Review of the Hunter 90 by Doug

Year built 1994  
Location of boat Ithaca, New York  
The boat is sailed on Lakes  
How the boat is used Weekends and longer  
Normal wind strength 10-15 knots  
Average size of crew 2-4  
Liveaboard? No  
Owner bought the boat in 2004  
If the clock could be turned back, would owner buy again? Yes, this is a very nice sailing boat and the inside is very usable. Outside is..kinda ugly  
Gear that's been added  
Structural or complex improvements  
The boat's best features Fast and nimble  
Problem areas in terms of design, materials, maintenance, etc. Cored fiberglass is very prone to rot especially in stern  
Sailing characterisitcs Very nimble and fun to about 12 knots wind then reef or my wife gets scared with the excessive heeling.  
Motoring characterisitcs Solid motor always starts first time . Keep the water out of the fuel.  
Liveability After adding an inverter life is good. Ice box holds for a week on a couple of bocks of ice.  
The owner's experience in dealing with Hunter (if any) NA  
The owner's experience with the boat dealer or broker, if any NA
