Review of the Hunter 37 by Joris hitt

Year built 1987  
Location of boat San Diego  
The boat is sailed on Open ocean  
How the boat is used Weekends and longer  
Normal wind strength 10-15 knots  
Average size of crew solo  
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 New main sail, skylights, floating spinnaker foot, Laptop navigation,gps, radar  
Structural or complex improvements getting ready to re-do main sheet blocks and solid vang system. nothing major really  
The boat's best features takes waves well, solid straight sailor in 20knots  
Problem areas in terms of design, materials, maintenance, etc. Main travler and sheeting purchases are feeble. Furling (hood original)not real friendly, would prefer spreaders that don't sweep back.  
Sailing characterisitcs loves to reach, fairly responsive however needs to be reefed sooner than later when winds start to build above 17k  
Motoring characterisitcs Yanmar 30 with 3 blade, boats freeboard catches wind pretty well in and out of slip. Motor cuts out intermittenly, seems to be air in the lines but I can't find the culprit?  
Liveability Very comfortable, but a 45 would be great!  
The owner's experience in dealing with Hunter (if any) none  
The owner's experience with the boat dealer or broker, if any n/a  
Other comments Great boat for the money
