Review of the Hunter Vision-36 by Bill Essmaker

Year built 1992  
Location of boat Cheboygan, Mi.  
The boat is sailed on The Great Lakes  
How the boat is used Weekends and longer  
Normal wind strength 16-22 knots  
Average size of crew 2-4  
Liveaboard? No  
Owner bought the boat in 2003  
If the clock could be turned back, would owner buy again? absolutly! It's a wonderful boat.  
Gear that's been added It already has chart plotter, radar,GPS, auto pilot & loran. I'm very content with this equipment.  
Structural or complex improvements no  
The boat's best features extreme ease of handling single handed. Very stable in all weather.  
Problem areas in terms of design, materials, maintenance, etc. only thing I'm dissatisfied with is the Stack-Pack main sail stowage system. With the boom so high above the cock pit it is very hard to reach the zipper to zip it up.  
Sailing characterisitcs you must be thinking ahead about reefing the main! The main is very big and can catch you off guard if the weather picks up suddenly.  
Motoring characterisitcs the Yanmar diesel has great power for the 36 footer. moves us right along even in strong head winds.  
Liveability Nice salon and galley and the head is good. the v-berth and aft beds are narrow for the size of the boat, my wife and I are not large people but still must sleep separate to be comfortable.  
The owner's experience in dealing with Hunter (if any) have not  
The owner's experience with the boat dealer or broker, if any no  
Other comments I believe you can do no better than Hunter for absolute value for the dollar. They build beautiful boats of superior design and quality.
