1983 Hunter 34

This 1983 Hunter 34 is a fiberglass sailing yacht built around a proven cruising design. The boat has spent its service life as a day sailor on the Chicago lakefront, with recent work focused on reliable operation and comfort. A Westerbeke diesel engine powers the boat, supported by a newly replaced driveshaft, cutlass bearing, and zinc. The propulsion system runs well and is ready for use.

Below deck, the boat has been freshened with new cushions throughout and five new opening port lights that improve ventilation and natural light. Two new house batteries were installed in July 2025. The hull has been painted with anti-fouling bottom paint, maintaining protection against marine growth.

The boat comes with a cradle for storage and transport. With solid bones and a well-maintained engine, this Hunter offers straightforward, comfortable cruising for those seeking a capable performer at a practical price point.
