[Rhodes22-list] Single handed over 25 feet--Hunter27

[DCLewis1 at aol.com]

Lee,
 
The Hunter is a good looking boat, but with a shoal draft of 42" it will  
likely be less of a shallow water cruiser, and will also be harder to trailer  
and launch than an R27.  My guess is the R27 shoal draft will be roughly  30" 
(draft of the scorpioyacht trawler) or less, which is about x2 a Seaward's  
shoal draft, but less than the rest of the pack.  Also, the Hunter doesn’t  look 
like it has 7' of head room, and likely doesn’t have positive buoyancy  (will 
an R27?) - I don't think any comparable boats have either.  I’m  starting to 
believe the R27 has the potential to be pretty  unique.  What do you think?
