1997 Hunter 430

The 1997 Hunter 430 is a center-cockpit cruising sailboat measuring 43 feet in length with a 14-foot beam. Built during the model's production run from 1990 to 1997, this fiberglass hull carries a displacement of approximately 23,800 pounds and is fitted with either a shoal-draft or deep-fin keel configuration. The boat is powered by a 50-horsepower Volvo diesel engine, delivering a cruising speed of 8 knots and maximum speed of 12 knots.

The Hunter 430 features a fractional rig without a full backstay, equipped with a large mainsail and roller-furling genoa for a combined upwind sail plan of roughly 900 to 950 square feet. The design reflects Hunter's evolution toward offshore-capable cruisers, with a moderate-to-heavy displacement suited to extended passages and sea keeping. The boat's performance characteristics and sail plan are typical of early-1990s center-cockpit designs.

Accommodations include two cabins and two heads. The boat has been maintained as a one-owner family yacht and comes with a transferable slip arrangement.
