Hunter 25.5, 1984, Ultimate Pocket Cruiser
Purchased this boat with the intention of using her to cruise the Bahamas for a few months but weather cut the trip short. On my way back and will soon be ready to pass her on to her next lucky owner. Wow though, what a boat! Not only does she function, she's a gorgeous boat. Precision built with attention to the finest detail, fit and finish. Quality everywhere you look, she's like art in motion! This is a turn key cruiser! Had her surveyed when I bought her 9/2017, description of condition? "Bristol!" Very few boats meet that criteria!
This is not a typical Hunter 25.5, it's been refitted for world cruising and owned for the past 20 years by the founder of Solar Stik, Inc. (a marine and military power company).

Empty Pocket has been continually refined for nearly 20 years, using two reference points:
1.) The experiences of full-time cruising
2.) The goal of being as self-sufficient as technology and design will allow
She is built to be as "Maintenance-Free" as is possible while underway, but also provide the comforts and amenities normally found on 45' yachts. Empty Pocket is a much easier boat to handle, maintain, and cruise, at a fraction of the cost of a similarly-equipped larger vessel.
Thoughtful design, practical implementation, and meticulous maintenance is applied to every component, from her major onboard systems right down to the hand-held devices that were selected as part of her inventory. Empty Pocket is so complete that she could "leave the dock tomorrow" for a year-long cruise. She is professionally maintained every week and her critical gear is up-to-date.
