Hi,

I posted a message awhile ago on Irwin''s and Ericon''s.

Well, someone just brought to my attention a ''82 33'' Hunter sloop that''s for sale and looks pretty good on paper.

Has anyone had any experience with this boat and can give me a heads up on the pro''s and con''s?

Regards,

Geoff

Around the early 1980''s Hunter was building some pretty nice boats. The Hunter 30,37 and 54 come to mind. However the Hunter 33 of that era always struck me as a dud. This was also the era when Hunter had extremely serious blister problems. My father had a 30 from that era that had the worst blister problems that I have ever heard of where the blistering extended all of the way through the laminate in places.
