Boat Review: Hunt 25 Surfhunter CC

Hunt Yachts in Portsmouth, Rhode Island, builds boats that fit its marquee – each one is a yacht. Every hull produced by this company turns heads (both male and female) as it passes by, attracting those with a taste for elegance as well as function. The Hunt 25 Surfhunter CC offers the same seaworthiness, classic good looks and ability to raise and catch fish found on boats much larger in size.

Performance Our test day couldn’t have been more beautiful: Sunny and calm with a gentle northerly breeze that didn’t generate any wave action even remotely challenging for the Surfhunter to negotiate. The best I could find was a large jet-powered motor-yacht, creating a 5-foot wake as it cruised past Brenton Reef Light on its way into historic Newport Harbor. Hitting that wake at cruising speed in both directions proved to be a non-event. Aligning the hull broadside to the wake to test its beam sea roll-moment, I found a short roll with very gentle transitions. Overall, the 25 Surfhunter cuts into head seas beautifully with no pounding and an extremely dry ride. I found it equally dry heading down-sea with nary a swerve at the back of the next wave.

The Surfhunter’s propulsion – an 8.1 liter, 375-hp Volvo Penta Ocean Series gas I/O – pushed her up on plane in just under 3 seconds. Wide-open throttle touched 42.2 knots at 4,850 rpm and the most economical cruising speed turned out to be a sweet spot right around 30 knots sipping a mere 13 gph.

Optional engine packages include the smaller 260-hp Volvo Diesel I/O or IB, 375-hp Volvo Ocean Series IB or a single 315-hp Yanmar diesel jet drive. I can tell you that maneuvering with the latter will amaze you. And before you say, “I have no interest in a sterndrive boat,” consider this: With the Ocean Series gas inboard coupled via a jackshaft to Volvo Penta’s nearly indestructible composite outdrive, you don’t need to worry about corrosion or hitting debris.

At dead-bait trolling speeds the boat produces an absolutely clear wake.

Our test boat reversed course in two boat lengths by leaning hard into the turn, smoothly bleeding off speed and never once pushing my passengers toward the outboard rail. When docking, you’ll surely appreciate that the Surfhunter backs up with exquisite control, again due to the counter-rotating propellers. About the only factor I didn’t like was the minor “wandering” the 25 exhibits at idle speed. Before the end of our sea trial, I had gotten used to it. And as soon as you boost the rpm slightly, it tracks straight and true.

Hunt makes its own adjustable helm and companion seats in-house and offers both seating and leaning-post configurations.

Around the cockpit, Hunt provides storage for three rods under the covering boards and two in each gunwale, with an option for more across the back of the hardtop. The transom holds a sink, freshwater washdown on a hose and a livewell.

For anyone with an appreciation for the fine yachting tradition, this little yacht overcomes the limitations of its size to epitomize the art of boatbuilding at its finest.

“The Best Rough Water Boats Out There. Period.”

Winn willard, president of ray hunt design, reveals his obsession with hunt yachts’ surfhunter 25..

An industry game-changer and pragmatic boat engineer, Winn Willard was on his first boat at age 5. Today, whether cruising Buzzards Bay on his Hunt Yachts Surfhunter 25 (the original Surfhunter model) or evolving Ray Hunt Design, his passion for the life aquatic remains deep. An accomplished naval architect and yacht designer with a staggering amount of boat designs in his portfolio, Willard has recently returned to his own favorite design — purchasing and captaining a Hunt Surfhunter 25 he named Creola .

“I’ve always wanted one,” Willard says of his new boat. “It’s an early hull we’ve updated over the years, and it’s a real sweetheart. In my opinion it’s the best 25-footer rough water boat out there. Period.”

Why is this design his favorite? It’s anchored in the history of Ray Hunt Designs and Hunt Yachts. Based in New Bedford, Mass., and founded in 1966, the 56-year-old Ray Hunt Designs is a naval architecture firm famous for a high-deadrise hull form known as the Hunt Deep V — helmed by Willard’s prescient vision. The result? A solution for performance, seakindliness, comfort, and safety in rough seas, all of which are readily apparent in the Surfhunter 25. 

“Hunt Yachts was created by me and a couple other partners,” Willard further explains. “It was developed and then sold to Hinckley in 2013. We take pride in the boats that carry the Hunt name. They must be the best in terms of rough water performance, because that’s what we are known for. The Hunt boats have more deadrise and aggressive Hunt design. They are, and will continually be, the best rough water boats out there.”

Willard’s penchant for boat building runs in his family. He grew up in Plymouth, Mass., right on the beach. He explains that since the age of 5 he “was always messing around with boats.” A carpenter and boatbuilder, Willard’s Dad built him is first boat — an eight-foot pram. “To keep me occupied, he would start up the little outboard motor, put me in the boat with my life jacket on, and throw out the anchor,” Willard explains. “I could putt-putt around my little boat as far as the anchor line would let me or before I’d run out of gas. My love for the water went from there.”

