1986 Hunter 28.5
        
                          1986 Hunter 28.5 rigged and ready for
                          sailing. The boat trims up nicely in the
                          wind. It can point high into weather with
                          good performance and picks up speed
                          quickly for it's size. There are few
                          items that need some work but overall the
                          boat is in good condition.
                          2 cabin top winches (one needs to be
                          rebuilt) at the companion way for
                          hoisting sales, 4 main winches for
                          foresail sheets. All controls at the
                          cockpit for single handed sailing
                          Mainsail with 2 reef points in very
                          good condition. Stack pack needs repairs.

                          15 hp Yanmar Diesel (2GMF20) is in
                          good condition and well maintained -
                          regular oil changes, filters and
                          impellers replaced, etc. Recent work on
                          fuel system: injectors removed and
                          cleaned, fuel lines bleed, fuel tank
                          cleaned, and injector pump rebuilt. I
                          have receipts for this and all other
                          work.
                          Binimi is only 2 years
                          old, Signet instrumentation - Depth,
                          speed, anonometer, and
                          windvane. Folding Clamshell
                          Propellor. Running water with water
                          heated from engine heat. 5 gallon
                          holding tank with full functioning
                          head. Full working galley with 2
                          burner alcohol stove. Cushions and
                          fabric for settee and births in excellent
                          condition. Cabin sole needs some
                          work. Draft - 5 ft 2in (fin keel)
                          Currently the boat is in a charter
                          fleet at Bay Area Sailing School at
                          Sacketts Sailing Center in Kemah, Texas.
                          In the last 7 months, the boat has made
                          an average of $181 a month in charter
                          revenue (I have statements). If you keep
                          the boat in the fleet, the cost of the
                          boat and all expenses, including slip
                          fees are tax deductible. 
                          I’ve had the boat in the charter fleet
                          for 2 1/2 years and it’s worked well. The
                          boat makes decent income, which helps
                          offset the slip fees, and I get to sail
                          her when I want. But I live in Dallas and
                          I just don’t have the time to drive to
                          Kemah and sail as often as I thought I
                          would.
