Owner bought the boat in 2002  
If the clock could be turned back, would owner buy again? yes, in a heartbeat. love it. still getting to know it, but enjoy it all. have been out in some big wind, and think its great. has its things, but I just need to learn more.  
Gear that's been added not yet. considering a spinaker.  
Structural or complex improvements no  
The boat's best features room, handeling,and looks  
Problem areas in terms of design, materials, maintenance, etc. my own shortcommings  
Sailing characterisitcs mostly light air, but have enjoyed the heavy winds as they have come. the boat has handled wellwith shortened main and genny  
Motoring characterisitcs not good, only because motor was not in tune. when motor works boat works well  
Liveability have not stayed overnite, but would like to  
The owner's experience in dealing with Hunter (if any) no experience  
The owner's experience with the boat dealer or broker, if any none, private owner
