How the boat is used Weekends and longer  
Normal wind strength 10-15 knots  
Average size of crew solo  
Liveaboard? No  
Owner bought the boat in 2000  
If the clock could be turned back, would owner buy again? YES! THIS WAS MY FIRST SAILBOAT AND I TAUGHT MYSELF TO SAIL IT - TOOK ME ABOUT THREE LONG WEEKENDS TO UNDERSTAND IT ALL OR MOST OF IT AND I AM STILL LEARNING THE ROPES TO THIS DAY.NOW BACKING UP--YES THIS IS A NICE BOAT TO OWN AND EAZY TO HANDLE.  
Gear that's been added RADIO/CD PLAYER AND A MUST A "TILLER TAMER"  
Structural or complex improvements NO  
The boat's best features THE COST OF OWNERSHIP A GOOD VALUE.  
Problem areas in terms of design, materials, maintenance, etc. NEEDS MORE HEAD ROOM---OUCH.  
Sailing characterisitcs NICE TO SAIL---SAILS NICE AT CLOSE HULL AT 15 TO 20 DEGREES------ALSO NICE WITH THE SWING KEEL ON A SHALLOW LAKE.  
Motoring characterisitcs HANDLES AND MOVES OUT GOOD WITH A 9.9HP MOTOR.  
Liveability MY ONLY NEGATIVE IS IT NEEDS MORE HEAD ROOM OR I JUST NEED TO BUY A 30FT. BOAT. ( I AM 6'2")  
The owner's experience in dealing with Hunter (if any) VARY GOOD  
The owner's experience with the boat dealer or broker, if any  
Other comments A VARY GOOD BOAT THAT YOU CAN BUY FOR ABOUT $2000.00 TO $7000.00 WITH A TRAILER---A GREAT VALUE.
