If the clock could be turned back, would owner buy again?	Looked at many boats in this size, price range... Great boat, easily maintained, fun to sail! Plenty of room, fast..., for the size and where I am in life, it's perfect!!!
Gear that's been added	Bought it used... doesn't need a thing! Great shape all around!
Structural or complex improvements	No improvements needed.
The boat's best features	Light weight for towing, low maintenance.
Problem areas in terms of design, materials, maintenance, etc.	So far, not a single problem!
Sailing characterisitcs	Sailing the Columbia is a blast! When the wind is blowing from the east down the Columbia Gorge... it's an exciting ride!
Motoring characterisitcs	Not much motoring, but the Macgregor is very easy to navigate.
Liveability	I'd rather sleep on board that camp.
The owner's experience in dealing with Hunter (if any)
The owner's experience with the boat dealer or broker, if any
