"Best Powerboat" Surfhunter 25 Center Console
Newport For New Products Program
Newport, RI, September 14, 2007…With 50 entries from all over the world, judges of Newport For New Products picked the following winners…Ted Hood’s 55 Expedition motor sailer won the award as “Best Sailboat” and Hunt Yachts’ new Surfhunter 25’ Center Console was named “Best Powerboat” at the 37th Annual Newport International Boat Show in Newport, Rhode Island today. Awarded “Best New Boating Product” was the SeaKits Marine Maintenance System that provides high tech yacht and workboat maintenance and spare parts management.
The awards were part of the Newport For New Products program which spotlights the new boats and boating products that make the most significant contribution to the experience of recreational boating. Sponsored by Cruising World, Sailing World and Power Cruising magazines, the program recognizes the Newport Show’s unique place as the first United States boat show for the new model year and a show at which many domestic manufacturers choose to introduce newly launched products and foreign manufacturers first introduce their offering to the American marketplace. Judging is done by an independent panel of boating experts and awards are given based on innovation, value to the consumer and aesthetics. The Surfhunter 25’ CC is built on the established Surfhunter 25 hull with a complete design change that allows for a center console configuration with three power options to include a gas or diesel jackshaft stern drive, an inboard diesel shaft drive, or diesel water jet drive propulsion. The judges noted the “excellent build quality throughout” with “great details and design… right to the surprisingly roomy stand-up head”. In total, the judges chose the 25 as a boat that brings “New England flair to thecenter console market”. Nearly 50 boats and boating products were entered into the Newport For New Products program of the Newport International Boat Show, a display of over 700 boats in the water and on land around famous Newport harbor. In addition, several hundred exhibitors of boating equipment and accessories are part of the total of 800 exhibitors at the show this week. With both power and sail boats, the show includes areas fro trawlers, down-east style boats, fishing boats, catamarans, monohulls, cruising and racing sailboats plus kayaks and canoes.

New Center Console Surfhunter 25
Latest from Hunt Yachts Gives Owners Choice of IO, IB or Jet
The Surfhunter 25 CC is built on the well-proven Surfhunter 25 hull, designed by the renowned deep-V innovators C. Raymond Hunt Associates. The layout for the Surfhunter 25 CC offers remarkably useful cockpit space and gives this boat nearly ideal weight distribution. The console is virtually centered fore/aft and encloses a lockable, stand-up head (with marine toilet, sink and opening port); its width permits an instrument panel large enough for full-size nav-system graphic displays. T-top, canvas and/or bimini are easily added, together with trim options that can turn the Surfhunter 25CC into the ultimate deluxe motoryacht tender.
