The boat's best features HANDLES WELL IN ALL CONDITIONS. POINTS WELL GREAT STORAGE AND VERY SPACIOUS. ENGINE RUNS WELL AND IT HAS GREAT FEATURES LIKE AN INVERTER, AUTO PILOT ETC.... VERY WELL LAID OUT.  
Problem areas in terms of design, materials, maintenance, etc. AIR CONDITIONING WORKED WELL TILL IT DIED. MAIN SAIL FURLER HAD TO BE REPAIRED AND HAD TO WORK ON THE HEAT EXCHANGER  
Sailing characterisitcs POINTS WELL, VERY STABLE/ HANDLES LARGE WAVES WELL AND VERY FAST ON BEAM OR BROAD REACHRD. VERY GOOD TURNING RADIOUS AND RESPONSIVE TO THE HELM. AND IS VERY BALLANCED SO IT HOLDS A COURSE WELL  
Motoring characterisitcs MOTOR IS VERY SOLID... ALWAYS STARTS AND HAS ENOUGH POWER TO DO 6 KNOTS. VERY GOOD MILAGE  
Liveability EXTREMELY COMFORTABLE, LARGE SEPERATE SHOWER AND HEAD.... LOTS OF STORAGE  
The owner's experience in dealing with Hunter (if any) NO CONTACT EXCEPT WITH HUNTER OWNERS... JOE WAS VERY HELPFUL
