Structural or complex improvements	No, none called for
The boat's best features	speed in light winds, pointing ability, ability to raise keel in shallow waters
Problem areas in terms of design, materials, maintenance, etc.	absolutely nothing
Sailing characterisitcs	once the new sail configuration was established..cunningham,boom vang added and APC what a great ride...Even in light winds 5-7 still gets up and goes with little effort.
Motoring characterisitcs	too noisy...vibrations etc. only thing I don't like about it replaced a two stroke 8 with a four stroke 9.9 but still would rather not use it at all. Still its a have to have.
Liveability	Ok..we call it our "pop-up" camper on the water. anywhere anytime campout. Great sleep for two adults and two young boys (7 & 9)
The owner's experience in dealing with Hunter (if any)	Great Great called and asked for information and within a couple of days received great stuff in the mail...asked about rigid spreaders and immediately sent info on same..
The owner's experience with the boat dealer or broker, if any	personal
Other comments	It is amazing how many people recognize the boat at a glance..and then comment on how they miss theirs and/or how great the experiences were when they had theirs.
