I'm glad you got a Bayport too. I wonder if I was a source of influence for getting one as I got one exactly a month and a half ago and also from Clay. It feels pretty cool to collect some models that have just been discontinued. We feel like we did a good move. I recently acquired a Casablanca Ventura and a Hunter Bayport, both of theses have been discontinued earlier this year. The Beacon Hill must be very recent to be in that finish. Do you have the age of both of them? Did you got them in their original boxes? My Bayport came in it's original box but was used just a little. I had no idea these were coming actually. He'd offered both in the past and I declined for the time being, but to be clear I didn't pay. I'm under obligation to reciprocate if I find something he wants though, and he knows I'll follow through. Yes I'm especially glad to have the Bayport now that it's done for. Same for my Venturas, very glad I got them while I easily could. The Beacon Hill is newer, it has the new logo. It's from 2011 by the looks of it, and the Bayport from 2009 I think. Both came in the Beacon Hill box, so no they're not really in the original packaging. That is fine by me though since neither is perfectly brand new. Plus this way I can keep both in the same box, I'm out of room so any combining that can be done is a plus. I was still adding more. Hehe! Oh, that's a special deal. I suppose theses very recent Hunters all indicates ''Made in China''. Around 2000-2004, Hunter had a lot of their fans made in Thailand. Do they still use the long and narrow shaped vents at the bottom of the motor?

Whoops, too fast lol!
It was very nice of him for sure.
Yes, all China.
On the motor itself? The Bayport had them, I didn't take note on the Beacon Hill but I'm sure it does, most of the current Hunters do have them.

Well, I meant 4-blade only. What about Hunter Hotel Original?

I'm not talking about any of those. The hotel original is a classically styled fan.
On the subject of the Brighton, it is just a hunter coastal breeze plus 44" with different blade arms. I believe it is a 42" as well, instead of the 44" span of the coastal breeze plus.

I just installed an AB Hunter Beacon Hill in my friend's parents' house to replace an AB 42" CEC GE-Vent from 1988, which immediately got donated to Habitat.
I put a globe light on The Beacon Hill which makes it look more retro, plus it feels more retro due to the amount of air it cranks out!

The Coastal Breeze Plus uses arms that look like ovals, the Brighton uses more decorative ones.

I have a 44" Coastal Breeze Plus in my collection. It has different arms than a Brighton does.

I think you guys are all right and are arguing over discrepancies in wording, I haven't seen a single comment that was completely off the right path. So quit posting the same argument over and over because I find it extremely cumbersome to read through these when everyone is right.

It seems like Vincent and Jeremy don't understand what each other are saying. Vincent meant that Brighton and Coastal Breeze Plus have different arms, and Jeremy meant that Brighton, Beacon Hill, and Bayport have the same arms.
