Owner bought the boat in 1996  
If the clock could be turned back, would owner buy again? yep  
Gear that's been added EZ Jacks (not lazy jacks)Autohelm autopilot  
Structural or complex improvements nope  
The boat's best features Head room 6' 5"Great ventilationLots of light  
Problem areas in terms of design, materials, maintenance, etc. No good place for companionway door partsShould have brought all lines into cockpit  
Sailing characterisitcs Slight to moderate weather helm on 2nd reef  
Motoring characterisitcs Easily reaches hull speed at 3100 rpmred line is 3800. Get about 1 to 1-1/2 hrs per gallon. Embarrasing to top off with 4 or 5 gallons.  
Liveability cumfy for 4 good friendsroomy for 2  
The owner's experience in dealing with Hunter (if any) bought some parts mail order and no surprizes  
The owner's experience with the boat dealer or broker, if any Bought from broker -- all went well.
