Need Your thoughts and review on a 1994 Hunter 26 WB

• Ask A Hunter Owner

I am now looking at a 1994 Hunter 26 W B boat to buy... I would like to hear your thoughts on this sailboat. I also have spent about an hour trying to find out its weight with the trailer so I can tow the thing... My Jeep Cherokee has a 5000 lb rating with a 4.o Liter 6 cylinder. I sail rivers, the NJ coast and the Chesapeake. I currently own a Macgregor 25 with a swing keel. I like the shallow draft these type of boats will provide. All the good and bad about comments are welcomed. I was also looking at a Mac 26x and a Catalina 25 WB. My friend suggests a shallow draft too. I want to trailer it and a keel boat up on a trailer must be a problem to launch and retrieve. I like to sail and not run aground or be limited to where I can go. Beaching a keel boat? Unless it's a Hake or Southerly or another swing keel boat beaching is impossible. I know that a lot of mono hull owners do not like the water ballasted boats but I haven't heard any real complaints that have a valid reason to avoid a w b boat. Thanks in advance for your reply...

Bruce, I don't know the 26 Hunter you are looking at but I have owned a Mac26S and a Hunter 260, both water ballasted boats. I liked both of them and found they sailed very well. I trailered them all over, as much as 1800 miles one way. I lived on the Hunter for over 2 months while cruising down the Florida east coast and Keys. I liked the Hunter very much it was 2005. It was heavy to tow and I used a full sized 4x4 pickup truck, and was glad I did not have anything smaller. If you pose questions on the trailer sailors forums you may get more reply's from those with experience with these boats. good luck, Bob

Bruce... I would highly recommend reading George's site cover to cover at: http://kobernus.com/hunter260/index.html Although it is dedicated to the H260, there are several comments on the H26 directly and almost everything within the pages applies. I had an H26 for 5 years and was extremely happy with it. Sailed very well and, with the proper mods and upgrades, was very comfortable at anchor. Our longest journey was 17 days through Desolation Sound in BC and she served us well. The soundness of that boat led us to our present H340. I would think that your GVWR of 5000 pounds will be a little light. George's site will show you a trailer/boat weight of nearly 6000 pounds dry. Good luck in your search.  

cephius (Dave)

I tow my fully loaded H260 with a Jeep Cherokee. My marina is about 60 miles of country road away. Never had a problem.  

I previously owned a Mac 25, and moved up to a Hunter 26, also a 1994. First, I will say the Hunter 26 is the most wonderful boat I have owned, and probablly the best I will ever own. It sailed very nicely, had lots of cabin space, a real enclosed head with sink, a workable galley, a nice queen size bed for the captain and first mate, and enough sleeping space for out 3 grandchildren. It is a great boat. I towed it with a Jeep Liberty, also rated for 5000 lb, and it was not great, but adequate. It probably is no harder to rig to sail, or get back on the Trailer, than the Mac 25. I felt the Mac 25 and the Hunter 26 were about equally tender, or stiff, if anything I thought the Hunter might be a biit stiffer than the Mac 25. If you can afford it, I would easily choose the Hunter over the Mac, you won't regret it.  

I will also say that shallow draft is very important to me. If I had deep water I would go with a keelboat. All boats are a compromise, the H26 is a great shallow draft, trailer boat.

Towing questions We towed our H26 with a succession of Full Size SUVs - Expedition, Suburban, Avalanche. None of those vehicles ever felt challenged by towing the boat, in fact it trailers pretty well. The full load displacement was supposed to be 5100 lbs., with ballast drained it is lighter. I honestly think you might be pushing it with the Cherokee. We towed our H23.5 with a 2 door 95 Blazer with a 4.3 V6. The Blazer didn't lack for power, but the short wheelbase and brakes seemed challenged.  

