Review of the Hunter 25_73-83 by tom donovan

Year built 1978  
Location of boat sarasota, fl  
The boat is sailed on Bays, sounds, or protected salt water  
How the boat is used Day sailing  
Normal wind strength 10-15 knots  
Average size of crew 2-4  
Liveaboard? No  
Owner bought the boat in 1999  
If the clock could be turned back, would owner buy again? yup  
Gear that's been added equip to bring lines to cockpit, solar charger, rework electric system,  
Structural or complex improvements no  
The boat's best features stability, room  
Problem areas in terms of design, materials, maintenance, etc. lighting fixture connections, finding spare parts  
Sailing characterisitcs solid stable sailing (given a clean bottom) quick, great response to the tiller  
Motoring characterisitcs ok, with a small 9.9 on a bracket, would prefer some other motor configuration  
Liveability for a weekend it's fine even a week cruise would be ok - longer than that would be a challenge  
The owner's experience in dealing with Hunter (if any) never dealt with them  
The owner's experience with the boat dealer or broker, if any brokers are brokers  
Other comments with a fixed keel drawing 4 ft, and an outboard power configuration, the bilge is "popcorn" dry and there has never been any water intrusion (just great!) we have a 2" stainless post mounted directly beneath the mast to the keel. it results in no cabin deformation due to rigging adjustments. its a solid enjoyable boat.
