Review of the Hunter MH 37 by sjhdc

Year built 2014

The boat is sailed on Bays, sounds, or protected salt water  
How the boat is used Day sailing  
Normal wind strength 10-15 knots  
Average size of crew 2-4  
Liveaboard? No  
Owner bought the boat in 2014  
If the clock could be turned back, would owner buy again? No  
Gear that's been added Bow thruster  
Structural or complex improvements  
The boat's best features Sails well  
Problem areas in terms of design, materials, maintenance, etc. Ive had numerous system problems including plumbing leaks from every sink, shower etc lines. Doors that didnt fit, cowl vent ducting that doesnt align, shore cord attachment that detatched, bottom paint errors (incompatible with saildrive), revo winch problems to name a few. Along with still no reimbursement for repairs done over the last year makes for a very unsatisfactory experience.  
Sailing characterisitcs Sailing is fine..systems reliability and poor factory response is the problem. Once I get all the systems fixed...until now primarily at my expense Im sure it will be okay.  
Motoring characterisitcs Engine has been reliable and more than adequate power for maneuvers.  
Liveability Interior very comfortable  
The owner's experience in dealing with Hunter (if any) Poor  
The owner's experience with the boat dealer or broker, if any Difficult
