Owner bought the boat in 2000  
If the clock could be turned back, would owner buy again? Absolutely. We have enjoyed cruising and day sailing on our Hunter 37.5 TAX$EA for the last two years and look forward to spending many more years enjoying the adventures of sailing. We were avid Catalina owners-a 30 foot sloop for ten years and I swore I would upgrade to a Catalina. When we saw the Hunter, I was immediately taken by the huge and beautiful interior. I figured if my Husband liked the rest, it would be just fine with me. Well the boat has exceeded our expectations with its performance. It does beautifully close hauled as well as in light air. We are rather lazy sailors and enjoy letting OTTO our autohelm do much of the "work" of sailing. This boat is a true JOY. Micki Levine, First Mate, TAX$EA

The owner's experience in dealing with Hunter (if any)  
The owner's experience with the boat dealer or broker, if any Coney's Marine, Huntington, was very nice to deal with. We have recommended others to them
