Hunter 33.5 Sailboats for Sale

Layouts on the Used Market

Owner three-cabin arrangements are the more common layout seen on the resale market, though both owner and charter-style versions appear, and ex-charter examples are common. Either way the interior centers on a starboard dinette and a split head-sink forward, with the galley placed as far aft as the hull permits and a large double berth set back under the cockpit to exploit the broad stern.

Equipment and Common Upgrades

On the used boat, a bimini, dodger, swim platform, and chartplotter are commonly fitted, and many listings also carry an autopilot, air conditioning, cockpit shower, and solar. Less common but seen as owner upgrades are heating, hot water, an inverter, and dinghy davits. For a buyer, the power-and-energy cluster — solar and inverter — matters most on a boat whose standard kit once included only a copy of Chapman's seamanship handbook, while canvas (bimini and dodger) and a chartplotter shape day-to-day usability more than the occasional davits.

What to Inspect

The one ownership concern at the bow is that on the 1990 335 there is no anchor roller option and no way to install one anchor. A buyer should confirm how ground tackle is currently secured and whether the owner has improvised a bow fitting, since a factory solution does not exist. Otherwise the solid below-waterline hull and external ballast are straightforward to survey in the usual manner.

Availability and Buyer's Takeaway

These boats are typically found in the United States, Canada, Australia, the United Kingdom, and France. For a shopper, the checklist is short: verify the layout (owner three-cabin vs. charter), confirm keel type since bulb-wing shoal draft dominated the build, check the bow for any improvised anchor handling, and assess the solar or inverter setup against your cruising plans.
