Review of the Hunter 35.5 by R.David Oberle

Year built 1988  
Location of boat Michigan City,Indiana  
The boat is sailed on The Great Lakes  
How the boat is used Day sailing  
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,I would buy it again. There is more room than the newer additions,the boat Sails great,and I have had limited problems with the Boat since I bought her.  
Gear that's been added I have installed new Wind and Depth Guages,and VHF radio.  
Structural or complex improvements  
The boat's best features It Sails effortlessly,and the Controls are close at hand.  
Problem areas in terms of design, materials, maintenance, etc. Had trouble with the Chain coming off the sprocket on the Helm. Had apparently hit something which swung the Rudder past the Stop. Was going less than 2 knots when it happened,and was actually going into the Wind,and was lowering the Main.  
Sailing characterisitcs  
Motoring characterisitcs She handles nice even it 15-20 know gusts,and Breaking waves of 8'.  
Liveability very comfortable  
The owner's experience in dealing with Hunter (if any) Have not dealt with them yet.  
The owner's experience with the boat dealer or broker, if any