Crazy Dave Condon

Bruce; The dry wieght of the boat only is appx. 3000 pounds. with the wieght of the trailer and motor and gear, it can be anywhere from 4500 to 5000 but again motor and gear will make the final determination. You probably have brakes on one axle. Before towing, make sure the brakes and lights work properly. After 20 miles, pull over and check the tie downs. The 260 is basically the 26 except the design of the cockpit allows for installation of wheel steering and easier axcess ont the boat. In addition, the forward hatch is different. Otherwise pretty much the same. One other thing on the tie down strap on the back. get the 2inch width and twist the strap a few times on the side to keep it from slapping against the hull. If you have any more questions, feel free to email me at [email protected] as I know the boats too well. Crazy Dave Condon  

Crazy Dave, that is a great idea about twisting the tie down straps. Always learning something new here. Thanks Chris  

You are welcom Chris. I even have a better one. Launching a Hunter 33 with the mast up off a trailer behind my dooley and pulling it out or better yet, launching a Hunter 320 with mast up with a crane over a bridge 40 feet down into a lake. feel free to contact me anytime my friend. crazy dave condon  

It is good to see that Crazy Dave has returned to the forums and is sharing his expertise. He served us well when we had a 260 and continues to keep in touch after we got 12foot-itis and we bought "Carolina" from him in 2005.

The Top 15 Most Unforgettable Airbnbs in Miami

We’ve done the research to lay out the very best Airbnbs in Miami. On this list, you’ll find everything from a charming cottage to a stylish condo.

Miami, Florida is famous worldwide for its gorgeous beaches, high-rise condos, and superhot nightlife. As a full-time traveler, whenever I tell someone I am from the United States, their next remark is often, “Oh, I want to go to Miami.” It blows my mind how many times I have heard this statement across the world. Miami draws ‘em in. She’s an attention grabber! The Magic City has a vibrant culture, with a distinctly Latin flair, awesome eats, and some pretty incredible vacation rentals too!

In this travel guide, we have gathered all the most unique and unforgettable Airbnbs in Miami for you and your crew. Whether you want a condo with a beachfront address or a cottage in Little Havana, we have lined up the best of them. Airbnb has had an upgrade recently, let’s take a look at the new platform and how we chose our favorites!

Explore the Magic City with Let’s Roam!

We might have a little crush on the place, seeing as we have developed several scavenger hunts in Miami and the surrounding area. Whether you want to explore the Latin Culture in Brickell , peruse urban art downtown , or prance through Miami Beach , we have you covered with an interactive and competitive tour. Download our app and get to exploring!

Why We Love Airbnb

Airbnb provides travelers with almost unlimited choices. What started as a company that rented our air mattresses in someone’s living room has grown into a platform featuring millions of vacation rentals, of every type, in almost every country in the world. Private hosts offer thoughtful personal touches, homey spaces, and local travel advice for the same (or lower) price than a typical hotel. Some of these touches can save you major bucks! If you have a dedicated workspace, then you don’t need to spend time and money hunting for the perfect coffee shop or communal workspace. When your vacation rental comes with a full kitchen, then you save big money on restaurant bills. If they offer free bikes, you save on Uber fees. You get the gist!

Pro Tip: Know yourself and your needs! If you are an adventure lover with a packed vacation itinerary, then don’t get lured into the most beautiful suite on the platform, you aren’t going to spend time there. If vacation means momma isn’t cooking, then don’t spend extra on an apartment with a full kitchen. It’s a waste, and your money will be better spent at the local cantina.

Airbnb Has Gotten a Makeover

Airbnb has a brand-spanking-new look! The new platform is user-friendly, and they have added categories and filters to help you find the perfect property—without searching hundreds of places that don’t fit the bill. Just click on one of the new category buttons on the home page, such as OMG!, tiny homes, treehouses, or yurts. Then, open the “filters” section and narrow down your choices by amenities that matter to you. For instance, search only homes with three bedrooms, a swimming pool, a hot tub, high-speed WiFi, or just about anything else on your wishlist.

The new platform has added three quality categories as well:

Airbnb Plus

This category includes only homes that have been inspected in person and are verified to have the highest quality and design standards.

Airbnb Luxe

According to Airbnb, their Luxury Retreats include “A selection of pristine, expertly designed homes with high-end amenities, services, and dedicated trip designers.” These come with a big price tag, but they are equal in quality and service to the best all-inclusive resorts.

The host of your Airbnb is important! You want someone who is trustworthy! Superhosts are verified every three months to have excellent ratings, low cancellation rates, high response rates, and more than ten stays.

