How the boat is used Weekends and longer

Liveaboard?  
Owner bought the boat in 1997  
If the clock could be turned back, would owner buy again? Absolutely  
Gear that's been added Doger, Bimini, refrigeration, auto-pilotBOW ROLLER.  
Structural or complex improvements none  
The boat's best features hANDLING IN HEAVY WEATHER  
Problem areas in terms of design, materials, maintenance, etc. Woodwork is too soft, electrical is not up to par.  
Sailing characterisitcs In heavy weahter, in a long distance race, in 25knots wind all othgers had reefed, I did not.We won the race.  
Motoring characterisitcs Has enough power (27hp)  
Liveability Best live-aboard there is, circulation, room ,vista and clarity is 100%  
The owner's experience in dealing with Hunter (if any) A-1. parts, service etc.. excellent.However I have been beating my brain to install a proper bow roller for a 35 lbs bruce and nobody at Hunter can help me.  
The owner's experience with the boat dealer or broker, if any
