2007 Hunton RS43

Southampton, Hampshire, United Kingdom

£349,950

Stop everything you are doing right now and find yourself a way to own this absolutely fabulous Hunton RS43!

Rafa is the very first Hunton RS43 to get a complete restoration with full upgrades of electronics, systems and additions to her original specification

Just take a look in detail at the full works schedule at the end of this text!!!

You will read how Rafa was completely stripped out, had a full metallic paint spray in charcoal grey (including under the waterline) before being reassembled with pretty much new everything from new outdrives to covers.

From what I read, even in 2024 still nothing can match the Hunton RS43 for luxury, handling, performance and economy. Yes economy!

Top speed 48 knots
Cruising speed up to 38 knots
Approx 70 LPH at 35 knots

The Hunton RS43 deep Vee hull gives you a fast, soft, shore footed ride and is capable of the tightest of turns even at high speed, all a legacy of her hull design developed by Jeff Hunton over years of Offshore Powerboat Racing.

Below the Hunton RS43 has four berths in two separate cabins, large saloon, heads and shower.

In the cockpit there is a large sun bed at the rear, spacious seating curving around the dining table and wet bar. There is a double helm seat with drop down bolsters and another sunbed to the left.

Rafa has been dry berthed and covered since her restoration and is presented as new, turn key ready to go for the summer.

Please do not hesitate in contacting me if you have any questions.

All works carried out by JMP marine and engineers and project managers, together with Desty marine and other specialist sub contractors who are experienced in Hunton Boat construction ie Jon Elderfield
