Review of the Hunter 37.5 by Joseph J. Gizara

Year built 1989  
Location of boat Rock Hall, Md.  
The boat is sailed on Bays, sounds, or protected salt water  
How the boat is used Weekends and longer  
Normal wind strength 10-15 knots  
Average size of crew 2-4  
Liveaboard? No  
Owner bought the boat in 2006  
If the clock could be turned back, would owner buy again? So far Yes. But I want to hear what other people have experienced with there 1989 37.5 legend? I have owned it just a short time and I keep waiting for the "other shoe to fall" I have very good experiences with hunter 34 and 41 but that was just chartering that is why I bought the 37.5. What has other people seen in their hunters.  
Gear that's been added no  
Structural or complex improvements Davits added for a dinghy which hasn't yet been bought.  
The boat's best features It is very fast and the interior is superior to other boats.  
Problem areas in terms of design, materials, maintenance, etc. nothing yet  
Sailing characterisitcs good in light wind and fast in a close reach  
Motoring characterisitcs good but a little noisy.  
Liveability good  
The owner's experience in dealing with Hunter (if any)  
The owner's experience with the boat dealer or broker, if any They were very porfessional and helpful which surprised me.
