Review of the Hunter 310 by Brad Ramer

Year built 2000  
Location of boat Cheasapeake Bay  
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? No  
Owner bought the boat in 1999  
If the clock could be turned back, would owner buy again? Yes and no. For a 31' this is a great boat, this was my first sailboat. Knowing what I know now, I would have bought a bigger boat, i.e. 38 - 42.  
Gear that's been added Autopilot, Cruising Spinnaker, AM/FM/CD, GPS  
Structural or complex improvements no  
The boat's best features Huge cockpit, good and bad, great when entertaining, terrible when rails in the water Wonderful creature comforts, wife loves all the drinkholders. Galley great for a 31'  
Problem areas in terms of design, materials, maintenance, etc. Flip up tables in the cockpit. Velcro pops open all the time and the mounting screws pulled out ( i drilled holes and attached with bolts)  
Sailing characterisitcs Fun to sail in under 20mph winds, perfect for the bay i sail. Easy boat to learn on and sail.  
Motoring characterisitcs Motors just fine.  
Liveability For 2 people it is just fine. Weekends with 4 adults gets tight real quick. No privacy for v-berth.  
The owner's experience in dealing with Hunter (if any) N/A  
The owner's experience with the boat dealer or broker, if any Salesperson Toni Tumas @ Tidewater Marine very knowledgable about sailing and hunters. Great buying experience. Service has been another story. Generally they have been great and attentive for normal things. Had them do rigging for a spinnaker and I must admit, I should have done it myself.  
Other comments Hunters are great values and full of creature comforts.
