Liveaboard?  
Owner bought the boat in 1999  
If the clock could be turned back, would owner buy again? Yes. Have thoroughly enjoyed the boat  
Gear that's been added no  
Structural or complex improvements no  
The boat's best features Stability and a good boat to learn on. Very forgiving boat  
Problem areas in terms of design, materials, maintenance, etc. Self bailer and the pins they use for the rigging require the hands and dexterity of a munchkin  
Sailing characterisitcs Handles real well in light winds.  
Motoring characterisitcs none  
Liveability kind of cramped but better then the dog house  
The owner's experience in dealing with Hunter (if any) satisfactory  
The owner's experience with the boat dealer or broker, if any been more than helpful
