Review of the Hunter 34 by David Lampton

Year built 1983  
Location of boat League City, Tx.  
The boat is sailed on Bays, sounds, or protected salt water  
How the boat is used Weekends and longer  
Normal wind strength 16-22 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? Yes.  
Gear that's been added AutohelmRefridgerationLORANGPSMicrowaveupgraded secondary winches to Lewmar 30's  
Structural or complex improvements Replaced the main solon deck.Finally found and fixed the leak in the exhaust exit pipe.  
The boat's best features A fast comfortable cruser for two people.Easy boat to single hand.  
Problem areas in terms of design, materials, maintenance, etc. Biggest problem is the trapped waterin the bilge. I have installed a smallbilge pump, going through the hole the table support goes in, to move the waterfrom the hull to the bilge.This has really helped.  
Sailing characterisitcs Weatherhelm, what else. You have to getused to it. Took awhile. It's a toughboat though. Had it out in the gulf in 10 ft. seas. It did just fine thank you.I was sick as a dog.  
Motoring characterisitcs The 21 hp. Westerbeke is a great motor.I wish it were the 27 hp. Westerbeke.Handle's well under power. Does not crabas bad as some boats. If you are countingon it crabbing look out.  
Liveability Great weekend and vacation boat.
