Review of the Hunter 27_75-84 by Paul

Year built 1980  
Location of boat Great Kills Harbor  
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 2001  
If the clock could be turned back, would owner buy again? Yes  
Gear that's been added no  
Structural or complex improvements no  
The boat's best features This is my third Hunter. I love the way they sail and you get alot of boat for your money.  
Problem areas in terms of design, materials, maintenance, etc. The universal 8 hp. engine.  
Sailing characterisitcs I have owned the 31' 22' and now the 27' they all sail like ther bigger then they are. I have been in 35 knots of wind and never got wet yet not even on the 22'.  
Motoring characterisitcs I hate motors and wished we all had battery operated motors.  
Liveability My wife and two boys 7&3 years of age have plenty of room, more when there sleeping.  
The owner's experience in dealing with Hunter (if any) No I have not dealt with Hunter directly  
The owner's experience with the boat dealer or broker, if any Very helpful
