If the clock could be turned back, would owner buy again? Yes  
Gear that's been added GPS, Wind, Anchor, Ladder,  
Structural or complex improvements Trying to fix Hunters factory DEFECT, regarding the electric windless postioning and operating of the chain and rope backing up. Hunter appears to ignore this problem.  
The boat's best features Comfort, sailing.  
Problem areas in terms of design, materials, maintenance, etc. Electric windless.  
Sailing characterisitcs Handles very well well balanced.  
Motoring characterisitcs Very good.  
Liveability Excelent.  
The owner's experience in dealing with Hunter (if any) Good on everything except not interested in talking to me about Hunters bad engeneering re the electric windless.  
The owner's experience with the boat dealer or broker, if any It was just ok.  
Other comments A great boat and I am happy with it except for the one thing.
