Owner bought the boat in	priv
If the clock could be turned back, would owner buy again?	deffinitly not i would be a 26X i think the dagger bord is a very bad idea cause it is to easely broken they should have stay with a swign kell ,the raling on the x in the back was great unfortunutly they did not intall any i guess to save money .and the hatch should have something to hold it open ,the design is really nice ,but i think the try to save to much money because the gelcoat and the fiberglass is very fragiljust by leaning on the seat with my tom i crack it and i am a small fellow be the way it up for sale
Gear that's been added	60 Evenrude E Tech ,furler ,GPS ,dept souder ,genoa 150, boarding latter,defense ,encre and mutch more
Structural or complex improvements	no
The boat's best features	the design exterior is very nice ,and i like the installation of the of the big birth in the back the set up for rasing the mast is mutch better than the old X type
Problem areas in terms of design, materials, maintenance, etc.	the kell is to fragile andshould have stay with a swing keel is far is i am concern ,i do not likes that you removed the raling in the back ,the fiberglass is very fragile , the vent for the ballast is hard to reach
Sailing characterisitcs	it sail easely solo
Motoring characterisitcs	the boat is less stable than the x type
Liveability	i do not think the m is made for more than a day at a time
The owner's experience in dealing with Hunter (if any)	no
The owner's experience with the boat dealer or broker, if any	no
Other comments	i use to have a serie X and i am really disapointed with the M boat , and if i would have realy tried it before i do not think i would have bough it and i am going to sell it as soon as possible maybe going back to and X or and other swing kell type
