Review of the Hunter 280 by Jim Stouffer

Year built 1997  
Location of boat Colorado  
The boat is sailed on Lakes  
How the boat is used Weekends and longer  
Normal wind strength 10-15 knots  
Average size of crew 2-4  
Liveaboard?  
Owner bought the boat in 1997  
If the clock could be turned back, would owner buy again? Yes I would, in a flash.  
Gear that's been added Boat drinks, ice, and other toys,  
Structural or complex improvements outside speakers  
The boat's best features Its a great boat, lots of fun, and she turns on a dime.  
Problem areas in terms of design, materials, maintenance, etc. not a thing  
Sailing characterisitcs From 0 wind to the big winds withoutnotice the "mountains" are in the way so you cant see it comming.  
Motoring characterisitcs Its going to take some time for me tomaster the wheel.  
Liveability Lots of room and storage.Love it.  
The owner's experience in dealing with Hunter (if any) They dont respond as well as I wouldlike on the web.  
The owner's experience with the boat dealer or broker, if any The Ancorage in Colorado was great.She launched without a problem.
