Description

'Salad Days' is the popular bilge keel example of the Hunter Pilot 27 making her ideal for cruising the East coast and other shallow areas. Both the dinette and the galley in the raised deck saloon benefit from excellent visibility. Her inside steering position allows comfortable steering while keeping warm with the diesel-fired heating, making her a good all year round cruiser.
