The newer Hunters may be decent boats, especially once you get up to the 49' size...but the old ones certainly were not of the greatest quality, and really were one of the brands that the "Bleach Bottle" denigratory term came out to describe.

I've also never heard of over-engineered chainplates being a problem to anyone....

You know what the first rule of sailing is? ...Love. You can learn all the math in the 'verse, but you take
a boat to the sea you don't love, she'll shake you off just as sure as the turning of the worlds. Love keeps
her going when she oughta fall down, tells you she's hurting 'fore she keens. Makes her a home.
