Hunt Surfhunter 32

With its iconic deep-V hulls dating back to C. Raymond Hunt and the original Bertram 31 Moppie in 1960, Hunt Yachts knows how to build fast, agile and seaworthy boats. Now, the new Hunt Surfhunter 32 powered by twin 250-hp Yamaha outboards, it has updated a classic to give it both more zip (top speed 44 knots) and more room in the cockpit. The hull on the new 32 is an evolution of the popular Surfhunter 29, now stretched with an Armstrong bracket to fit the four-stroke outboards. The outboards, says Hunt President Peter Van Lacker “are simple, fast and the handling is sportier. The range is greater so you can go a little further, faster.” The redesigned cockpit in the Surfhunter 32 has aft seating with plenty of entertaining (or fishing space).

The bridgedeck has an L-shaped settee to port with a custom varnished teak table on a removable stainless steel pedestal base. Visibility from the helm starboard is excellent all around. Varnished teak companionway doors lead to overnight accommodations below, including a full-sized V-berth, enclosed head and shower, and a galley with a single-burner stove, fridge, microwave, and Corian countertop. The hull, designed by C. Raymond Hunt Associates, is solid E-glass bottom laminate with foam-cored topsides and a vinylester osmosis barrier.

Back Cove 32: an Eastern Classic

It’s been ten years since Back Cove launched its first boat, a 29-foot single-engine diesel designed to make cruising easy. Since then, Back Cove, a sister company to Sabre Yachts, has built 700 boats ranging from 26 to 41 feet long, but all still single-diesel, fuel-efficient, low-maintenance, Maine-built cruising boats.The latest, the Back Cove 32, is scheduled to launch this summer and remains true to the company’s core values.

The Back Cove 32 combines traditional Downeast looks with comfort, functionality and smart use of space. A centerline transom door leads from the swim platform to the cockpit, and it’s all one level from there to the companionway. Matching L-shaped settees are in the corners of the cockpit, and a generous-sized optional hardtop protects the helm deck.

A galley with an electric, two-burner cooktop, fridge/freezer, stainless sink, and microwave is to starboard. To port, a U-shaped settee can be used as a dinette with a table or converted to a sleeping area. The cabin has an elegant cherry interior with satin varnish, and a large island berth is located in the bow. A head with toilet is to port; a separate shower stall is to starboard. Standard power is either a 370-hp Volvo or 370-hp Yanmar diesel. Base price $320,000.

Hinckley 34R

The newest model from Hinckley, a 34-foot runabout, (Hinckley 34R) is the newest in the iconic builder’s line of elegant, classic, Maine-built boats that almost define the Downeast aesthetic. Over the years, Hinckley has managed to blend the latest in hull design and performance with its boats’ gorgeous lines to create an American boating success story.
Indeed, Hinckley just launched its 1,000^th jet-powered boat, a trend that started with the often-imitated Picnic Boat in 1994. In looks and in performance, the new Hinckley 34R, with twin 320-hp Yanmar diesels and Alamarin jetdrives, lives up to its heritage. The Hinckley 34R (for runabout) is designed as a dayboat. Board the boat via the integrated swim platform and a boarding door to the sunpad, and a centerline walkway.

There’s plenty of seating all around, with a U-shaped settee in the middle of the boat surrounding a teak table on a pedestal. The helm features an array of classic analog gauges. A folding teak door leads to the cabin, with small facing settees on each side and a head with toilet, sink and shower in the bow. The Hinckley 34R’s tumblehome is classic Hinckley, as are the flowing lines of the teak-capped, wraparound windshield. It cruises at 31 knots and tops out at 34. Jetstick controls make maneuvering fingertip easy. hinckleyyachts.com
