Review of the Oday 240 by Crazy horse

Year built 1988  
Location of boat Ponce inlet. Fl  
The boat is sailed on Open ocean  
How the boat is used Day sailing  
Normal wind strength 10-15 knots  
Average size of crew 2-4  
Liveaboard? No  
Owner bought the boat in 2020  
If the clock could be turned back, would owner buy again? Yes have had bigger nicer boats but this one is such a good balance sailing and comfort for its size, and also trailerabe  
Gear that's been added Yes good stereo, TV,proper door latches, gps, vhf, new switch panel with volt meter and USB ,shelf aftcabin, toy hammocks,big ground tackle, and a few other things  
Structural or complex improvements Yes chainplates one was loose added double nuts, added bulkhead between stringers in bow, bonded and screwed to original vshaped bulkhead also beefed. Shelfs main cabin 12in longer bonded and screwed to stringers, some new sherclamp, countersunk deck joint screws deeper, flush, for new rubrail, beefed up rudder  
The boat's best features Ease of use great sailing,lead keel keeps her on her feet well for her draft ,even in large seas.pounds a little untill you load her up then just digs in and goes ,for a 24 footer she is awesome. Helm is feather lite.  
Problem areas in terms of design, materials, maintenance, etc. Table took it out, wish angle on side decks was less good when pointing 10+knots wind,overall pretty good.  
Sailing characterisitcs Very good,points well reaches very well ,helm great very quick, digs in and tracks well surprisingly smooth, this is a lite air boat but that is a good thing. FUN all the time!  
Motoring characterisitcs Only have 5hp mercury usually only needs half that if you let off the boat just keeps going  
Liveability Very comfy .mostly ride her hard and put her away salty  
The owner's experience in dealing with Hunter (if any) No need yet glad parts are available, plan on keeping this one  
The owner's experience with the boat dealer or broker, if any ,na  
Other comments Would like to meet the designer
