The Hunter 45 CC is a 2005 model designed by Henderson/Hunter Design Team and built by Hunter Marine (USA), with an unknown total hull production count. It features a 43.21 ft LOA, 14.42 ft beam, and 23830.0 lb displacement, offering a balance of interior volume and performance typical of the era's coastal cruisers.
- Best for:
- This boat suits coastal cruisers and weekend sailors who prioritize spacious, comfortable interiors and easy handling over extreme offshore performance. Its 25.86 comfort ratio and 16.17 SA/D ratio indicate it is well-suited for relaxed cruising rather than high-performance racing.
- Bluewater capability:
- With a 2.01 capsize ratio and 170.15 D/L ratio, the Hunter 45 CC is primarily designed for coastal cruising rather than heavy bluewater passage-making, though its 23830.0 lb displacement provides adequate stability for protected offshore passages.
- Comparables:
- Comparable boats include the Hunter 43 and Beneteau 461, which share similar production eras and roles as spacious, trailerable coastal cruisers with fin keels and balanced rigs. These models offer similar interior layouts and ease of handling for short-handed crews.
