Review of the Hunter 26.5 by J. Bee Bednar

Year built 1989  
Location of boat Waterford Marina, Kemah, Tx  
The boat is sailed on Bays, sounds, or protected salt water  
How the boat is used Day sailing  
Normal wind strength 10-15 knots  
Average size of crew 2-4  
Liveaboard?  
Owner bought the boat in 1996  
If the clock could be turned back, would owner buy again? Yep. Got it so cheap I couldn't resistSails at about 5.0Knts to weather and will do hull speed while running  
Gear that's been added Compass, Knot, Depth, and a VHF  
Structural or complex improvements Bottom Job  
The boat's best features Easy and fun to sail  
Problem areas in terms of design, materials, maintenance, etc. Engine fell off...Due to lack of forsight andknowledge of previous owner  
Sailing characterisitcs Smooth and quick. Sail/Disp Ratio of 18.05makes it fast enough to be a bit morethan a cruiser  
Motoring characterisitcs A small 8hp outboard runs well and sinceits mounted with full remote controls itworks just like an inboard  
Liveability Litte small for me...6' 250#, but wouldwork well for smaller folk  
The owner's experience in dealing with Hunter (if any) Good. Sent me exactly what I wanted, when I wanted it and didn't charge a lot  
The owner's experience with the boat dealer or broker, if any
