The boat's best features The Hunter performs well in light and heavy weather.  
Problem areas in terms of design, materials, maintenance, etc. Nothing.  
Sailing characterisitcs The 37 is an easy boat to sail, so far in all conditions.  
Motoring characterisitcs With the Yanmar engine, she keeps a good pace.  
Liveability I usually cruise alone or with one other person. The 37 has plenty of room. The creature comforts are all that I require.  
The owner's experience in dealing with Hunter (if any) No experience  
The owner's experience with the boat dealer or broker, if any The broker was professional, and represented me very well. After making my written offer, and acceptance by the seller, I learned a difficult thing. Another buyer had made a verbal offer through his broker, never presented. The problem was resolved by the broker.
