The Hunter 38, introduced in 2004 as a replacement for the Hunter 380, represents a pivotal era in Hunter Marine’s history where the brand sought to blend voluminous cruising accommodations with a more sophisticated hull form. Designed by Glenn Henderson, the boat moved away from the more traditional shapes of previous decades in favor of a performance-oriented underbody featuring a "bow hollow" and a "stern reflex," design elements intended to increase the theoretical hull speed and improve handling. As noted in editorial evaluations by Cruising World, the Hunter 38 was engineered to be a versatile platform for coastal cruising, offering a balance of ease-of-use for couples and sufficient space for guests. The model remained a staple of the Hunter lineup until it was eventually evolved into the Hunter 39, which utilized the same Henderson-designed hull while introducing a revised cockpit and window profile.
