    1990 hunter 27 with tiller

    We owned a hunter 23 for years and sold it 5 years ago. We are excited to get back to sailing and we are going to go look at a hunter 27 with tiller and outboard tomorrow. Can any of you give me some key things to look at with these boats. I completely overhauled the 23 so I am handy. Thanks
