Brokers comment. I have personally know this boat and its owners for nearly 20 years, I'm delighted to see that she has been restored to such a glorious condition. As broker I specialise in classic powerboats of the 1960's and 70's, with a particular focus on the Huntsman 28. In the last 3 years I have sold 9 Huntsman 28's, nobody knows these boats better than me and I can explain to you all the reasons why this is the best Huntsman 28 you can buy.
