Gear that's been added full bimini,california dodger,microwave,tv/vcr,bar-b-que grill, dinghy  
Structural or complex improvements changed hanging locker to dhelves for pantry  
The boat's best features openness of cabin,ease of handling under power or sail.open side decks(V-32 lack shrouds  
Problem areas in terms of design, materials, maintenance, etc. main sail is very hard to hoist from cockpit(all sail controls are led to c-p)  
Sailing characterisitcs boat is an excellent sailer, both on  
Motoring characterisitcs My boat is kept in a marina with about 275 other sailboats. It is congested around my slip, but I've never had a problem motoring either in the marina or on the lake, even in 35-40 knots of wind  
Liveability My wife, granddaughter  
The owner's experience in dealing with Hunter (if any) Always helpful  
The owner's experience with the boat dealer or broker, if any My V-32 is the 2nd Hunter
