Review of the Hunter 37.5 by ddrewry

Year built 1994  
Location of boat Guntersville, AL  
The boat is sailed on Rivers  
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 2016  
If the clock could be turned back, would owner buy again? Yes  
Gear that's been added bimini, GPS with downvu sonar, currently adding A/C  
Structural or complex improvements - Cut 8.5 ft off mast and turned it into a masthead rig (bridge clearance in normal cruising areas). - moved forestay out of anchor locker to a standard stemhead fitting - cut wings off of the bulb keel and faired to bulb shape. Total removed including saw shavings = 156 lbs. No apparent difference in sailing/boat handling but drastically improves shallow water risk and debris/seaweed clinging. - added feathering prop - worth the high cost  
The boat's best features Livability and shallow draft  
Problem areas in terms of design, materials, maintenance, etc. only issue is minimal outside locker space. havent yet figured out how to add a generator which would be great for summer cruising along the rivers and waterways  
Sailing characterisitcs handles very well, very responsive to helm inputs, very stable in the water whether at dock or underway  
Motoring characterisitcs excellent, no prop walk with feathering prop in reverse and instant response  
Liveability very liveable interior,  
The owner's experience in dealing with Hunter (if any)  
The owner's experience with the boat dealer or broker, if any  
Other comments looking forward to much use
