The Hunter 31, produced between 1983 and 1987, represents a pivotal era for Hunter Marine as it transitioned from the narrowentry Cherubini designs of the 1970s toward the highvolume, performanceoriented cruisers that would define the brand’s market dominance. Designed by the Hunter Design Team under Cortland Steck, the 31 was engineered to maximize interior living space without sacrificing the nimble handling required for coastal club racing. With over 1,000 hulls produced, it remains one of the most prolific midsized cruisers in North America, often cited as the boat that brought "big boat" amenities—such as a dedicated aft cabin and an expansive beam—to the 30foot class. According to the original Hunter 31 Technical Brochure, the model was offered with both deepdraft fin and shallowdraft wing keel configurations to accommodate different regional sailing environments.
