If the clock could be turned back, would owner buy again?	So far, yes. Looks like a great value.

Structural or complex improvements	None yet.
The boat's best features	Tows well and easy to sail.
Problem areas in terms of design, materials, maintenance, etc.	Front eye bolt.
Sailing characterisitcs	I'm a novice sailer and the 22 is a good learner boat. Very forgiving and very fun!
Motoring characterisitcs	With the 5 hp Briggs, it does right well. The motor sits low, so its hard to maneuver somewhat but I'm learning.
Liveability	Don't think I'd want to stay overnight on it. Its fine for the wife or kids to lay down on while I'm sailing around the lake.
The owner's experience in dealing with Hunter (if any)	No contact.
The owner's experience with the boat dealer or broker, if any
