Marlow-Hunter 37 Buyer's Guide
Shopping the brokerage market for a used Marlow-Hunter 37 means looking at a cruiser designed by Glenn Henderson and first built in 2014, not to be confused with the 1978 or 1986 Hunter 37 predecessors that share the name. She is a 39 feet 1 inch monohull with a single known interior layout, so buyer decisions turn on equipment, rig choice and condition rather than plan variation.
Layouts on the Used Market
Every example carries the same arrangement: a forward V-berth stateroom with good privacy and 6 feet 6 inches of headroom, and an aft owner's stateroom under the cockpit with a large athwartships double berth but limited clearance amidships. The saloon, starboard galley with Corian counters and a microwave, and one efficient head with segregated shower fill the middle. Below-decks headroom is 6.5 feet throughout. Because the plan is fixed, the forward cabin's better light and storage make it the preferred private retreat for many, while the aft berth suits those who want direct head access.
Equipment and Common Upgrades
Most boats on the market carry a furling main and a self-tacking jib, which make deploying sails a pleasure and suit short-handed sailing. A swim platform is commonly fitted, as is air conditioning and a chartplotter; many also show a bimini, dodger and radar supporting an autopilot and a short-handed setup. For buyer consequence, the power and energy cluster matters most: a code zero and sometimes solar or an inverter extend range and autonomy, while a bow thruster is a less common owner upgrade that eases tight-quarter docking. Navigation is usually covered by the chartplotter and radar, and comfort by air conditioning and the standard enclosed head.
What to Inspect
Two deck details deserve a close look. The forward anchor well can be fouled by the jib's furling line lead, hindering access to the hatch anchor, and the anchor chain runs under the forward V-berth — sound for weight distribution but difficult to reach if it snags. In the galley, the twin sinks are shallow and offset to starboard, a weakness when the boat heels hard on port tack anchor. None of these are disqualifying, but confirm the furling leads are clear and the chain path is serviceable.
Availability and Buyer's Takeaway
These boats turn up in the United States and Antigua and Barbuda. For a shopper, the checklist is brief: verify the furling line does not foul the anchor hatch, confirm chain access under the V-berth is workable, check the galley sinks for port-tack heel interference, and decide whether the standard furling main or a full-batten rig better suits your sailing. With those cleared, the 37 is a roomy, easy-handling coastal cruiser.
