The owner's experience in dealing with Hunter (if any)
The owner's experience with the boat dealer or broker, if any	Boats 4 Sale in Oconomowoc, WI gave me an excellent lower purchase price and outstanding assistance and service, both at time of purchase and years later! Sold me expensive after-market and replacement parts/accessories at almost his cost! Boats 4 Sale is the dealer to go with!
