Review of the Hunter 376 by Randy Holmes

Year built 1997  
Location of boat Pottsboro, Texas  
The boat is sailed on Lakes  
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 1997  
If the clock could be turned back, would owner buy again? Definitely.  
Gear that's been added Electric Lewmar Winch for the Mainsail.Central Heat and Air Conditioning  
Structural or complex improvements none  
The boat's best features The way the boat handles in like and heavy winds, and the amount of room below deck.  
Problem areas in terms of design, materials, maintenance, etc. I have a small leak by the mast. I currently have the service department working on this and should be covered by my warranty.  
Sailing characterisitcs  
Motoring characterisitcs I am amazed at how well the boat maneuvers and how quiet the engine is.  
Liveability Since I have bought the boat, I have spent almost every weekend on the boat. It is very comfortable for 2-4 people.  
The owner's experience in dealing with Hunter (if any)  
The owner's experience with the boat dealer or broker, if any The boat was not cleaned up when I took delivery so I was somewhat dissappointed at first.However, I have had minor problems with the boat (still under warranty), and am very disappointed in the service department. I have had to go through the sales person a couple of times to get the service department to complete the work.
