Hunter Marine horizon 23

"Gemini", currently lying out of the water in Portland is a rare example of a Hunter Horizon 23 with an inboard engine.
The current owner has left no stone unturned upgrading the boat and it would be difficult to find a better example of the market today. Upgrades include, but are not limited to: 2022 Yanmar engine (3 hours), new prop shaft and cutlass bearing, fully rewired, Fuel Tank steam-cleaned, Keel Bolts inspected and replaced where needed, new Skin Fittings, 2nd Battery etc.
The boat is currently winterised and many of the photos show parts of the boat (rudder, sprayhood & sails) drystored at the owner's house.
Broker's view: "The photos do show the boat stripped down for the winter but there is no doubt as to the quality of work that has been carried out. It is rare to find an inboard version of this model and this one has a brand new engine. All of the "Big Ticket" items (engine, standing rigging, keel bolts) have been attended to. There is a recent survey (Sept 2021) available and all of the recommendations have been carried out."

Entry to the Saloon is via a central, lockable companionway with steps leading down. These steps have been adapted to make them easy to remove for engine access.
To Starboard and Aft is the Quarter Berth (with cushions removed in the photos for winterisation) and the Galley (Plastimo Double Burner Hob and Grill with Gas Bottle in External Locker, Sink with Cover and Hand Pumped Cold Water). The Water Tank normally sits below the Quarter Berth but has been removed to fit the second Battery. All of the Fixtures and Fittings remain and this would be easy to re-install. To Port is the Heads Compartment, with Sea-Toilet and Sink.
Further forward there is Seating / Berths and a Central Table.
