Guided Tour - 2004 Hunter Aft Cockpit
PRICE DROP: $109,500 - 2004 Hunter 44 Aft Cockpit "Mischievous Mermaid"
Turn-key. Off-grid ready. Live-aboard loved. This isn't just another Hunter 44 AC - nearly $12,000 in recent solar and lithium upgrades make "Mischievous Mermaid" one of the most self-sufficient cruisers you'll find at this price. Read on, then call to schedule your viewing before she sails off with someone else.
Why This One Stands Out
Most boats this age come with tired batteries and a to-do list. This one comes with a modern off-grid power system already installed and dialed in:
- 800Ah of Renogy smart Lithium Iron Phosphate batteries (4 x 12V 200Ah) with Bluetooth monitoring
- 905W solar array (3 Renogy flexible panels + 1 LG rigid) with dual Victron solar controllers
- Renogy 12V 3000W pure sine inverter/charger
- Victron 30A DC-to-DC charger and Renogy battery monitor
Anchor out for days without running the engine. Cruise remote islands without hunting for marinas. The hard work - and the big spend - is already done.
As a live-aboard for her current owners, she's received daily attention, regular maintenance, and constant care. She's in excellent condition throughout and ready to go right now.
SPECS
Options
Raymarine chart plotter, autopilot, and depth/speed/wind displays, plus VHF radio and a stereo with cockpit speakers. Full cockpit enclosure, bimini, and dodger keep you protected in any weather, and rod holders, a BBQ grill mount, and paddleboard racks are ready for the fun part.
Designed by renowned naval architect Glenn Henderson and built by Hunter Marine in the USA, the 44 Aft Cockpit is a proven favorite among couples and families who want real sailing performance without giving up comfort. At 43and#39;2andquot; LOA with a 14and#39;6andquot; beam and 22,936 lbs displacement, she balances stability and speed beautifully. The fiberglass hull carries a fin keel with spade rudder and roughly 7,237 lbs of ballast for confident, predictable handling.
The Bandamp;R fractional rig flies 962 sq ft of sail, with in-mast furling main and furling genoa, genuinely easy single-handed sailing. She moves well in light air (5–10 knots), stands up to heavy conditions (owners report up to 40 knots), and tops out at a theoretical hull speed of 8.39 knots. Wide side decks, stainless grab rails, and a spacious cockpit with dual helm stations make her easy to move around. A large swim platform with ladder, hot/cold shower, and electric davits round out the stern.
- Engine: Yanmar 4JH3E 56 HP diesel - cruises at 6.5 - 7 knots, tops out near 8
- Tankage: 51 gal fuel | 125 gal water (two tanks) | 45 gal holding | 11 gal water heater
- Maneuvering: Bow thruster for easy docking in tight quarters
- Power: Shore power, inverter/charger, solar, and dedicated house/start banks
- Safety: Electric windlass with chain/rode, life raft mount, EPIRB-ready, multiple bilge pumps
Swing open the companionway doors and youand#39;re in the signature deck salon: panoramic windows, 6and#39;6andquot; headroom, and light everywhere. She sleeps up to 6 across two private cabins, a forward V-berth with en-suite head and shower, and an aft master stateroom with a king-sized bed, generous storage, and a private head with separate shower stall.
The salon features upholstered settees, a high-gloss expandable dinette (converts to a queen berth), and a proper navigation station. The U-shaped galley is genuinely chef-ready: three-burner propane stove and oven, double stainless sinks, separate refrigerator and freezer, microwave, and abundant storage. Teak-and-holly flooring, LED lighting, and reverse-cycle air conditioning/heat keep her comfortable in every season.
Whether youand#39;re planning coastal cruising, weekend escapes, or the extended voyage youand#39;ve been putting off, andquot;Mischievous Mermaidandquot; is clean, upgraded, and ready for her next adventure today. Boats this well-sorted at this price donand#39;t linger.
