Pearson is a good solid boat in the size you are looking at. look realisticly at how you will use it, where you will keep it, draft or bridge clearance issues and what you want to pay. go to your local marina and talk to owners of boats you like the looks of. Theres a reason so many newer Hunters are for sale. There is a butt for every seat, mine's in a Pearson P-28-2 and liking it fine. Find out what fits yours.
