Review of the Hunter 240 by amstaudenmaier

Year built 1999  
Location of boat inland Ohio  
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? No  
Owner bought the boat in 2002  
If the clock could be turned back, would owner buy again? Yes, once we figured out all the bells and whistles. There are several important kinks to get worked out on a new boat for optimum use like centerboard painter ease of use, self-limiting shackles, etc. And a bimini is indispensable. Once you can get those important things done, it's a very pleasant boat to sail and race.  
Gear that's been added Shackles that stay together (i.e., pin won't fall out in the water by accident) Raised, angled Cleats for jib sheets Bimini and mast-head fly  
Structural or complex improvements Adjusted and fared the passageway for centerboard painter. Also added larger block. Still very difficult to raise.  
The boat's best features  
Problem areas in terms of design, materials, maintenance, etc.  
Sailing characterisitcs Weather helm in a breeze.  
Motoring characterisitcs dependable motor and motors well.  
Liveability N/A  
The owner's experience in dealing with Hunter (if any) ?NA/  
The owner's experience with the boat dealer or broker, if any SO SO.
