The boat's best features Roomy interior, island refrigerator and freezer, nice counter tops, aft cabin, little exterior teak to maintain  
Problem areas in terms of design, materials, maintenance, etc. Cramped cockpit, mainsail hard to raise and lower, plastic windows damaged by sun.  
Sailing characterisitcs I was initially worried about the large mainsail and small headsail but surprised how well the boat handled in winds 10-15knts  
Motoring characterisitcs Cruises around 6knts at 3000rpm  
Liveability Best I have seen in a 32. Love the layout and extra light from large windows. Head is fairly spacious for a 32.  
The owner's experience in dealing with Hunter (if any)  
The owner's experience with the boat dealer or broker, if any
