Problem areas in terms of design, materials, maintenance, etc.  
Sailing characterisitcs I sail in San Francisco Bay and the Pacific.Have made various trips down the coast toHalf Moon Bay and Monterey. Conditions encountered included 30-knot winds and confused seas with 4-6 meter swells. The boat is solidly constructed and she never showed signsof stress though she took a pretty good punding by the seas. If I could take the time I would definitely sail her to Mexico.  
Motoring characterisitcs A very easy boat to handle while motoring.A realyl controllable boat when trying to getinto a slip or backup. The Yanmar has been reliable.  
Liveability I have lived on the boat for up to eight days with two other crew members. Very comfortable for 3 guys to crew in. We didn't try to kill each other after a few days of living together, and were still friends after 8 days!  
The owner's experience in dealing with Hunter (if any) No experience  
The owner's experience with the boat dealer or broker, if any nope
