General condition and any additional information

Looking for a reliable, classic cruiser with character and charm? This 1979 Hunter Cherubini 30 has spent its life in freshwater summers in Lake Superior. It is in excellent condition and has undergone numerous updates since I purchased it six years ago. It is ready for day sails or longer adventures on Lake Superior. It is located in a beautiful marina (portsuperior.com) and the slip is paid through the end of the 2025 season! I have enjoyed restoring this boat and spending great times with family and friends. It is a very comfortable place to hang out, even if you are just staying in the marina for the weekend. Its time to let it go in search of new adventures and let someone else buy it and enjoy!
