Review of the Hunter 25_73-83 by Bill Horton

Year built 1979  
Location of boat Lake Martin, Alabama  
The boat is sailed on Lakes  
How the boat is used Day sailing  
Normal wind strength  
Average size of crew solo  
Liveaboard?  
Owner bought the boat in 1998  
If the clock could be turned back, would owner buy again? No, I bought this boat to learn to sail. It would have been better to learn in a smaller boat and moving up to a boat suitable for cruises lasting several weeks.The boat is the only vessel ever sailed so I lack a basis for comparison to other boats.The material, design and workmanship incorporated in this boat have been validated and I am happy with it's soundness and appearance.  
Gear that's been added None  
Structural or complex improvements None  
The boat's best features Appearance and soundness.
