Review of the Hunter 54 by Allen Chroman

Year built 1982

The boat is sailed on Bays, sounds, or protected salt water  
How the boat is used Day sailing  
Normal wind strength 16-22 knots  
Average size of crew 2-4  
Liveaboard? No  
Owner bought the boat in 1992  
If the clock could be turned back, would owner buy again? Absolutely. Fast, and light. Very easy to singlr or double hand. The swim platform and garage ane real plusses. My hunter 45 'Dorje' is also currently up for sale!!  
Gear that's been added  
Structural or complex improvements Had a bad case of blisters when we first hauled her. We spoke with Hunter and had the whole hull grinded down, dried, and refinished withe 9 coats of barrier epoxy  
The boat's best features  
Problem areas in terms of design, materials, maintenance, etc.  
Sailing characterisitcs  
Motoring characterisitcs  
Liveability Very narrow. For a 54' boat it has all the ammenities of a good 40'
