The boat's best features pop top, beam, cockpit room  
Problem areas in terms of design, materials, maintenance, etc. safty line stanchions have been welded where the stanchion meets the deck and gelcoat cracks  
Sailing characterisitcs this boat is a blast to sail, we love it  
Motoring characterisitcs the little six horse power suzuki has been maintenance problem  
Liveability you wouldnt live on this boat  
The owner's experience in dealing with Hunter (if any) never  
The owner's experience with the boat dealer or broker, if any it was good  
Other comments too bad they no longer make this boat. it is a great lake boat and is very cool with the pop top up.
