The Hunter 240 arrived in the late 1990s as a refined successor to the highly popular Hunter 23.5, designed to cater to the "trailer-sailer" demographic that demanded both ease of transport and genuine overnight capabilities. Built by Hunter Marine in Alachua, Florida, the 240 utilized a water-ballast system and a swing-centerboard design, allowing the boat to maintain a remarkably low towing weight while providing the stability required for coastal cruising once launched. This model represents a specific era in Hunter’s history where the design team, influenced by Warren Luhrs’ focus on efficiency, sought to maximize interior volume without sacrificing the boat's ability to be launched from a standard boat ramp. Its production run spanned from approximately 1997 to 2003, during which it became a staple of the American trailerable fleet.
