Review of the Hunter 33.5 by Rod Beukenkamp

Year built 1988  
Location of boat Grand Rivers, KY  
The boat is sailed on Lakes  
How the boat is used Weekends and longer  
Normal wind strength 10-15 knots  
Average size of crew 2-4  
Liveaboard? No  
Owner bought the boat in 2005  
If the clock could be turned back, would owner buy again? Absolutely, Owner who sold it to us now has a new Beneteau 343 and dislikes it being more tender in 20 knot winds than the H33.5, Also his wife misses the excellent storage lockers on the H33.5. We have found the H33.5 to be a great handling boat.  
Gear that's been added  
Structural or complex improvements  
The boat's best features Great sailing and handling in changing lake wind conditions. Great space and storage for everything.

Motoring characterisitcs 6.4 knots at 3,000 RPM, 18 HP Yanmar  
Liveability Have stayed onboard for up to 4 days with 5 of us.
