Structural or complex improvements see above  
The boat's best features Sturdy construction,actually overbuilt  
Problem areas in terms of design, materials, maintenance, etc. Roller furling,broken halyard at sea  
Sailing characterisitcs Fast,comes about easily,handles well under power,stiff in a breeze,dry decks  
Motoring characterisitcs Underpower always dock portside to,bring bow alongside dock and when you reverse stern moves in to dock,at sea do not run engine unless sea is calm because fuel will foam in fuel tank and engine will suck air and die.  
Liveability Small area but suitable for three people,comfortable,headrm,plenty of storage space  
The owner's experience in dealing with Hunter (if any) N.A.  
The owner's experience with the boat dealer or broker, if any Bought from private party  
Other comments Small boat but just the right size to do your own maintenance,mast can even be pulled by two people with homemade equipement
