The boat's best features Cost, Bright roomy cabin.  
Problem areas in terms of design, materials, maintenance, etc. 1. Kohler Generator access is about nil.2. Have had about seven (7) potable water filter housings break during past year. (Sure-Flo?)3. CNG VERY difficult to find. Located three sources from Norfolk to Miami and none in the Keys or Bahamas.  
Sailing characterisitcs Good  
Motoring characterisitcs Good  
Liveability Above Average!  
The owner's experience in dealing with Hunter (if any) Phone calls have always been very satisfactory.Thought that after buying a new boat, when I showed up for factory tour that I could have at least been offered a cup of coffee???!!!  
The owner's experience with the boat dealer or broker, if any Norton's Yacht Sales in Deltaville have undoubtedly been the nicest folks that I have ever bought anything from: Every encounter before and after purchasing our boat has been an extremely pleasant experience.
