Review of the Hunter 30_74-83 by Rick

Year built 1977  
Location of boat Titusville, FL  
The boat is sailed on Bays, sounds, or protected salt water  
How the boat is used Weekends and longer  
Normal wind strength Press here to select  
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 indeed.  
Gear that's been added The second owner had added virtually every known goodie; hence, no need for me to add anything.  
Structural or complex improvements None.  
The boat's best features Strength, looks and value for the price.  
Problem areas in terms of design, materials, maintenance, etc. Nothing, yet.  
Sailing characterisitcs Not the best light air boat but she handles well above 8 - 10 knots.  
Motoring characterisitcs The Yanmar 16 hp is virtually indestructible but very noisy.  
Liveability OK for a week or so but I could not imagine living aboard for months at a time.  
The owner's experience in dealing with Hunter (if any)  
The owner's experience with the boat dealer or broker, if any  
Other comments Good production boats at fairly reasonable (used) prices.
