The old Hunter 37 cutters are not 'typical' Hunters - whatever that means. These boats were a Cherubini design with (I think) solid glass hulls. They came in a shoal draft and deep draft version. I had occasion to help sail a deep draft one from the Keys (via the Dry Tortugas) to New Port Richie about ten years ago. Of course, the forecast was wrong and we got caught out in the Gulf in deteriorating weather with cross seas and squalls for over 24 hours. My impression was that the H37C is not a particularly fast light wind performer, but it was strong and capable in nasty conditions.
Of course, these boats are now all more than 20 years old . For this vintage, condition is probably more important than design - watch for leaky ports, hatches, decks, etc.
