Review of the Hunter 19_93-96 by Bob Allen

Year built 1996  
Location of boat Lake Norman  
The boat is sailed on Lakes  
How the boat is used Day sailing  
Normal wind strength less than 10 knots  
Average size of crew 2-4  
Liveaboard? No  
Owner bought the boat in 2005  
If the clock could be turned back, would owner buy again? No way. This boat isn't worth the money I paid for it. Hunters are over-rated. They're just not worth the $$$ people are charging for them.  
Gear that's been added Wood Tiller  
Structural or complex improvements No  
The boat's best features Sailing on the lake.  
Problem areas in terms of design, materials, maintenance, etc. Trailer doesn't work too well. Mast can be a pain to rig.  
Sailing characterisitcs Hard to tack.  
Motoring characterisitcs You don't use a motor on a sailboat...come on!  
Liveability Nope. Nada.  
The owner's experience in dealing with Hunter (if any) Never have.  
The owner's experience with the boat dealer or broker, if any Best to buy from individuals unless you want to waste a lot of money.  
Other comments Wish I had Compac 19/2. Anybody want to trade?
