Problem areas in terms of design, materials, maintenance, etc. iron keel needs yearly upkeep. head and holding tank systems poor to just complete failer.no thought given by hunter toward good ground tackle systems.heads and holding tanks  
Sailing characterisitcs boat i own has been sailed in varied conditionsit sail well and is stiff compared to newer hunters  
Motoring characterisitcs the boat is highly manueverable,and motors well.  
Liveability the boat is highly liveable a the dock,but i feelhunter could have oferd more nfor extended cruisers.better insulated refigerator.better anchor ability etc.
