The Hunter 41 AC is a 2004 model designed by Glenn Henderson and built by Hunter Marine in the USA, with an unknown total build count. It features a 40.32 ft LOA, 13.25 ft beam, and 19400.0 lb displacement, offering a balance of performance and comfort with a Comfort ratio of 25.99.
- Best for:
- This boat suits coastal cruisers and those seeking a comfortable, spacious interior with modern amenities, as evidenced by the high frequency of galley and comfort upgrades like Wallas refrigeration and Espar heaters.
- Bluewater capability:
- With a Capsize ratio of 1.98 and a D/L ratio of 193.58, the boat is moderately capable offshore but is primarily designed for coastal cruising rather than heavy bluewater passage-making.
- Comparables:
- Comparable boats include other early-2000s Hunter models and similar-sized American production cruisers from the same era that prioritize interior volume and ease of handling over heavy offshore displacement.
