If i remember, the '80 pearson has a narrow 10' beam and the hunter a 12' beam that is carried farther forward and aft. That's a whole lot of comfort. I lived aboard a hunter for many years and have gotten to know the company quite well and tend to lean in that direction. But when it comes to your choice, ask yourself which boat is most comfortable for you. My first boat had a 10' beam and I would never subject myself to that again.
Otherwise, there are a whole ton of other considerations. These are older boats that may be too old for most companies to insure (many insurance companies will only insure boats that are less than 20 years old). Hull, engine, and all other issues must be checked out thoroughly. You may find that one or more of these boats just may not work once you've really given them a once over.
