The boat's best features The Cutter rig.  
Problem areas in terms of design, materials, maintenance, etc. Swim Ladder. Ladder has rusted in one spot to where it is unsafe to use, and have not been able to find a replacement.  
Sailing characterisitcs Very responsive handling. A pleasure.  
Motoring characterisitcs Okay, added sound proffing to engine compartmment overhead/cockpit deck, and quieted down engine noise.  
Liveability Livable and comfortable single handed. Was a little crowded with wife - so got rid of wife.  
The owner's experience in dealing with Hunter (if any) Had a good experience. When I bpught the boat there was no owner's manual. Hunter's customer service department folks were a delight to deal with.  
The owner's experience with the boat dealer or broker, if any Bought the boat from a private individual.  
Other comments The boat has been a good boat. It has gotten me there and back inspite of yself some times.
