The design was marketed as the Hunter 33, but is referred to as the Hunter 33-2004 or 33-2, to differentiate it from the other models that Hunter Marine has marketed under the same name, including the 1977 Hunter 33 and the 2012 Hunter E33, which remained in production in 2018 as the Marlow-Hunter 33.[1][2][3][4][5]
Production
The design was built by Hunter Marine in the United States between 2004 and 2012, but it is now out of production.[1][2][3][4][5]
Design
The Hunter 33-2 is a small recreational keelboat, built predominantly of fiberglass. The hull has a solid fiberglass monolithic bottom, with sandwich sides. The deck is a balsa and polyester fiberglass sandwich, with Kevlar reinforcing.[1][2][3][4][5]
The design has a fractional sloop B&R rig, a plumb stem, a walk-through reverse transom, an internally-mounted spade-type rudder controlled by a wheel and a fixed fin keel or optional wing keel. The mast is deck-stepped and made from aluminum. A mast-furling mainsail was an option. With the fin keel it displaces 10,269 lb (4,658 kg) and carries 3,578 lb (1,623 kg) of ballast. With the wing keel it displaces 10,410 lb (4,722 kg) and carries 3,459 lb (1,569 kg) of cast iron ballast. The below decks headroom is 6.33 ft (1.93 m)[1][2][3][4][5]
The boat has a draft of 5.50 ft (1.68 m) with the fin keel and 4.50 ft (1.37 m) with the optional shoal draft wing keel.[2][3][5]
The boat is fitted with a Japanese Yanmar diesel engine of 21 hp (16 kW). A 29 hp (22 kW) engine was a factory option. The fuel tank holds 25 U.S. gallons (95 L; 21 imp gal) and the fresh water tank has a capacity of 50 U.S. gallons (190 L; 42 imp gal).[1][2][3][4][5]
The design has a hull speed of 7.27 kn (13.46 km/h).[1][2][3]
