Review of the Hunter 23 by David Hass

Year built 1986  
Location of boat Eustis, FL  
The boat is sailed on Lakes  
How the boat is used Day sailing  
Normal wind strength 10-15 knots  
Average size of crew 2-4  
Liveaboard?  
Owner bought the boat in 1986  
If the clock could be turned back, would owner buy again? Yes, with a few adjustments such as a drop axle trailer.  
Gear that's been added roller furler, swim ladder  
Structural or complex improvements  
The boat's best features forgiving, fun to sail. fast against other similar boats. great for week-ending  
Problem areas in terms of design, materials, maintenance, etc. rudder "seam" continually splits, motor mount had to be replaced  
Sailing characterisitcs good to weather, definitely rolls on beam reach  
Motoring characterisitcs 5 hp nissan is reliable and ample, unless one is forced to motor in the ICW around Clearwater on a weekend...  
Liveability fine for an overnight or maybe 2 nights when ice (or lack of) becomes an issue  
The owner's experience in dealing with Hunter (if any) very helpful and courteous  
The owner's experience with the boat dealer or broker, if any very conscientious, but didn't continue to sell Hunters for very long.
