Review of the Hunter 28 by Matthew Wolf

Year built 1989  
Location of boat Monroe, MI  
The boat is sailed on The Great Lakes  
How the boat is used Weekends and longer  
Normal wind strength 10-15 knots  
Average size of crew 2-4  
Liveaboard? No  
Owner bought the boat in 2003  
If the clock could be turned back, would owner buy again? Yes I would.  
Gear that's been added Not realy, just lefovers from my old boat (22' Tanzer). Handheld VHF, GPS and spotlight.  
Structural or complex improvements None  
The boat's best features Design, cost.  
Problem areas in terms of design, materials, maintenance, etc. Not sure I like the keel's construction. It seems that many of the H28s built in 1989 have needed some repair.  
Sailing characterisitcs  
Motoring characterisitcs Don't let water in your fuel tank. I believe the fuel filler cap o-ring failed and allowed 2 gallons of water to mix in my tank.  
Liveability I would and may liveaboard "Wu Wei". Not fit for more than 2 people.  
The owner's experience in dealing with Hunter (if any) Been down to the plant. I still can't believe they don't have it anywhere near the ocean. It's very much in the middle of nowhere in FL. The people were great. Great to see how sailboats are made from start to finish. I didn't know Hunter made almost 90% of the boat, including all the woodwork.  
The owner's experience with the boat dealer or broker, if any ToledoBeachYachtSales.com in Monroe, MI is a good broker. Chuck Hutchens is a good guy.  
Other comments I want to see more center cockpit Hunters.
