Review of the Hunter 290 by dan kelly

Year built 2000  
Location of boat mryc Brick N. J  
The boat is sailed on Bays, sounds, or protected salt water  
How the boat is used Weekends and longer  
Normal wind strength 16-22 knots  
Average size of crew 2-4  
Liveaboard? No  
Owner bought the boat in 2000  
If the clock could be turned back, would owner buy again? probably not would go up to 33' 34' with furling main  
Gear that's been added  
Structural or complex improvements  
The boat's best features for a 29' boat there is plenty of room  
Problem areas in terms of design, materials, maintenance, etc. side decks to narrow I have had leaks tank indicators don't work one of doors swelled up  
Sailing characterisitcs  
Motoring characterisitcs  
Liveability cabin table takes up too much room would perfer a folding table  
The owner's experience in dealing with Hunter (if any)  
The owner's experience with the boat dealer or broker, if any bought for a dealer , quite a distance away getting service from dealer is difficult ... the dealer went out of their way when first purchased but then faded
