Review of the Hunter 27_75-84 by francis coleman

Year built 1980  
Location of boat Freeport Long Island NY  
The boat is sailed on Open ocean  
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 07/9  
If the clock could be turned back, would owner buy again? I LOVE THIS BOAT  
Gear that's been added got boat at a good price needs Renault RC8D rebuilt or replaced.put 15hp outboard and drop bracket on back.(hate it).could use some help or advice  
Structural or complex improvements no boats mint  
The boat's best features being able to operate alone from helm,sails very tight into wind,and beautiful in the water  
Problem areas in terms of design, materials, maintenance, etc. engine-rebuilt RC8Dand still doesnt run-had cylinder and piston done new rings,new valves,and check to make sure timing marks ok rebult injector and pump.when i spray carb cleaner in intake nothing happens at all  
Sailing characterisitcs dont understand only been sailing 6month,but have been boating(power)for over 20 years.started getting board needed something new.(SAILING),made the right move  
Motoring characterisitcs HELP RC8D problems  
Liveability its the only way to camp very clean and comfortable (Block Island RI 07/04/00 BE THERE)  
The owner's experience in dealing with Hunter (if any) no  
The owner's experience with the boat dealer or broker, if any
