1994 Hunter 23.5

Considering a 1994 Hunter 23.5. It's trailored with swing keel and water ballast, and a 8 hp Mariner. Anyone care to comment on the pros and cons of this boat as a low cost starter boat and intro to weekend cruising?

You have a friend who is very knowledgeable about sailboats and who could look the boat over for you? In addition, make very certain the outboard motor is sound. Some people really beat them up.
