Review of the Hunter 31 by Carl Roosa

Year built 2008  
Location of boat Kent Narrows Md  
The boat is sailed on Bays, sounds, or protected salt water  
How the boat is used Day sailing  
Normal wind strength less than 10 knots  
Average size of crew 5-6  
Liveaboard? No  
Owner bought the boat in 2011  
If the clock could be turned back, would owner buy again? Yes, we are having a blast  
Gear that's been added Manson supreme, I-pad for navagation  
Structural or complex improvements no, It came with some options  
The boat's best features Arch with traveler. Open transom with ladder. Roller furling main. Yanmar 3ym20  
Problem areas in terms of design, materials, maintenance, etc. gelcoat on leading edge of bow had voids. Hunter allowed our marina to repair. VDO tach quit first day of use. Found a great engine shop yanmar paid for it.  
Sailing characterisitcs very stable and dry. sails are easy to deploy and furl.  
Motoring characterisitcs motors well no vibration runs 6 kts at 3200 rpm  
Liveability Twice we have spent 3-4 nights aboard. aft berth is great. stove and reefer are good and reliable.  
The owner's experience in dealing with Hunter (if any) n/a  
The owner's experience with the boat dealer or broker, if any Ocean Gate Marina in Bayville NJ were very helpful incuding hiring a rated captain to walk us thru the boat systems and take us out for a day to use all systems and give us tips. we brought the boat from NJ to Kent Island. great trip.  
Other comments Great product. The 31 is going to be redeisgned. We got a great deal. New 2008 never been owned.
