Hunter 336 Buyer's Guide
Shopping the brokerage market for a Hunter 336 means looking at Rob Mazza's 1995-onward twin-cabin cruiser built for sailors moving up from a smaller boat. She is a coastal design with a beamy hull, bulb keel, and the distinctive Bergstrom swept-spreader rig that shapes both her looks and her quirks. Most examples afloat today reflect owner or charter histories, and knowing the two belowdecks layouts and the rig's documented limits will steer a purchase survey.
Layouts on the Used Market
Owner three-cabin arrangements are the more common on the used market, but both the open-salon V-berth version and the enclosed-forward-stateroom version are available, and ex-charter examples are common. The open layout pairs a wrap-around settee with a curtained bow berth; the alternate gives a private forward cabin for guests. Either way the aft cabin uses the cockpit shell to gain headroom and carries an extra-wide queen berth with hanging locker. The wrap-around galley, twin deep sinks, and 11 opening ports make the interior feel larger than the length suggests.
Equipment and Common Upgrades
On the used market a 336 commonly carries a bimini, dodger, autopilot, and chartplotter as standard cruising kit. Often-seen additions include a swim platform, cockpit shower, air conditioning, and hot water. Less common but worth noting as owner upgrades are an inverter, solar, and a short-handed sail-handling setup. For a buyer, the autopilot and chartplotter reduce solo docking stress; air conditioning and hot water signal a boat geared to warm-water cruising; solar and inverter speak to anchor-life independence but are not on every boat.
What to Inspect
The swept-spreader rig that eliminates the backstay makes it impossible to fully ease the mainsail when sailing downwind because the spreaders get in the way anchor. The same geometry causes chafe at the spreader tips, which on the test boat was managed with two sets of well-placed spreader patches. Inspect the mainsail for spreader-tip wear and confirm any patch protection is intact; budget for re-patching if absent. The single-line reefing and lazyjack runs under the bridgedeck should also be checked for free movement.
Availability and Buyer's Takeaway
These boats turn up across the United States, Colombia, Mexico, Portugal, Panama, and Australia. For a shopper, the checklist is short: confirm which belowdecks layout suits your plans, verify the spreader-chafe patches and downwind mainsail limitation, and check that the common cruising canvas and electronics are present or budgeted. A 336 with intact rig protection and a clean interior remains a sensible step-up coastal cruiser.
- Decide open-salon vs enclosed-stateroom layout
- Inspect spreader-tip chafe patches; plan re-patch if missing
- Confirm autopilot, chartplotter, bimini, dodger fitted
- Note ex-charter history common; survey accordingly
