What makes the 2023 Hunt Yachts Surfhunter 32 stand out in the yacht market?
The 2023 Hunt Yachts Surfhunter 32 is notable for its powerful performance and luxurious features. Equipped with twin Mercury Verado 300hp outboards and a Seakeeper 2 gyro stabilizer, it promises a smooth and stable ride. The yacht offers advanced control with its Mercury joystick steering and Skyhook system, making docking and navigating more manageable. Its Stars & Stripes Blue Awlgrip hull and high-quality interior materials like custom varnished teak reflect the premium craftsmanship Hunt Yachts is known for.
How does the Seakeeper 2 gyro stabilizer improve the boating experience on the Surfhunter 32?
The Seakeeper 2 gyro stabilizer significantly enhances the onboard experience by minimizing boat roll, which reduces seasickness and increases comfort for everyone on board. This makes the Hunt Yachts Surfhunter 32 not only more stable at rest and underway but also more enjoyable for family and friends during longer outings on the water.
What benefits does the Mercury joystick steering system with Skyhook provide to users?
Mercury’s joystick steering system with Skyhook technology offers seamless maneuverability and precise control, which are particularly useful in tight docking situations. Skyhook acts as a virtual anchor, maintaining the boat’s position and heading even in strong currents or windy conditions, allowing operators to focus on other tasks without constantly adjusting for drift.
What are the navigation and fishing features of the Garmin 8617 on the Hunt Yachts Surfhunter 32?
The Garmin 8617 system on the Surfhunter 32 includes a high-resolution 17″ color plotter, fish finder, and radar capabilities—features that are essential for serious anglers and recreational boaters. This all-in-one system aids in route planning, fish tracking, and collision avoidance, providing a reliable tool for safe and enjoyable excursions.
Why is the dynamic trim control system by ZipWake important for the Surfhunter 32?
The ZipWake dynamic trim control system is crucial for optimizing the yacht’s performance and fuel efficiency. It automatically adjusts the vessel’s trim in real-time to minimize drag, improve speed, and enhance fuel economy. For the Surfhunter 32, this means smoother and faster rides with less manual intervention, enhancing the overall ownership experience.
Provided Description:
ASOLARE is amongst the last of the extremely successful and highly desirable Surfhunter 32s designed and built by Hunt Yachts in Rhode Island. She has benefited from all the incremental improvements made over the years and heavily optioned with notable items such as Seakeeper 2, air conditioning, Mercury engines with joystick control, bow thruster, hardtop, bow rail, and Garmin electronics. Often considered the best riding hull in her class (thanks to her legendary Hunt deep V hull), she is equally as comfortable at rest with a spacious and well-appointed layout that easily transitions from weekend cruising to large family outings and evening cocktail party entertaining. Easy to show from the Hinckley Bay Bridge Marina.
