Hull & Deck

The Hunter 35.5 construction is of a solid laminate fiberglass hull with a fiberglass structural grid system to strengthen the hulls without adding unnecessary weight. The hull design attributes to a broadly acclaimed balance of speed and cruising comfort. The deck / cabin top arrangement permit an easy transit to the bow in open waters. There are abundant handholds and the hardtop dodger and bimini offer shelter from rain and sun. The aft-swept spreaders permits a split backstay, which makes the cockpit more spacious and allows an open walk-through transom.

Cockpit

Key features include:

• The spacious cockpit is protected by a hardtop forward and a full bimini overhead.
• Split backstays permit easy access to the molded boarding area with swim ladder.
