We bought ours (Felicity) last year, and have been very pleased with her. Sailing performance is reasonable, and accommodation good.
The self-tacking jib is useful, but you really need the optional cruising chute for lighter airs (ours is on a furler which is a godsend). The boat is well put together, although self-build ones might be more variable in quality.
We came from a Vancouver, so the light displacement (i.e. the boat moves when you get aboard!) took some getting used to.
The Hunter Assocation is a good source of info.
Feel free to pm me if you need any specifics.

I have a Hunter Horizon 27 TK = similar to the Pilot but slightly more open. Mine doesn't have the self tacking jib - for which I'm grateful.
She sails well and build quality is pretty good.
PM me if you want more info

thank you for that. Unfortunately the links to individual boat details is disabled on the site
