Review of the Hunter 37-cutter by james s. kimbrell

Year built 2002  
Location of boat destin fla  
The boat is sailed on Open ocean  
How the boat is used Multi-week coastal cruising  
Normal wind strength 16-22 knots  
Average size of crew 2-4  
Liveaboard? No  
Owner bought the boat in 2001  
If the clock could be turned back, would owner buy again? yes  
Gear that's been added I bought a 1979 37 cutter rig boat that a hurricane beat up alittle.A couple of stancions ,some lifelines .new wiring and plumbing.I need a roller furling jib.If you know of a used one that someone has upgraded from,let me know .  
Structural or complex improvements I intend to put a pressureised water holding tank to keep the pump from coming on every time I wash my hands.Solar electric panels.A camara at the top of the mast for a birds eye look at bridges and stuff  
The boat's best features She cruises like a dream  
Problem areas in terms of design, materials, maintenance, etc. mast hight.wiring in the builge.Dumb idea!!!.There should have been a chase higher up on the vessel. the porthole designer should be shot.  
Sailing characterisitcs steady  
Motoring characterisitcs vibration  
Liveability perfect for a 6 foot 4 inch man  
The owner's experience in dealing with Hunter (if any) They dont care about older boat owners  
The owner's experience with the boat dealer or broker, if any N/A  
Other comments You people should send every older boat owner a new set of portholes that dont leak.FOR FREE
