$3000
good condition: brand new Honda 2.3 motor (less than 10 hours), trailer, anchor, life jackets, porta pot, alcohol stove, small cooler, sails (main, jib, genoa). Fixed wing keel with 2' draft. Ready to go - sail today! All pics are mine and most are current with the exception of the two interior pics which are borrowed. My interior looks exactly the same: cushions and interior in very good condition. Battery is dead and electrical system could use updating. I've used LED portable lights recently. Gelcoat still good and boat has a decent shine. Fun boat, relatively easy to launch and retrieve. Trailer has tongue extension. https://sailboatdata.com/sailboat/hunter-185/
$3000

Last year I trailered the boat 400 miles to Pensacola for a 4 day/3 night cruise. I've owned the boat for 13 years; time for the next one

Boat is in Chattanooga, TN.

 :) That Hunter is a pleasant boat to sail in, and is good to windward.

For under 19 feet, I was reasonably comfortable, and had adequate space on my side for the gear I brought for a 5 day sail on the ICW from St. Mary's Ga to Savanah Ga.

We had both reaches and short tacks in the channel, with proper success, as long as we were patient, as some were into a strong tide.  That was my first experience with a wing keel, and I was pleased with the performance.

Thanks again for that great adventure, my friend.

For those that do not know, that sail is the only time we have ever been together!  Just very good internet friends.

Thanks for the comments, Norm. We had a good and memorable trip and the Hunter did swell - very suitable for that kind of cruise.
