Review of the Hunter 36 by Keith and Sandi Davis

Year built 2005  
Location of boat Middle Chesapeake Bay  
The boat is sailed on Bays, sounds, or protected salt water  
How the boat is used Weekends and longer  
Normal wind strength 10-15 knots  
Average size of crew 2-4  
Liveaboard? No  
Owner bought the boat in 2004  
If the clock could be turned back, would owner buy again? Yes  
Gear that's been added 3 blade prop, dinghy, extra anchor, fans, oven, AC, bimini  
Structural or complex improvements No  
The boat's best features Boat handles well in 10-15 knots, must reef early to reduce weather in the helm. Easily handled by 1 or 2 people.  
Problem areas in terms of design, materials, maintenance, etc. Anti-skid came damaged prior to delivery - Hunter fixed it immediately. Difficulty with the tank gauge, gel-coat bubbles and a leaking main hatch. All repaired/replaced by dealer under warranty.  
Sailing characterisitcs Sails great! Running however should be avoided if possible due to the B&R rigging. Do not hesitate to reef early - actually sails better.  
Motoring characterisitcs Cruises 6 knots at 2800 rpm. The 3-blade prop makes backing much easier.  
Liveability Very comfortable for 2,doable for 4 and really better like each other if there are any more!  
The owner's experience in dealing with Hunter (if any) Hunter has been great - their tech repaired our anti-skid and it looks great. The dealer took care of that prior to the walkthru.  
The owner's experience with the boat dealer or broker, if any Tidewater in Annapolis was good. They are quite responsive to both questions and concerns.
