Just The Opposite, Roger
Take a look within the owner reviews. See the pull down tabs. Go to "The Boats". Select the 37.5 and take a look. Here in Southern California, Hunters have a reputation for lack of blistering. We do not get many soggy decks of any make, but I have heard of few here. Almost any boat will blister; its usually a matter of degree. Almost any boat will have deck leaks to the core unless the fittings are re-bedded sometime before. Get a good survey and don't fret. Good luck. Rick D.

Roger, Unless the boat was within the EU when the 'Recreational Craft Directive' came into force or it already has EU certification, you will have the problem of getting it certificated for use in European waters. From the sound of it the manufacture of the boat was prior to the start date. May I suggest you contact the RYA to identify what this really means - and to do this before contracting to buy. Possibly there are other 37.5s already covered so you may be able to gain something from this. Hunters may know.