How to Choose the Best

There is a tactic to find the best properties on Airbnb. For this guide, we only featured homes listed by Airbnb Superhosts. Superhosts are routinely evaluated by the platform and get excellent reviews about their property and hospitality, so you can be confident in your choice. We also only listed homes with a guest rating of 4.9 out of 5 or higher (save a couple of new listings). Guests often meet the host and develop a personal report on Airbnb. This affects the reviewing process, as guests don’t want to hurt the host‘s feelings or make it personal. So we have taken only the highest reviews.

Pro Tip: When you are searching for properties, make sure that the home has enough reviews for the score to have meaning. A 4.85 with 2,000 reviews may be a better property than a 5-star with 10 reviews. We all know that you just can’t please some people!

Practical Note: Prices on Airbnb often vary by the number of guests, the length of stay, and the day of the week you choose to stay. We have set the parameters for two guests to stay for one week. Most hosts offer substantial discounts for staying a full week. Airbnb also charges a service fee, and some hosts charge cleaning fees. Be sure to double-check the final amount before you finalize your stay!

The Most Stunning Airbnb Rentals In Miami

Known for its renowned nightlife and picture-perfect beaches, Miami is a star-studded city that encourages a great time at all hours of the day and night. From hitting the beach for a variety of water sports or sunbathing, to exploring the more historical side of this heavily Latin-influenced city, there are several reasons to plan a trip to this southern Florida metropolis. While Miami is known for having very lavish and upscale resorts and beachside hotels, there are also an abundance of Airbnbs available for travelers who prefer a more authentic or low-key experience. There are also Airbnbs that offer great value for more budget-conscious travelers as well.

Though there are plenty of modern, penthouse-style rentals that boast pristine ocean views and luxurious amenities, Airbnb also gives visitors the option to experience a more peaceful and private accommodation in Miami. From a nautical-inspired stay on a sailboat to colorful homes in Little Havana, these are the most stunning Airbnb rentals in Miami, according to House Digest .

Take in the ocean views at this luxury Airbnb

If ocean views are a priority during your visit to Miami, this luxury apartment is sure to satisfy. Centrally located close to everything you need from downtown to South Beach, this stunning apartment is the perfect place to call home base for the ultimate Miami experience, as noted by the  Airbnb listing . Between the modern furniture and upscale décor , this rental sets the tone for a lavish weekend. Best of all, the apartment has a huge balcony for you to enjoy during your stay, boasting epic ocean views and a cool sea breeze.

Once you are ready to venture out of the luxurious Airbnb, head down to the pool to swim some laps or lounge and tan. In addition to the pool, the building also houses a gym, pool table, and ping pong table for communal use. Though it is an apartment building, the amazing amenities and services make a vacation at this rental feel more reminiscent of a hotel or resort.

Check out the colorful Casa Havana Historic House

With bright orange stucco walls and a deep blue trim, it is nearly impossible to miss the Casa Havana Historic House in Little Havana. According to the Airbnb listing , this property is totally gated and secure, giving you optimal privacy and protection as you soak up the Miami sun. At 1,500 square feet, this house can fit up to six people across two spacious bedrooms, meaning you'll be able to spread out and feel right at home during your stay. The white and bright interior has some great pops of color that really contribute to the Cuban vibe that the house embodies. However, the blue hues throughout the kitchen set it apart from the rest of the house, making it a great spot for cooking and gathering.

While the house has all of the necessary amenities such as Wifi and central AC, the front porch is one of the best parts of this rental. Lounge in the hammock or take a seat and enjoy a nice cup of Cuban coffee in the morning before heading out to explore the city.

According to the listing on Airbnb , the Current Penthouse is a two-story accommodation that boasts breathtaking ocean views from nearly every part of the property. With more than 5,000 square feet of space, the Current Penthouse can accommodate up to 10 people, making this a wonderful option for a group or special occasion. From the sky-high ceilings to the massive glass windows that allow you to feel connected to the ocean even from the interior of the house, this rental truly is one-of-a-kind.

