Liveability It is extremely good.  
The owner's experience in dealing with Hunter (if any) I have contacted them a lot, and they have been very patient and helpful.  
The owner's experience with the boat dealer or broker, if any They (Nortons) brokered the boat and were very helpful. They gave me a qualitiy of service that you would only expect if they had been selling a new boat.
