If the clock could be turned back, would owner buy again? Yes

The boat's best features Easy to sail. Forgiving  
Problem areas in terms of design, materials, maintenance, etc. Blisters. However, blisters are not the  
Sailing characterisitcs Great boat in all seas. Can be a bit wet.  
Motoring characterisitcs Boat is under powered with a 13 hp Yanmar. These 6-8 foot tides in Savannah generate some pretty big currents.  
Liveability Good  
The owner's experience in dealing with Hunter (if any) Below average. When requesting an owners manual for this older boat they sent be poor xeroxing of only a couple pages of the manual.Above average. When requesting info on a stiff rudder via e-mail the tech responded quickly and with very good advise.  
The owner's experience with the boat dealer or broker, if any
