Review of the Hunter 25.5 by David Elrod

Year built 1985  
Location of boat Guntersville, AL  
The boat is sailed on Lakes  
How the boat is used Day sailing  
Normal wind strength 10-15 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? Yes, very definitely. This is a great boat to learn how to sail on. It is stable and forgiving. The salon is roomy and light.  
Gear that's been added None yet. My boat was pretty well equipped when I bought it. I would like to have roller reefing -- but that is just a wish.  
Structural or complex improvements None needed.  
The boat's best features Stability, roominess, ease of handling, quality of overall construction.  
Problem areas in terms of design, materials, maintenance, etc. Small leaks in anchor locker. Mast light does not work.  
Sailing characterisitcs  
Motoring characterisitcs  
Liveability Very good. Roomy and comfortable. My wife, son and I have spent the night aboard several times.  
The owner's experience in dealing with Hunter (if any) We took a family tour of Hunter while passing through central Florida. The folks at the factory were very hospitable and accomodating. The tour was very interesting.  
The owner's experience with the boat dealer or broker, if any