While the majority of the interior is very modern and contemporary, with an abundance of cool tones and minimalistic décor, there is nothing quite as mind-blowing as the floating staircase. Enjoy uninterrupted views as you ascend upstairs where you'll find access to a large terrace that offers front-row seating for sunset or sunrise. Though amazing restaurants and nightlife are only a short drive away, convincing yourself to leave this rental might be more difficult than you expect.

Indulge in an upscale visit at this luxurious Miami home

While staying in a more traditional house might not be the norm when visiting Miami, this two-bedroom home near the city's Design District gives guests a true taste of Miami while still offering them some space and privacy, per the  Airbnb listing . If going out to the bars and clubs is not at the top of your list, this luxurious and upscale home provides a more peaceful and low key-stay in this otherwise busy city. Having been renovated, this mid-century-inspired home has two bedrooms and two bathrooms, making it a great place for a group of four to call home base during their travels.

In addition to a beautiful and inviting interior that has a lot of neutral tones and calming art, this rental also has a huge private patio and garden , meaning you can catch a glimpse of that fresh Miami breeze without even having to venture off the property. Some fun highlights in regards to the décor include a palm tree-shaped lamp, beach-inspired artwork, and velvet blue barstools in the kitchen.

Chill by the pool at this bright Miami bungalow

According to the Airbnb listing , this colorful and vibrant Miami bungalow was named as one of the best Airbnbs according to Travel + Leisure in 2019. This studio guest house can accommodate two guests for an intimate stay that is still spacious enough to avoid being cramped or uncomfortable. With a private entrance and patio, guests of this beachside bungalow will still be able to find a solid amount of isolation in this guesthouse. Though there is not a full kitchen, there is a small kitchenette for simple cooking. Plus, you'll most likely want to walk to all of the surrounding restaurants and cafes rather than stay at home for your meals.

One of the most beloved amenities at this rental is definitely the on-site pool that is surrounded by bright green, lush vegetation, creating a tropical and serene setting. Take a dip or lay out on one of the lounge chairs and catch up on a good book while soaking in some sun. The exterior of the house also has some fun and funky lights as well as a quirky "Hotel" sign that adds to the retro aesthetic.

Get a taste of Little Havana at this BoHo Tropical Oasis

The BoHo Tropical Oasis creates a serene environment for Miami visitors to reset and restore during their stay. Per the listing on Airbnb , this adorable-bungalow style rental is a private guesthouse that is situated next to a larger main house in the historic Little Havana district. Though the hosts do live in the main house full time, guests of the BoHo Tropical Oasis will have full privacy and exclusive use of the backyard during their stay.

Though the neighborhood is very quiet and low-key, guests are able to simply walk a couple of blocks over to Calle Ocho for some amazing bars, restaurants, and Cuban-inspired cafes. Since it is a studio, the space is definitely limited inside, but it is made to be totally cozy with bright walls and simple décor. In the evenings, enjoy a drink under the twinkling string lights on the patio before heading out for a fun night on the town. Keep in mind that the rental has no TV, meaning you'll want to take advantage of other activities to occupy your time.

Take a five minute stroll to the beach from SOBE penthouse

Looking to live the penthouse lifestyle while in Miami? Look no further than this stunning SOBE Penthouse. According to the  Airbnb listing , this rental is located within walking distance of the beach, meaning you can hop out of your front door and step onto the sand in just a few minutes. The interior of the house has a trendy yet beach-inspired style to it, making it the perfect environment for a beachside getaway. Though it isn't panoramic, the balcony of the property allows guests to catch a glimpse of the ocean, meaning you can smell the sea breeze and watch the sky change to various shades of pink during sunset.

Some other highlights of this Airbnb include an on-site washer and dryer, streaming services on the television, and complimentary beach chairs for you to use while catching some rays down by the ocean. Between the two spacious bedrooms and the massive couch in the living room, this penthouse loft can house up to five guests at a time without issue.

Stay in a piece of Coconut Grove history at this refurbished water tower

Perhaps one of the most unconventional rental on our list, this historic water tower located in Coconut Grove has been turned into an Airbnb so that travelers may experience a Miami stay unlike any other. Per the Airbnb listing , this water tower was built in 1925, though it has since been completely renovated to offer you a comfortable and cool lodging experience. With a lofted bedroom and a small sofa bed, this rental can fit either three adults or two adults and two children. Once you arrive and unpack, guests of this Coconut Grove water tower are able to walk up the street to the marina where they can catch an amazing sunset or stop by a local restaurant for some fresh seafood.

