Review of the Hunter 33.5 by John Jorgensen

Year built 1993  
Location of boat Stockton, Missouri  
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?  
Owner bought the boat in 1993  
If the clock could be turned back, would owner buy again? probably, a very good lake boat for weekendingmuch better than their new designs  
Gear that's been added bimini  
Structural or complex improvements none  
The boat's best features roominess, good sailing performance  
Problem areas in terms of design, materials, maintenance, etc. poor quality control at factorysome gelcoat and blister problems  
Sailing characterisitcs good turn of speednever a worry in any reasonable wind  
Motoring characterisitcs 3gm Yanmar is great  
Liveability excellent  
The owner's experience in dealing with Hunter (if any) satisfactory  
The owner's experience with the boat dealer or broker, if any Spurgeon's Port-O-Call has been just fine
