Review of the Hunter 27_75-84 by Greg Johnson

Year built 1979  
Location of boat Georgia, Lake Thurmond  
The boat is sailed on Lakes  
How the boat is used Day sailing

Average size of crew 2-4  
Liveaboard? No  
Owner bought the boat in 1994  
If the clock could be turned back, would owner buy again? Yes  
Gear that's been added Replaced broken gear only  
Structural or complex improvements  
The boat's best features Size, hull, handling, weight  
Problem areas in terms of design, materials, maintenance, etc. Data devices, depth, wind speed and direction, engine  
Sailing characterisitcs Responsive even in light air. Handles well in heavy air w/shortened sail (sailed in 30 knot wind conditions). Great at anchor.  
Motoring characterisitcs Worked great till engine quit in 1998. 8 hp inpoard deisel did everything I requested. Now use outboard that just doesn't work as well.  
Liveability Very livible for two for short terms. 7 days or less. No shower, head removed. Stove replaced with a Coleman cook top.  
The owner's experience in dealing with Hunter (if any) They were unable to give me any info re hull shape when I was trying to obtain a trailer in order to move boat.  
The owner's experience with the boat dealer or broker, if any Bought from individual.
