I had the chance yesterday to get a behind the scenes look at Hunt Yachts facility in Portsmouth, RI. As you may have expected, it was not "bustling with activity", but the 4 or 5 boats that were making their way down the line were really impressive. The level of customization is really impressive. Hunts are almost always associated with a New England style runabout developed originally from rough water fishing boats (notice I did not say 'downeast style', as they certainly are not).
One example was a 25 harrier, basically a high end runabout, that was in the works for a midwest customer that wanted the boat as a wakeboard vessel. Hunt fabricated a really nice tower as you would see on a typical wakeboard boat, along with some other custom features. There were several others in various stages of completion, but no two were alike. I was impressed by the overall operation.
