Review of the Hunter 33_77-83 by DALE YOUNG

Year built 1979  
Location of boat COCOA, FLORIDA  
The boat is sailed on Open ocean  
How the boat is used Weekends and longer  
Normal wind strength 23-30 knots  
Average size of crew  
Liveaboard?  
Owner bought the boat in 1996  
If the clock could be turned back, would owner buy again? ABSOLUTELY! THIS OLD BOAT SAILS LIKE A DREAM,AND IS SUPRISINGLY FAST FOR A CRUISING SAILBOAT. STRUCTURALLY SOUND AND COMFORTABLE.  
Gear that's been added I HAVE ADDED: 1)AUTOHELM-ST50 WIND,TRI-DATA,AND 4000 AUTOPILOT 2)MERMAID AIR AC/HEAT (16,500 BTU) 3)HEART INVERTER (FREEDOM 25 WLINK 2000) 4)GARMIN 175 MAP PLOTTER 5)DINGY DAVITS (ST.CROIX TYPE) 6)TV/VCR 7)STEREO 8)CUSTOM CANVAS,(DODGER,BIMINI) 9)RAIL SEATS 10)EZ JACKS SYSTEM 11)OUTDOOR SHOWER (PRESSURE,HOT/COLD)  
Structural or complex improvements NOTHING STRUCTURALLY NEEDED.  
The boat's best features LAYOUT,HANDLING,SAILING CHARACTERISTICS.  
Problem areas in terms of design, materials, maintenance, etc. NOTHING AS OF YET. (KNOCK ON WOOD!)  
Sailing characterisitcs BOAT SAILS VERY WELL. ALSO IN STRONGER WINDS(25 )  
Motoring characterisitcs NOTHING OUT OF THE ORDINARY.  
Liveability BOAT IS  
The owner's experience in dealing with Hunter (if any) I HAD SOME QUESTIONS REGUARDING WIRING, BUT I COULD'NT LOCATE ANYONE AT HUNTER WHO HAD BEEN THERE SINCE  
The owner's experience with the boat dealer or broker, if any BOUGHT BOAT THROUGH NASHVILLE SAILING CENTER (DON RIGGINS) DON TREATED ME RIGHT!
