Review of the Hunter 28 by Harold Robbins

Year built 1989  
Location of boat Hilton Head  
The boat is sailed on Bays, sounds, or protected salt water  
How the boat is used Day sailing  
Normal wind strength less than 10 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? Not this particular boat. It was to be a project, but since I am still a working guy I just don't have the time to do the work AND enjoy it....so I pay through the nose to get it where I want it. Also, I would like a larger vessel.  
Gear that's been added GPS, Jib rollerfuller, bimini....next is an autopilot.  
Structural or complex improvements
