Year built 1988  
Location of boat Narragansett Bay, RI  
The boat is sailed on Bays, sounds, or protected salt water  
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? You bet!  
Gear that's been added Dodger  
Structural or complex improvements Enclosed port pilot berth with cabinets to match starboard side.  
The boat's best features Sails nicely - all lines to cockpit. Roomy.  
Problem areas in terms of design, materials, maintenance, etc.  
Sailing characterisitcs Stability in rough seas. Fast. Easy on passengers in rough water.  
Motoring characterisitcs 5-6 kts @ 2100rpm (3HM Yanmar). Reliable.  
Liveability Very nice, roomy. After a 2-3 week cruise I still don't feel cramped. And I'm 6'6  
The owner's experience in dealing with Hunter (if any) Very knowledgable, helpful.  
The owner's experience with the boat dealer or broker, if any
