The Hunter Horizon 27 is a compact British built family cruiser with a bilge keel, making it suitable for the East Coast shallow waters and drying moorings. She has benefitted from some recent equipment upgrades, including echo sounder, speed/log and GPS in 2024 and a 9.8 HP outboard (new 2023) with remote. Lavante is a versatile cruiser with good headroom for her size. If you are looking for a first-time boat, then she is definitely worth a look.
