Normal wind strength 10-15 knots  
Average size of crew 2-4  
Liveaboard? No  
Owner bought the boat in 2000  
If the clock could be turned back, would owner buy again? yes most definately, great boat  
Gear that's been added  
Structural or complex improvements added auto pilot, extra batteries, battery charger, and stereo  
The boat's best features easy boat to motor and sail, very livable for a weekend or a few days.  
Problem areas in terms of design, materials, maintenance, etc. all systems work fine.  
Sailing characterisitcs in strong winds need to reef sails earlier then with other boats.  
Motoring characterisitcs motors very well keeping motor aroudn 2500 rpm. backs fairly well into docks.  
Liveability very comforatable for 2 or 3 people for a weekend.  
The owner's experience in dealing with Hunter (if any) none yet.  
The owner's experience with the boat dealer or broker, if any very good experience with whitney marine in jacksonville.  
Other comments excellent boat would buy another without doubt.
