The owner's experience in dealing with Hunter (if any)
The owner's experience with the boat dealer or broker, if any	I purchased my MacGregor form Bill Beers at Boats4Sail. My buying experience was excellent. Buying a boat from Bill isn't like buying a car from some dealer. Bill iS a sailor without a doubt and knows his stuff. His advice to me was right on, even though I didn't always follow it. He helped me sort through the options as well as rig the boat. Becuase I am local, we has also sailed with me several times. I've learned a lot about sailing and enjoyed the time. If you're considering buying a 26M, giv eBill a call no matter where you're located.
