The Hunter 192, introduced in the early 1990s, represents a pivotal shift in Hunter Marine’s approach to the trailerable pocketcruiser market. While the brand had previously found success with the Cherubinidesigned Hunter 19 of the 1970s—a heavy, fixedkeel boat—the 192 was a completely different animal, engineered for the burgeoning "waterballast" era. Designed to be towed by a standard family vehicle and launched in shallow water, the 192 utilized a hollow hull section that filled with roughly 600 pounds of lake or sea water once deployed. This design allowed the boat to maintain a remarkably low towing weight of approximately 2,000 pounds while providing the necessary righting moment once under sail. The model was so successful in its niche that it eventually dropped the "2" suffix in later production years, becoming simply the Hunter 19, and paved the technical way for its larger siblings, the Hunter 23.5 and 26.
