The Surfhunter 25 is a legend on the nasty, choppy waters of Buzzard's Bay where the summer sou'wester kicks up a short steep chop every afternoon trying to push all the water east of Newport up through the narrow pass of the Cape Cod Canal. The Surf Hunter was designed by Ray Hunt for these waters and originally built there in wood. She has a full 23-degree deadrise deep-V hull with a widely flaring bow to punch through the chop while staying dry. When combined with a modern sterndrive with counter-rotating props the result is best-in-class handling, performance and fuel economy with shallow draft when needed. She planes easily at 12 knots and runs beaujpgully from there on up through her fast cruise in the mid to high twenty knot range with max speeds above 30 knots. A timeless, purposeful design that “looks just right” to the eye. (Manufacturer Provided Description)
