Owner bought the boat in 1995  
If the clock could be turned back, would owner buy again? Yes.  
Gear that's been added Loran, GPS, Pedestal Gaurd, Cockpit TableBarb-Q grill, Bimini Top  
Structural or complex improvements  
The boat's best features For a 33'boat she has a very roomy interior,Well laid out very functional and livable,Beautiful woodwork and good storage  
Problem areas in terms of design, materials, maintenance, etc. If you are tall sleeping in the berth's is a bit difficultThe design of the head is so that if youwere to leave the flush valve in the flushposition your boat would sink!  
Sailing characterisitcs She handles well in light to moderate air but she realy comes into her own in heavy air20 kts and above She points well, Tacts  
Motoring characterisitcs Underpowerd in strong seas  
Liveability I have lived aboard for short periods and found her quite comfortable  
The owner's experience in dealing with Hunter (if any) by telephone only and they were friendly  
The owner's experience with the boat dealer or broker, if any
