Review of the Hunter 336 by Bob Peters
| Year built | 1995 |
| Location of boat | Hull MA |
| The boat is sailed on | Open ocean |
| 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 | 1999 |
| If the clock could be turned back, would owner buy again? | Yes, no regrets except maybe paid a little too much. |
| Gear that's been added | Have added no major gear. Did move radar display from nav station to cockpit. |
| Structural or complex improvements | Not yet. Will be moving topping lift to run to cockpit. |
| The boat's best features | Cabin layout is efficient and comfortable. Although never alone aboard, I can single hand the boat. |
| Problem areas in terms of design, materials, maintenance, etc. | Having syphon break over engine is bad design; it leaked on top engine and now area around 3rd injector is rusted. Internal screw punctured hole throguh hull; the screws holding down teak sole panel at foot of bow berth are much longer than they have to be; a little hull flexing resulted in screw workign its way through. Nav tables should face forward. All 3 tank sensors have been problematical. |
| Sailing characterisitcs | Daysails to multi-week voyages with overnight legs; sailed in Gulf of Maine, Mass Bay, Cape Cod Bay, Buzzards Bay and Narragansett Bay. Conditions from calm to 30 k winds. Averaging 3 miles off shore but have been up to 20 miles out. |
| Motoring characterisitcs | Motors fine. |
| Liveability | Very liveable for two; with four aboard with gear it does get a little crowded. |
| The owner's experience in dealing with Hunter (if any) | Customer service has been very good generally. I would have appreciated a little more pro-active advice or help on hull hole problem. |
| The owner's experience with the boat dealer or broker, if any | Seacoast Marine guys were great; realize they represent the seller so can't fault them for my paying a few grand too much. |
| Other comments | We love our Pilgrim. |
