| Year built | 1982 |
| Location of boat | Georgia |
| The boat is sailed on | Lakes |
| How the boat is used | Day sailing |
| Normal wind strength | less than 10 knots |
| Average size of crew | 2-4 |
| Liveaboard? | No |
| Owner bought the boat in | 1982 |
| If the clock could be turned back, would owner buy again? | Absolutely. |
| Gear that's been added | Jenny, whisker pole, swim ladder. |
| Structural or complex improvements | None |
| The boat's best features | Great family boat! Cabin and cockpit are incredibly roomy for a boat of this length. With the board up you can run right up next to a beach since it only draws about 2 1/2 feet. |
| Problem areas in terms of design, materials, maintenance, etc. | |
| Sailing characterisitcs | It moves along nicely in a light breeze or under motor, which are typical in lake sailing. |
| Motoring characterisitcs | With both outboard and rudder to aid maneuvering it handles very well. |
| Liveability | Very comfortable for a night with my wife and two small kids. Once they got older, nights were better spent ashore. |
| The owner's experience in dealing with Hunter (if any) | They have been very good. When I needed a new tiller, they directed me to their original supplier even though it was fifteen years old. |
| The owner's experience with the boat dealer or broker, if any | |
| Other comments | It makes a great first boat, but not one that you will feel like you have outgrown in a couple of years. |
