Review of the Hunter 426DS by PETER A MOSCOVITA

Year built 2003  
Location of boat PORTSMOUTH,RI.  
The boat is sailed on Bays, sounds, or protected salt water  
How the boat is used Weekends and longer  
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, WELL BUILT VERY GOOD FINISH, ABOVE SUPPORT FROM DEALER AND STAFF(SAILING SPECIALTIES,BRISTOL.RI.) WE ARE STILL COMMISSIONING AND ENJOYING EVER MINUTE. THE BOAT IS GETTING LOTS OF ATTENTION AND WE ARE DOING OUR PART TO PROMOTE BOTH THE BOAT AND DEALER. WE FULLY EXPECT THIS NEW VESSEL TO PERFORM AS GOOD AS IT LOOKS WHEN OUR CRUISING STARTS.  
Gear that's been added YOU NAME IT WE HAVE IT.  
Structural or complex improvements WE ARE ADDING SUPPORT TO THE PEDISTLE GUARD WHICH IN MY OPION AS AN ENGINEER IS WAY TO WEAK.  
The boat's best features GOOD LOOKS, EXCELLENT USE OF SPACE & NAMED HARDWARE.  
Problem areas in terms of design, materials, maintenance, etc. WILL KEEP YOU ABREAST.  
Sailing characterisitcs  
Motoring characterisitcs  
Liveability  
The owner's experience in dealing with Hunter (if any)  
The owner's experience with the boat dealer or broker, if any SAILING SPECIALTIES AND ITS STAFF HAVE AND ARE CONTINUING TO MEET OUR NEEDS.
