLC applied since then and planning a trip from Deltaville Va to
Bermuda in May of 2019.
