Hunter 36 Pros and Cons?

I am looking to buy a used Hunter 36, possibly a 38' for use for mainly coastal cruising and liveaboard in Fla area. I would like to hear thoughts on the Pros and Cons of this boat. I am looking at 2004 yr models and newer. They seem to have large saloons and nice galleys.
By the way if anyone has one for sale please contact me or if anyone wants to trade for a nice home in Lake Lanier area of GA take a look at my ad in the classified area of sailnet under Homes for Trade.
Thanks in advance for any information,
Joe

camaraderie has a spectacular aura aboutcamaraderie has a spectacular aura about
Turf...that is what they are built for...comfortable family coastal cruising. Check out the Catalina 36ii and 387 and the Beneteau 373Oceanis for similar priced production boats that you may find equally or more appealing.
I am not a fan of the Hunter mast rigging but I know some owners who swear by it and it is certainly a comfortable live aboard platform in either the 36 or 38. The athwartship aft double would leave something to e desired at sea, but is a comfortable way to give true two cabin room and privacy in weekend cruising situations.
Good luck with the hunt.
