Liveaboard? No  
Owner bought the boat in 1996  
If the clock could be turned back, would owner buy again? YES  
Gear that's been added GPS,AUTOPILOT  
Structural or complex improvements NO  
The boat's best features ROOMY,EASY TO SAIL,EASY TO TRAILER  
Problem areas in terms of design, materials, maintenance, etc. THE BOW SUPPORT AT THE FRONT OF THE TRAILER WAS NOT DESIGNED RIGHT,THE MOUNT FOR THE ENGINE NEEDS A BETTER DESIGN,COCKPIT SEAT BACK CUSHIONS NOT ATTACHED WELL  
Sailing characterisitcs DOES NOT POINT TO WELL INTO THE WIND  
Motoring characterisitcs IT MOTORS VERY WELL WITH A 9.9 4STROKE YAMAHA,GETS GREAT FUEL MILEAGE  
Liveability VERY GOOD,IT COULD USE PRESSURE WATER SYSTEM  
The owner's experience in dealing with Hunter (if any) HUNTER HAS BEEN GREAT  
The owner's experience with the boat dealer or broker, if any THE EXPERIENCE WAS OK BUT NOTHING REAL SPECIAL
