Review of the Hunter 37.5 by Rick Scott

Year built 1992  
Location of boat Miami Beach, FL  
The boat is sailed on Bays, sounds, or protected salt water  
How the boat is used Weekends and longer  
Normal wind strength 10-15 knots  
Average size of crew 2-4  
Liveaboard? No  
Owner bought the boat in 1996  
If the clock could be turned back, would owner buy again? In a heartbeat!!!  
Gear that's been added Entec West 4.2kw genset, NorthStar DGPS/Chartplotter, Autohelm autopilot, new AC, new Isotherm refrigeration (medium holding plate), Lifeline AMG house and starting batteries.  
Structural or complex improvements No.  
The boat's best features Spacious accommodations and ease of sail.  
Problem areas in terms of design, materials, maintenance, etc. The original solar panel has deteriorated and the manufacturer is out of business.  
Sailing characterisitcs Fast. Although we spend most of our sail time in the bay, we have been in 34+ knot winds and 13'+ seas under sail in the open oceacn and she handles like a dream!  
Motoring characterisitcs Plenty of power with Yanmar 34hp.  
Liveability Exceptional, if my partner would, I would live aboard!  
The owner's experience in dealing with Hunter (if any) The couple of times I've called, they have been most helpful.  
The owner's experience with the boat dealer or broker, if any Make sure that under no circumstance that you use a surveyor recommended by a broker/dealer when buying a used boat.
