Seller’s Honest Notes
This boat has been actively used and upgraded rather than neglected, and the following items are disclosed for complete transparency:
– Small divot in the keel caused by anchor chain wrapping around the keel during strong current conditions. Photos available. Estimated professional repair cost is approximately $1,250 or roughly $300 in materials for a DIY repair.- Existing anchor chain remains serviceable but may need replacement within the next year depending on usage.- Bottom paint will likely need refreshing before or after the next launch, particularly around the keel repair area.- Cockpit enclosure vinyl remains functional but has begun to yellow with age.- Dinghy holds air well overall, though one chamber has a slow leak and the dinghy shows normal wear.
Overall Condition
– No known leaks- No soft deck- No steering issues- Reliable Yanmar diesel- Extensive off-grid cruising upgrades- Turnkey cruising and liveaboard capability
If you’re searching for a Hunter 340 that is already equipped with lithium batteries, substantial solar capacity, watermaker, Starlink, modern electronics, and serious anchoring gear, this vessel represents an exceptional value compared to similarly equipped cruising sailboats.
