Review of the Hunter 240 by Bob Booth

Year built 2001  
Location of boat Oklahoma City,OK  
The boat is sailed on Lakes  
How the boat is used Weekends and longer  
Normal wind strength 16-22 knots  
Average size of crew solo  
Liveaboard? No  
Owner bought the boat in 2000  
If the clock could be turned back, would owner buy again? Yes  
Gear that's been added Auto pilot  
Structural or complex improvements No  
The boat's best features Water balest  
Problem areas in terms of design, materials, maintenance, etc. I find that with the roller foiling system it is differcult to handle the sheets while single handling the boat because the jams are flush with the cabin top and can't be released/set with ease while working the tiller.Any suggestion to improve on this???  
Sailing characterisitcs Good  
Motoring characterisitcs Have electric start with motor steared by ruder and at tims slow to respond.  
Liveability Comfortable  
The owner's experience in dealing with Hunter (if any) Ok  
The owner's experience with the boat dealer or broker, if any Very good
