Hunter 426 Deck Salon

DAWG HOUSE is a very clean and well maintained Hunter 426 Deck Salon. The yacht has been lovingly owned by the same couple for the past 22 years. They have decided to make the move to a power boat for their senior years and DAWG HOUSE is now available for her next loving owner. The two boat owners are actively seeking offers for DAWG HOUSE.

This innovative cruiser features a performance orientated hull drawn by noted designer and racer, Glenn Henderson, Hunter's Chief Designer. The 426 Deck Sallon carries the beam well aft, but the additional beam does not hinder performance or seakeeping ability, it actually enhances it. Wide windows and ports offer a real panorama and the creative layout allows for two full staterooms with two full heads and separate stall showers. Galley appliances are stainless steel and surrounded by genuine Corian countertops. The aft owners stateroom features a comfortable queen size berth with ample hanging locker space and storage. Innerspring mattresses are in both spacious staterooms.