Also, right next to the property is the largest Banyan tree in Coconut Grove, meaning you'll definitely need to take some time to explore this magnificent piece of nature.

Explore Sofi while staying at this SOBE Loft

According to the listing on Airbnb , this fun SOBE loft is for "fabulous people only." With unique furniture and colorful accents, it makes sense that this loft was professionally designed. With a full kitchen that allows you to spread out as you cook and two bedrooms with one king- and one queen-sized bed, this hip loft can host up to four guests at a time. One of the most show stopping features of the house is definitely the slim spiral staircase that leads up to a cozy loft and plush bed. 

Some other great amenities of this SOBE loft include an in-house washer and dryer, a 50-inch Smart TV, and a stunning bathroom with marble walls and a glass-sliding bathtub and shower. Though there isn't much of an outdoor area to enjoy, this Airbnb is located in Sofi, which is one of the most elite areas of South Beach. Simply walk down the street and enjoy prime access to some of the best and most sought-after restaurants in the entire city.

Sleep on the sea in the Hunter 26 Sailboat

If you're looking to take full advantage of being in beach-side Miami, explore the idea of staying in the Hunter 26 Sailboat. This special Airbnb curates an incredible stay for guests who are interested in spending as much time on the ocean as possible. Per the listing on Airbnb , the Hunter 26 Sailboat is anchored in Key Biscayne Bay, allowing you to gain an entirely new perspective of the city. From some of the most amazing sunsets you'll ever see to the calming sound of the lapping waves at night, spending the weekend on this unique rental is sure to make for one of the most memorable lodging experiences of all-time.

Being that it is a literal sailboat, the space is pretty limited, meaning it is only possible for one to two people to enjoy a comfortable stay. In addition to the small sleeping quarters, there is also a nice dining area with booths and a table where you can enjoy meals or a nice glass of wine in the evenings. While the boat does have all of the basic amenities needed, it is unlikely that you'll be spending too much time underneath the cabin. From kayaking to sunbathing on the plush cushions in the back, the Hunter 26 Sailboat is the ultimate accommodation for those who enjoy a great mixture of adventure and relaxation.

Enjoy a one-of-a-kind experience at this tiki hut pool home

This unique tiki hut home offers travelers the opportunity to experience a tropical stay in the heart of Miami. According to the listing on Airbnb , the property is surrounded by lush vegetation and more than 40 large palm trees, making you feel as though you are living a true Miami lifestyle. Unlike what you'll find at most condos and hotels, this house also gives a decent amount of privacy due to the tall fence that surrounds the property. Also, if you are looking to hit the beach or dine out, this tiki hut home is only minutes from the famous Miami Beach and surrounding restaurants.

With four bedrooms and four beds, this Airbnb is great for those traveling in a larger group; it is able to fit up to eight people at a time between the main house and the detached guest house. While the interior of the home is very inviting and aesthetically pleasing, the backyard is where you'll want to spend most of your time. From the private heated pool to the lavish outdoor seating area that is complete with a fridge and HD television, guests have everything they need to indulge in an island-inspired getaway.

Kick back at this mid-century modern condo

Located within The Fontana, this Miami condo is just a short walk to some of the best nightlife and shopping on Lincoln Road in South Beach, as noted by the  Airbnb listing . The style of the building is very fitting for South Beach, with an open layout and atrium in the center and beautiful glass mosaic swimming pool available for all residents to use. The condo itself is a pretty spacious 700 square feet, and it is furnished with contemporary pieces like leather chairs and vibrant paintings and photographs. Though there is only one bedroom, the large sofa in the living room is able to be converted into a plush bed, meaning that four guests can stay comfortably at a time.

In the kitchen you will find all stainless steel appliances and cabinets, giving the space a totally modern and professional look. The master bedroom has a similar style with an abundance of cool and grey tones throughout, though it is unlikely that you'll be spending too much time indoors being that the best of Miami awaits you right outside your door.
