Owner bought the boat in 2003  
If the clock could be turned back, would owner buy again? Yes I Would.This Boat is sturdy and performs like you think it should.  
Gear that's been added A telescoping oar.  
Structural or complex improvements No  
The boat's best features Unsinkable,Above the waterline deck(no bilge pump to rely on)The rear transom design allows for an easy entrance from the beach or water  
Problem areas in terms of design, materials, maintenance, etc. nothing  
Sailing characterisitcs Sails in very light wind.you better watch your jibes or you will be in the drink.  
Motoring characterisitcs My arms get soar.My motor is an oar.  
Liveability Its a DAY SAILOR. but while on board I find it comfortable.  
The owner's experience in dealing with Hunter (if any) I have not  
The owner's experience with the boat dealer or broker, if any I bought my 146 from Jim at the Dinghy Shop in Ammityville NY.Great Guy,Great shop.  
Other comments I am glad i bought it.There is no better way to enjoy the summer.
