I'm very familiar with Island Packet, and it's a typical IP in every respect. Real high-grade systems, perfectly done. To be honest, I've never really loved their looks, but I've always respected their installations and build quality.

The systems upgrades over earlier Hunters I've looked at were just phenomenal. They've improved exponentially, in my opinion.
Compared with the X-Yacht, I really, really preferred the steering setup. It was real comfortable back there, and the walk-through access to the transom and the swim-ladder setup, which was also very clever, was superb.
I was a little disappointed that it didn't have a gate in the lifelines as we tried to get aboard in four-foot seas. It would've been helpful.
