Structural or complex improvements  
The boat's best features lots of room for it's size  
Problem areas in terms of design, materials, maintenance, etc. The fuses kept falling out when trailering, replaced them all and had no other problems.  
Sailing characterisitcs Very nice in light winds,the boat gets a little  
Motoring characterisitcs fine  
Liveability My wife and I and our two goldens have spent a lot of weekends in Oxnard. We have also made trips with friends out to Catalina. The boats a little cramped for four adults.

The owner's experience with the boat dealer or broker, if any Bought new from a Dealer, we have always been treated fairly by them.
