Review of the Hunter 30_74-83 by Dennis Oelrich

Year built 1980  
Location of boat Tacoma Wa  
The boat is sailed on Bays, sounds, or protected salt water  
How the boat is used Weekends and longer  
Normal wind strength less than 10 knots  
Average size of crew 2-4  
Liveaboard?  
Owner bought the boat in 1999  
If the clock could be turned back, would owner buy again? I'll let you know after i've owned the boat for a while. First I need to get the blisters and the mast problem taken care of.  
Gear that's been added Auto pilot, Dodger, Wind Speed.  
Structural or complex improvements  
The boat's best features  
Problem areas in terms of design, materials, maintenance, etc. Blisters and a mast that appears to have dropped 3/4  
Sailing characterisitcs Not that familiar with the boat yet.  
Motoring characterisitcs Added a new 13X13 prop when the boat was hauled for inspection. Yanmar 20 and prop pushes the boat to hull speed.  
Liveability Looking forward to finding out.  
The owner's experience in dealing with Hunter (if any) No  
The owner's experience with the boat dealer or broker, if any No
