Year built	2006
Location of boat	Lethbridge Ab. Ca
The boat is sailed on	Lakes
How the boat is used	Weekends and longer
Normal wind strength	16-22 knots
Average size of crew	6+
Liveaboard?	No
Owner bought the boat in	2006
If the clock could be turned back, would owner buy again?	Yep,I can t believe how easy it is to sail,course Bill fixed me up with everything I needed.I been out at least 200 times in the last 3 seasons I can t get enough, no regreats.
Gear that's been added	Tiller autopilot with remote rigged to the pin where the linkage is.works great and is alot cheaper than a wheel pilot.
Structural or complex improvements	none
The boat's best features	I can launch this boat, rig this boat, sail this boat,and load this boat all by myself.It sure turns heads at the boat launch.
Problem areas in terms of design, materials, maintenance, etc.	everything works as advertised
Sailing characterisitcs	strong winds I ve actually had the boat doing 6klms hr with no sails up. Sails Great both in the stongest gusts and the lightest winds
Motoring characterisitcs	I put a 90 merc on the back ,it limits the walk through transum but i can get most people out of the water, we tube (you have to use a short rope)it take practice to get the right length but I can even cut and swing them across the wake. Kids love to knee board the wake the boat creates gives them lots of fun they do the 360 s and all kinds of tricks.
Liveability	Its great
The owner's experience in dealing with Hunter (if any)
The owner's experience with the boat dealer or broker, if any	Bill Beers you can t say enough, we all appreciate what you do. I thank you and my family and friends thank you. I never sailed before in my life and I bought a new boat from Bill.
