Review of the Hunter 31_83-87 by Lou Theberge

Year built 1983  
Location of boat GULFPORT , FL 33711  
The boat is sailed on Open ocean  
How the boat is used Day sailing  
Normal wind strength 10-15 knots  
Average size of crew 2-4  
Liveaboard?  
Owner bought the boat in 1993  
If the clock could be turned back, would owner buy again? NO.THIS WAS MY FIRST BOAT PURCHASE AND I WAS NOTKNOWLEDGABLE ON HOW MUCH WORK IT WOULD TAKE TO KEEP IT GOING. ALSO, THE BOAT DRAWS 5.5FEET WHICHIS A PROBLEM IN THE BAYS.I LIKE HUNTER BOATS ANDI WOULD CONSIDER PURCHASING ANOTHER HUNTER WITHTHE RIGHT DRAFT AND EQUIPMENT.  
Gear that's been added  
Structural or complex improvements  
The boat's best features THE 31 SAILS WELL IN MODERATE TO HEAVY WEATHERALTHOUTH IT IS RATHER SLUGISH IN LIGHT AIR.  
Problem areas in terms of design, materials, maintenance, etc. THE ENGINE BED IS RUSTING OUT AND NEEDS TO BE REPLACED.THE TEAK VENEER IS COMING APART AND THE PLASTIC SIDE WINDOWS ARE CRACKING AND LEAKING.
