Hunter 340 Buyer's Guide
Shopping the brokerage market for a Hunter 340 means looking at a 33-foot-9-inch coastal cruiser that Hunter Marine built in the United States from 1997 through 2002, designed by the Hunter Design Team around a fractional B&R rig and a volume-forward interior. These boats have circulated widely as both private and ex-charter cruisers, so a buyer should expect variety in care and upgrade level rather than a uniform spec.
Layouts on the Used Market
Owner three-cabin arrangements are the more common layout seen on the resale market, though both layout types do turn up. Ex-charter examples are a common sight, and those tend to show higher hours and more worn cosmetic detail than privately owned boats. Either way the boat sleeps seven with two private staterooms and a convertible dinette, a saloon with 6 feet 4 inches of headroom, and a head built around a large shower.
Equipment and Common Upgrades
On the used market a bimini, swim platform, and autopilot are commonly fitted, while a dodger, chartplotter, cockpit shower, air conditioning, and hot water are often seen. Less common but worth noting as owner upgrades are heating, a furling main, solar, and an inverter. For a buyer, the consequential clusters are few: power and climate items such as air conditioning and an inverter matter for liveaboard comfort but draw on a reported "bare bones" electrical system with a single 30-amp shore inlet, so capacity is limited without rewiring; canvas and sail-handling pieces like a dodger and furling main improve short-handed comfort; and navigation gear such as a chartplotter should be checked for age. A Yanmar 3GM diesel rated at 27 horsepower with a 30-gallon tank is the standard auxiliary.
What to Inspect
The deck-stepped mast makes compression at the step and deck delamination from water intrusion real risks, so examine the mast partners and surrounding deck closely. Some owners report thin line cracks on the hull bottom near the bolted-on keel, and the gray nonskid deck paint is known to wear and peel. The swim platform is held to the bilge by only rubber latches, which could admit water in rough seas, so test those latches and look for any sign of past leakage. Confirm the electrical panel breaker count and shore power arrangement, since the original system was minimal.
Availability and Buyer's Takeaway
These boats are typically found in the United States, Canada, United Kingdom, Netherlands, Italy, and Australia. For a shopper, the short checklist is: verify mast-step deck integrity, inspect keel-bolt-area hull cracks, test swim-platform latches and bilge dryness, and assess the electrical system before counting on added comfort upgrades.
