I recently picked up a brand new F390 Outback  Explorer with a 25 HP Yamaha from Hunts Marine. I have been kayaking for many years and decided that I wanted a boat. I looked at many different boat sellers to try and find information on a small runabout that would suit my needs. My last stop was Hunts Marine where I spoke to John Pigot, a very knowledgeable member of the sales team. I had no experience with boating and he walked me through options based on my needs.  I saw the boat that I wanted and the rest is history. The boat is exceptional and does everything I need it to do and then some. The Yamaha is very powerful pushing the 3.9m pickle fork front with two big blokes in it to speeds of 22 knots in relatively calm open water. She is spritely yet comfortable with plenty of space for fishing. Perfect for skinny estuaries and quite capable in shuttling along and fishing in the harbour. The team at Hunts have been perfect to deal with, helping me with all my questions which I have had plenty. Jon Hunt the owner also gave me a crash course on the most appropriate propeller for my runabout after I called to ask a general question. Truth be told I wasn't expecting the boss to return my call for such a trivial question. That to me is indicative of a boss who really cares about customers, and his staff also exhibit the same values. I have made the decision based on the service I have received to get my boat looked at and serviced by Hunts moving forward even though I live far away. I have had my boat for two months now,  I use her once a week, it was a brilliant decision to get my perfect little weapon at Hunts Marine. Thank you,
