Don,

You might also look at the Catalina Capri 14.2. (http://capri14.org/) It's
very similar to the Hunter 146, but more reasonably priced and readily
available (new and used). There are 3 revisions (mod I, II, and III). I
recommend mod II or newer (1990 and after). There are also several fleets
around the US which makes it a toy and a competitive racer.

Looking for any feedback on these boats, particularly the hull material
construction (rumored to have had past problems, but "fixed" now), and
sailing performance.

My wife and I are reasonably experienced racing and cruising sailors
looking
for a "toy" to drag around and plunk in whatever water we come across on
various trips...

TIA
Don
