Review of the Hunter 30_74-83 by Mark

Year built 1978  
Location of boat Perdido Key,Fl  
The boat is sailed on Bays, sounds, or protected salt water  
How the boat is used Weekends and longer  
Normal wind strength 10-15 knots  
Average size of crew 2-4  
Liveaboard? Yes  
Owner bought the boat in 2007  
If the clock could be turned back, would owner buy again? Yes It is a comfortable boat I have 12hp single cylinder yanmar.I would like any info on relocating the main sail track over the companionway and getting it out of the cockpit.Also info on possiblymoving shrouds to the out side of boat to free up walkway to the bow.Also adding a bowsprint to mount anchor on.Does anyone else have problems in reverse pulling hard to starboard or maybe my prop needs to be repitched. Any info on these issues anyone can provide would be greatly appreciated.Thanks Mark