After attending college at the University of Michigan — one of the few places at the time that offered a degree in naval architecture — Willard went on to business school at Babson College and returned home for a part-time summer job. Back then, Boston was a hub for aspiring boat designers. “I took a roll of drawings under my arm, went to Hunt, and said, ‘Hey, need a draftsman?’” Willard says. “Ray Hunt’s partner hired me on a part-time basis, so I was going to school in the morning and working for him in the afternoon. One thing led to another and it’s essentially the only job I’ve ever had.”

Throughout his career he’s led an incredible amount of boat designs. He’s concepted sailboats, 100-foot motor yachts, even a 10-foot jet ski for Honda. He’s designed for Chris-Craft, Boston Whaler, Regal, Robalo, Cruisers Yachts, Four Winns, and many others. Yet what makes him most tick? “The more interesting boats are the custom yachts — when owners come in and want something special,” he says. “Those have been fun. But we also do commercial and military boats. And those are especially interesting because they have a job to do. In some cases, people’s lives depend on them. We continue to design boats all over the country and they sell themselves. That’s really rewarding.”

When asked why he thinks Ray Hunt Design is considered a true innovator, he quickly responds with the fact that the V-shape hull was the major pivot. “There was a total paradox shift with Ray Hunt Design,” he explains. “In the 1960s, all motorboats were typically flat bottom boats and had awful handling characteristics. Ray used to demonstrate with his early boats. He would take the boat up to high speed and then take his hands off the wheel and tie his shoelaces. And people would think, ‘Oh my God, don’t let go of the steering wheel!’ But the boat would keep going straight because of its design. It’s a recipe we continue to evolve throughout the years. We update, improve, and adapt to what’s going on in the world. Hinckley Sport Boats and Hunt yachts are more aggressive and a little higher deadrise, with the V shape in the hull, so they will go through the water as smooth as possible.”

Today, you’ll find Willard aboard Creola (named after a Jimmy Buffett son), cruising Buzzard’s Bay with his wife. He also cherishes rides to the Elizabeth Islands. “It’s like you’re in a different world,” Willard says. “There are no lights, no noise. And at the west end of Nantucket, it’s shallow water and you can go to Madaket. The city lights obscure the sky, but when you get out sto those places you realize there are a lot of stars up there. I’m very happy to just sit on my boat and stare at the stars.”

And why, after all these years of boat engineering, did he come back to the Hunt Surfhunter 25? “Being a designer and an engineer, I appreciate boats, cars, and machinery, for what they can do and how they perform. A Hunt boat is by far the best rough water boat. I wouldn’t want to own anything less.”

Manufacturer Provided Description The Hunt Surfhunter 25 is a legend on the nasty, choppy waters of Buzzard’s Bay where the summer sou’wester kicks up a short steep chop every afternoon trying to push all the water east of Newport up through the narrow pass of the Cape Cod Canal. The Surf Hunter was designed by Ray Hunt for these waters and originally built here in wood. She has a full 23-degree deadrise deep-V hull with a widely flaring bow to punch through the chop while staying dry.Hunt has added features and improved the cockpit layout by moving the engine forward. This allows space for an optional full-width stern seat or more fishing room with the seat removed. Updated features include: on deck stowage lockers; rod racks recessed under the side decks; a molded console with room for flush-mounted electronics; gas or diesel power; 40 mph speed with a 300 hp economical inboard-outdrive; a roomy cuddy for overnighting including V-berth, toilet, a large opening deck hatch and two portlights with screens, counter space for a stove with locker and drawers, and a vanity with sink and pressure water; low maintenance polyethylene trim above, teak trim below; and a teak trim package for the deck and cockpit is available to complete the classic look if desired.

INTRODUCTION

The Hunt Yachts Surfhunter 25 is a culmination of decades of design and engineering by one of yachting’s most influential designers.  Everything from the legendary Hunt Deep V hull, timeless aesthetics, superb build quality and thoughtful ergonomics are combined in such a remarkable way that it’s hard to believe you are on only 25 ft. of boat.  This sporty, capable small yacht is quite likely the finest small vessel you will ever own and operate.

SASS-SEA  is just about the perfect boat for enjoying the water in a multitude of ways.  From cruising around the Chesapeake Bay, fishing in Nantucket Sound, heading to dinner on the water with friends or towing the kids in a tube, the SURFHUNTER 25 excels in all areas.  The fabulously attractive lines of the pedigree Hunt Deep Vee hull form and will catch the eye of the experienced yachtsman and garner compliments in any harbor.

SASS-SEA is a 2005 Hunt Yacht Surfhunter 25′ with a newer 320 hp Volvo Penta and Ocean X (aluminum) outdrive.  She features a bow thruster, windlass, new canvas and good cushions.  Newly replaced items include heat exchanger, manifolds and risers, ECM (Electronic Control Module), several fuel and steering pumps, power steering actuator, alternator, bow thruster joystick, rebuilt head and head hoses, dash rocker switches, and serviced the bilge pumps and hoses.     Includes 2015 trailer.
