Owner's Comments

The Hunter Pilot 27 is an excellent cruising yacht with spacious accommodation for a vessel of this size.
The decksaloon has outstanding all round visibility with a pleasant airy feel to it, and the boat can easily be driven from the internal steering position.
The cockpit is safe and comfortable with direct tiller steering if required.
'Odd Job' is in very nice condition internally and we are sure will prove a fun boat for her new owners
