Hunter 27 Base Price (incl. freight & commissioning): $60,755

One wonders why if you got past that one the rest of the pricing strategy seemed excessive?

Go for the cushions and head (so THEY install the tank & throughhulls/fittings) if you what them, also. the rest you should farm out to the dealer or local yard.

The traveler and sheet winches are options????? Sheesh!

Boy, even more piracy - with shore power you have to buy their microwave.

I'd also opt for the pressure water system up front if that's what you'd like. That's one I could do without if a boat didn't already have it. Foot pumps and SolarShowers save lots of water.

VHF

If it includes a mast top antenna with all the holes drilled correctly ect ect it is a big freaking job

A set of 4 pretty plain J24 cabin cushions cost 1000 dollars

Would you rather have a base price of $70K+ and not have the option of trying save costs by putting in the options yourself?

Although, even after having said that, I agree that they are probably being deceptive in trying to get you in door with a low base price and then sticking you with the add-ons that you would have assumed were already in the base.

Of course, you can't put a price on the teasing you'd undergo...
