The boat's best features Handels very well . Very responsive.Plenty of room for the family. Nice galley and head.  
Problem areas in terms of design, materials, maintenance, etc. The only problem or concern I have is the problem with the keel bolts loosening. I think the keel mounting serface is to small for the wieght of this keel. I tighten them every year. Can anyone offer me any advice on this and is it anything to realy be concerned about? ( droping a keel). Its very difficult to get a real answer to this problem. Here is my number if anyone can offer any insight. It would be greatly appreciated.631-838-8238.Ask for NICK.

Liveability  
The owner's experience in dealing with Hunter (if any) [builder]
