There is something to be said for a "cruising" sailboat that can cruise down the highway at 60 mph. If sailors were to sit down and add up the cost of slip rental and maintenance for keeping a small cruiser at a marina, a tailorable boat gains more appeal.
The Hunter 260 was introduced with the 1995 model year and remained in production through 2004. It offers accommodations not typically found on trailerable sailboats - a small galley, enclosed head and sleeping accommodations for six people. To package all this and still keep weight to a level that can be towed by most full-sized pick-ups and SUVs, Hunter uses a water ballast system rather than fixed ballast. Length overall of the 260 is 26' 3", beam is 9', draft is 1' 9" with the centerboard fully raised and 6' even with it lowered; weight, with no ballast and no gear, is an even 3,000 lbs.
This is an extremely well equipped Hunter 260 water ballast model which includes trailer and:
- Tiller Steering w/extension to motor so they steer together.
- Roller Furling head sail
- Full battened Main with bat-cars
- 2022 9.9 hp Suzuki outboard with electric start and power tilt
- ST 2000 Autohelm
- GPS
- VHF Radio
- Bimini
- Spinnaker
- Much more, take a look at full specifications
So well equipped all you have to add is water and start your sailing!

Manufacturer Provided Description
The Hunter 260 offers exciting performance, surprisingly complete accommodations, and real versatility. Below, there are amenities usually found on much larger boats including an enclosed head, full galley, convertible dinette, V-berth, and aft cabin. Long weekends or extended vacations are comfortable and truly livable aboard the Hunter 260. Hunter Marine's water-ballasted trailerables are comfortable cruisers that are easy to tow because the stability is left in the water, not on your trailer. Whether trailer sailing across the country or just across town, Hunter makes the experience truly easy with a rig that is safe, simple, and fast to set up and take down. Hunter Marine: Hunter Marine Corporation was founded in 1973 to build truly affordable sailboats. Warren Luhrs, Hunter's chairman, has personally logged thousands of ocean miles both single-handedly and shorthanded aboard his ocean racers. From these floating laboratories hundreds of new ideas have been born. The same B & R rig that powered his boats into the record books also power the Hunter fleet. A lot has changed over the years, but Hunter Marine continues its commitment of bringing the sailing public the best performing and most accommodating sailboats at a reasonable price.
