Review of the Hunter 31_83-87 by robert

Year built 1985  
Location of boat charlotte harbor, 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?  
Owner bought the boat in 1990  
If the clock could be turned back, would owner buy again? very happy with the boat, but if had to do over again, would have bought a hunter 34  
Gear that's been added 135% genoa, fully battened main, dutchman system, bimini and dodger, 9'6" rollup dinghy, 8 hp ob, self-tailing halyard winches ...prior owner upgraded self-furling and traveler with harken gear, loran, epirb, spinnaker gear, cruising chute, autohelm 4000 autopilot  
Structural or complex improvements reverse cycle heat and ac, varnished interior  
The boat's best features excellent pointing for shoal draft boat, good light airs capability, interior room, handles well under power  
Problem areas in terms of design, materials, maintenance, etc. black moustache on stern from exhaust, caused by stern wave, leaking battery on stuffing box caused boat to take on water  
Sailing characterisitcs excellent pointing, very fast compared to other crusing boats of similiar size, love b  
Motoring characterisitcs handles very well under power  
Liveability excellent for 31 foot boat, water heater and pressure water system works fine, origo non-pressurized alcohol stove is satisfactory for week-end use  
The owner's experience in dealing with Hunter (if any) ordered new striping tape, sales rep was courteous, shipped tape immediately  
The owner's experience with the boat dealer or broker, if any sailors wharf, st. petersburg, fl.....was pleased; would recommend
