Location of boat Portland, OR  
The boat is sailed on Rivers  
How the boat is used Weekends and longer  
Normal wind strength 16-22 knots  
Average size of crew 2-4  
Liveaboard?  
Owner bought the boat in 1998  
If the clock could be turned back, would owner buy again? Yes,  
Gear that's been added This boat has autohelm, radar,gps,chartplotter,windspeed  
Structural or complex improvements No  
The boat's best features Interior layout and design, ability to back up,overall exterior appearance.  
Problem areas in terms of design, materials, maintenance, etc. Cabin windows (not ports) are crazing. Some leakage is occuring that I can't track down.  
Sailing characterisitcs Boat seems fast, gets in a groove easily. Weather helm at 18 to 20 knots;time to reef. Likes cruising under spinnaker.  
Motoring characterisitcs Unlike my previous Catalina there is no noticable torque steer at any speed. Backs up quite well for a sailboat.  
Liveability We think it's great for short spurts. Seems roomy, yet cozy.  
The owner's experience in dealing with Hunter (if any) Good so far.  
The owner's experience with the boat dealer or broker, if any Broker did fine job, no complaints.
