Review of the Hunter 28 by Rick

Year built 1993  
Location of boat Illinois  
The boat is sailed on 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 2003  
If the clock could be turned back, would owner buy again? Yes, it is our first boat and we are happy with it so far.  
Gear that's been added None yet!  
Structural or complex improvements None Yet.  
The boat's best features  
Problem areas in terms of design, materials, maintenance, etc. The head is very small and difficult to use but functional. I can't tell when the holding tank is getting full and worry about a spill or smell. Have a leak or two in the fixed ports that need to be repaired.  
Sailing characterisitcs Mostly light winds to date. I have noticed a pretty severe weather helm in winds over 10 -15 knts.  
Motoring characterisitcs Engine starts and runs perfectly although is does vibrate at around 2300 rpm.  
Liveability Nice for a weekender for two people. Any more would be a crowd. I wouldn't consider it for more than a week.  
The owner's experience in dealing with Hunter (if any) Made one call and received excellent advice.  
The owner's experience with the boat dealer or broker, if any Purchase the boat from a broker at the lake where she is berthed. Everything worked out very well.
