Review of the Hunter 310 by Bob Barr

Year built 1997  
Location of boat St Croix River-MN  
The boat is sailed on Rivers  
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 1997  
If the clock could be turned back, would owner buy again? Yes  
Gear that's been added Dodger, Bimini, autohelm ST30 Wind unit, stereo/CDspeakers in the Cabin and in Arch(great location, 5" speakers fit perfect in Arch access openings)  
Structural or complex improvements no  
The boat's best features Great cockpit size and layout for a 31'. Very easy to sail and FAST! for a 31'. Have past Catalina 31'  
Problem areas in terms of design, materials, maintenance, etc. Had some minor problems with a cracked Hot Water Heater, short reefing lines, and minor missing hardware during commisioning. This has been corrected by Hunter and the selling Dealer.  
Sailing characterisitcs Sails well in light wind and a good blow(30 Knts)get ready to reef the "big Main " at about 15-16 knts. Even with the sweptback spreaders it sails well down wind.  
Motoring characterisitcs Motors well, good power and controls. A little too much vibration above 3000 RPMs.  
Liveability Great room in both the cabin  
The owner's experience in dealing with Hunter (if any) Wrote and E-mail letter about missing parts for the Ice Box lid and they quickly sent the parts to correct the problem.  
The owner's experience with the boat dealer or broker, if any Dealer was very helpful and did a great job commisioning the boat and following up with Hunter and correcting minor problems discovered during commisioning
