The Hunter 401, produced between 1984 and 1991, represents a definitive era in American boat building where volume and value began to dominate the recreational market. As a standout model from the MarlowHunter archives, this vessel was designed to provide the accommodations of a much larger yacht within a manageable 40foot footprint. It was a departure from the narrower, more traditional lines of the previous decade, embracing a beamier hull form that maximized interior living space. This model served as a bridge between the early Cherubiniinfluenced designs and the later "Legend" series, incorporating the initial iterations of the B&R rig that would become a brand hallmark.
