I don't much like Hunters in general, but if that's what's going to work
for you, go for it. They're listed in the local rag as good starter boats.

well, my wife and I have decided (maybe) that our ultimate sailboat is the
mid 80s Hunter 345. we like the looks, layout and what we have read as far
as how she sails and performs is good. Any comments on this boat?

Just closed the deal on a Reinel 26' It will be a long time before we could
get a Hunter 345. But I don't want it as a starter boat. I want to
eventually have it as my last boat. We want something to take across the
Gulf of Mexico to winter in the Caribbean (If "W" says I can leave the U.S.
that is)
