Review of the Hunter 31_83-87 by Les Busch

Year built 1984  
Location of boat Lake Michigan-Muskegon  
The boat is sailed on The Great Lakes  
How the boat is used Weekends and longer  
Normal wind strength 10-15 knots  
Average size of crew 2-4  
Liveaboard?  
Owner bought the boat in 1990  
If the clock could be turned back, would owner buy again? No....I would save for a higher quality boat  
Gear that's been added It was and is fully loaded with electronics and canvas  
Structural or complex improvements Not improvements but repairs to the keel, diesel, and many fiberglass repairs  
The boat's best features Low cost  
Problem areas in terms of design, materials, maintenance, etc. Too numerous to mention  
Sailing characterisitcs Slow in light air......dangerous in heavier air  
Motoring characterisitcs Slow  
Liveability Forget it.......  
The owner's experience in dealing with Hunter (if any) They do what they can with a low cost product  
The owner's experience with the boat dealer or broker, if any
