Both are decent boats of similar build quality and price. This is largely a matter of personal preference with the scales tipped toward which boat has been better maintained.
The ubiquitous Catalina smile in which the keel separates from the boat is enough of a problem issue requiring constant attention in itself to far outweigh the added maintenance of an iron keel which, I believe Hunter does not have anyway.
The conventional wisdom is that you are basically choosing between a Ford and a Chevy - not enough difference to make a decision solely based on the nameplate.
