Owners opinions of the Hunter 260 | Sailboat Owners Forums
2000年1月8日 · The galley is crowded but OK. The 260 has a one-burner stove while the H26, I believe, has a 2-burner. The one burner is a minor drawback.

Emptying Water Ballast - Hunter 260 | Sailboat Owners Forums
2017年11月26日 · Hi, I own a Hunter 23.5 water ballast and there are several other Hunter water ballast boats in the marina. Once every couple of years the lake freezes and not all of us pull the boats out. We do blow with a vac in reverse mode to empty the tanks. Make sure valve is open fully so the gasket doesn't take the pressure.
