Review of the Hunter 460 by paul smith

Year built 1999  
Location of boat deltaville va  
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 2000  
If the clock could be turned back, would owner buy again? yes  
Gear that's been added autopilot,gps chartplotter, davits  
Structural or complex improvements no  
The boat's best features lots of boat for the money , terrific dealer  
Problem areas in terms of design, materials, maintenance, etc. companionway step fitting at top -- screws have pulled out of fiberglass, a potential hazard. the autopilot works great but is noisy  
Sailing characterisitcs sails very well in light air and goes like a rocket off the wind.  
Motoring characterisitcs motors effortlessly at 8 kts. and is surprisingly quiet  
Liveability boat has lots of room below. the main stateroom forward is well laid out and the matress is very comfortable. the main saloon is also very spacious except for that stupid bench. we could use 2 more 110 v. outlets a little forward too.  
The owner's experience in dealing with Hunter (if any) havent yet  
The owner's experience with the boat dealer or broker, if any norton's yacht sales were a delight to deal with.  
Other comments Our last HUnter a 42 passage was never winterized. we sailed her all winter and she kept us very toasty, this boat however has a different reverse cycle unit and is not warm at all we are very dissapointed because we now have to winterize. we are thinking of replacing this soon.
