Owner bought the boat in 2003  
If the clock could be turned back, would owner buy again? Yes, different dealer!!!,  
Gear that's been added just about everything  
Structural or complex improvements cockpit enclouser  
The boat's best features The DS model head room, storage, handling...etc.  
Problem areas in terms of design, materials, maintenance, etc. Few problems that was all worked out with HUNTER MARINE. I think that Hunter really backs up their product. Also very good customer service.  
Sailing characterisitcs I've sail in 35K and had a 4 to 6/8 foot seas with no problem, she was maintaining 12-12.5k. I expect to take this boat places!!!!  
Motoring characterisitcs I installed autostream 3 bladed folding prop, she goes 8-8.5 @3200rpm no problem. that yanmar 50 is all you need.  
Liveability Living on her with 2 people and 2 big dogs no problem  
The owner's experience in dealing with Hunter (if any) Very good experiance with HUNTER MARINE  
The owner's experience with the boat dealer or broker, if any VERY BAD EXPERIANCE WITH DEALER, HUNTER SHOULD REMOVE THEIR DEALERSHIP!!!!!!!!!!! GOOD PRODUCT BAD DEALER.  
Other comments KEEP THE 426DS MODEL GOING ON
