Description

Hunter yachts have a reputation for packing a lot of accommodation into their boats and the Legend 280 is no exception. There is room for up to 6 to stay on board and the full cockpit enclosure provides a good deal of extra covered space. A yard storage cradle is included in the sale. Construction: GRP construction in White gelcoat finish. Shallow draft wing keel (1.07m draft), spade rudder with wheel steering. Powered by a Yanmar 2GM20 18hp inboard diesel with shaft driven 2 bladed propeller. The engine cover can be fully removed giving excellent access for maintenance. 2 x 12V batteries (new June 2025) provide engine start and domestic power, these charging via the engine and a shore power battery charger.
