Gear that's been added edison 330 steer cdi furler deck organizer mid-boom sheeting harken high-rise traveler stern seats spreader light boom kicker  
Structural or complex improvements removed wooden motor-mount. replaced with aluminum machined billet, with different angle. installed .25 inch thickness stainless steel plate under tabernacle-step. used to anchor turning blocks, and unused halyards, or safty harness  
The boat's best features  
Problem areas in terms of design, materials, maintenance, etc. non-skid surfaces had to be sanded, and buffed due to poor quality control (height) salon top sags, hatch binds while opening boat is #28 which clearly indicates a rush to market lots of bondo  
Sailing characterisitcs  
Motoring characterisitcs  
Liveability  
The owner's experience in dealing with Hunter (if any) i called about the sagging salon/deck. talked to a guy named greg. i explaned the problem to him. he told me that he was involved in the engineering of the boat, he treated me like i was shit. it was then i realized he was waisting my time  
The owner's experience with the boat dealer or broker, if any weathermark is out of biz,(changed-hands)  
Other comments i still look at them
