Hunter Marketing / Reviews
Above decks she features a large well laid out cockpit with a walk-thru transom and comfortable high-backed benches. All lines are lead aft to the coach roof mounted sheet stoppers and self-tailing winches. These sheet winches are mounted on the coaming top, just forward of the helm station keeping them within easy reach of the helm and far enough forward to allow quick access by the crew. Wide side decks, inboard shrouds and coach roof mounted hand rails offer safe, easy access fore and aft for docking and anchoring. On the bow is a deep anchor locker and bow roller with anchor storage electric windlass. Hunter's famous slotted, aluminum toe rail runs full length and offers excellent protection and tie down options.
A refinement of the Hunter 34, the Hunter 33.5 offers a surprisingly bright spacious interior w/ 6'5" headroom. This is the later "T" (trunk cabin) version with an athwartship private aft cabin featuring a true double bunk, additional ports and hatches along with the larger Yanmar 27hp 3GM30F diesel.
The Hunter 33.5 is an excellent performer due to her large sail plan and bulb wing keel. She is also easy to single-hand.
Accommodations
Below decks the 33.5 is very family and crew friendly. She features a welcoming interior with excellent ventilation and abundant natural light highlighted by beautiful teak woods.
The main salon features a U-shaped dinette with a convertible table to starboard and a long settee to port. The NAV station is at the aft end of the port settee. Forward of the salon is the marine head and vanity. The vanity is to port and the marine head and shower are to starboard. The private guest cabin forward has a large double V berth, storage lockers and a large overhead hatch. The owner's cabin is aft and features an athwartship double, storage lockers and privacy door. The full cruising galley offers all the amenities needed for cruising including a double burner alcohol stove, deep double lid refrigerated ice box, and generous storage cabinets.
She offers very comfortable sleeping accommodations for 7 adults. 2 in the owner's cabin, 2 in the private forward cabin, 2 on the convertible dinette and 1 on the port settee.
The tanks are 24 gal. diesel, 56 gal. fresh water, and 25 gal. holding.
