Review of the Hunter 23.5 by Earl Corrothers

Year built 1993  
Location of boat Grafton wv  
The boat is sailed on Lakes  
How the boat is used Weekends and longer  
Normal wind strength  
Average size of crew 2-4  
Liveaboard?  
Owner bought the boat in 1999  
If the clock could be turned back, would owner buy again? Not sure. Boat seems to heel easley in mod. winds.I would like to know what is the max wind for full sail.. And what is max heel in degrees.  
Gear that's been added no  
Structural or complex improvements no  
The boat's best features Room, fit and finish  
Problem areas in terms of design, materials, maintenance, etc. other than being tender, everything else works well.  
Sailing characterisitcs with wind good, coming back under tack have been anxious a couple times before I could drop the head and main.  
Motoring characterisitcs I have an 8 hp and it works very well  
Liveability could use shelf space other than that everything else is fine.  
The owner's experience in dealing with Hunter (if any) na  
The owner's experience with the boat dealer or broker, if any na
