Review of the Hunter 27_75-84 by Ken Waldie

Year built 1977  
Location of boat Toronto Hydroplane  
The boat is sailed on The Great Lakes  
How the boat is used Weekends and longer  
Normal wind strength 10-15 knots  
Average size of crew 2-4  
Liveaboard?  
Owner bought the boat in 1991  
If the clock could be turned back, would owner buy again? No,I am pleased with the boat overall but it is a shoul draft making it somewhat slower downwind and the need for a shoul draft boat in Lake Ontario is very limited.  
Gear that's been added steering wheel system,flush head system,GPS, furling  
Structural or complex improvements no  
The boat's best features lots of room ,Stability,the diesel engine,the 70,s thick wall construction  
Problem areas in terms of design, materials, maintenance, etc.  
Sailing characterisitcs  
Motoring characterisitcs  
Liveability excelent  
The owner's experience in dealing with Hunter (if any)  
The owner's experience with the boat dealer or broker, if any no
