Designed by Warren Luhrs, the Hunter 33.5 features an amply sized cockpit and spacious salon. The galley incorporates an abundance of storage and is a joy to work in while at sea or at the dock. The head area is somewhat unique on a boat this size in that it traverses the width of the boat just forward of the main bulkhead; this affords a tremendous amount of room. The aft berth is a large double berth. The Hunter 33.5 is a comfortable cruiser that incorporates a generous sail plan, an efficient Yanmar power plant, a well-designed deck layout, and an extremely comfortable cabin. This particular boat was a freshwater boat until the spring of 2006 and has been on Lake Pontchartrain since. Gris Gris II is moored in the New Orleans Municipal Yacht Harbor at 401 North Roadway Street, New Orleans, LA 70124, which is only a short drive from the New Orleans International Airport (MSY)..
