Review of the Hunter 216 by Dutchy46

Year built 2004  
Location of boat Little Pine Tree Harbour, Lake Huron  
The boat is sailed on The Great Lakes  
How the boat is used Day sailing  
Normal wind strength 10-15 knots  
Average size of crew 2-4  
Liveaboard? No  
Owner bought the boat in 2016  
If the clock could be turned back, would owner buy again? Yes  
Gear that's been added Outboard motor. New Jib  
Structural or complex improvements Repaired stern mast support retaining bracket. Center portion was broken out, installed a stainless plate across the resulting opening.  
The boat's best features Shallow draft, roller furling,  
Problem areas in terms of design, materials, maintenance, etc. Bracket for stern mast support. Water leakage from rain down the mast, purchased boot for on top of the cuddy cabin but it does not work very well, still getting water down in the bilge.  
Sailing characterisitcs Easy handling, sails are very balanced.  
Motoring characterisitcs Motors easily with 5 hp outboard  
Liveability Not designed for  
The owner's experience in dealing with Hunter (if any) Very good to deal with, response is quick. Recently ordered a new jib as the old one was deteriorated. They rushed my order and it arrived two weeks early.  
The owner's experience with the boat dealer or broker, if any  
Other comments Love the boat, it sails great and is very easy to trailer and setup, it does take a bit to lower and raise the mast and you really need a second person to help.
