Review of the Hunter 45 by Cole Richardson

Year built 1986  
Location of boat Lake Texoma, Texas  
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 2003  
If the clock could be turned back, would owner buy again? Absolutly! Best boat for the money for coastal or lake sailing. She is fast, stylish and roomy. A real head turner as you catch and sail by everyone else!  
Gear that's been added New sails  
Structural or complex improvements No  
The boat's best features Sailing ability (except down wind) style and price  
Problem areas in terms of design, materials, maintenance, etc. Not a thing  
Sailing characterisitcs She tracks well and is well balanced  
Motoring characterisitcs What you would expect  
Liveability Very livable due to size  
The owner's experience in dealing with Hunter (if any) N/A  
The owner's experience with the boat dealer or broker, if any N/A  
Other comments Personally I would not have a new Hunter due to styling
