Review of the Hunter 90 by Hal Penney

Year built 1990  
Location of boat Stockton Sailing Club...Calif  
The boat is sailed on Bays, sounds, or protected salt water  
How the boat is used Day sailing  
Normal wind strength 10-15 knots  
Average size of crew 2-4  
Liveaboard?  
Owner bought the boat in Sf B  
If the clock could be turned back, would owner buy again? Yes, I would  
Gear that's been added Added........GPS Color Plotter, Two VHF radiosElectric Ref, Doger, Bimini, new cushions, Microwave, interior rope lighting under cabinets, Auto Helm 4000, Extra batteries, ...thats all I can think of now. I still want to add radar...  
Structural or complex improvements none at this time.  
The boat's best features The cabin layout....lots of room for a 32 footer. The head is large for its size of boat. I like the no stays rigging. It sails nice. We have sailed alot in the SF Bay and out the gate to Santa Cruiz. The boat is very nice as we usually have at least 2 or 4 extra people on board. I wish it had a better anchor system...the bow roller is very small. If someone has a better way ....please advise me. thanks,  
Problem areas in terms of design, materials, maintenance, etc. I have not used the inside shower as of yet. It works but, not having a overboard pump..we do not use it. I do use the outside deck shower alot. The bow anchor locker is small.....and the roller is small. I want to find a way to put a bigger roller on the bow. Anyone have ideas let me know. thanks  
Sailing characterisitcs Does not head up into the wind as well as I would like. Not pointing well. However it sails well on a reach.  
Motoring characterisitcs I am getting alot of viberations from the engine area. Have realigned the engine a few times., but still some viberations between 2200 RPMs and 3000 RPMs. I have a 27 hp....and a two bladed prop.....any ideas...please adv...thinking about changing props....  
Liveability Lots of room, have spent about 3 weeks on the boat in the bay......every year since we have owned it. We purchased two years ago....  
The owner's experience in dealing with Hunter (if any) Not yet ....  
The owner's experience with the boat dealer or broker, if any From a private party...the original ower.
