The Hunter 40.5 is a recreational keelboat, built predominantly of fiberglass. It has a fractional sloop B&R rig, a slightly raked stem, a walk-through reverse transom with a swimming platform and folding ladder, an internally mounted spade-type rudder controlled by a wheel and a fixed wing keel. It displaces 20,000 lb (9,072 kg) and carries 7,000 lb (3,175 kg) of ballast.[1]
The boat has a draft of 4.92 ft (1.50 m) with the standard wing keel.[1]
The boat is fitted with a Swedish Volvo or Japanese Yanmar diesel engine of 50 hp (37 kW). The fuel tank holds 40 U.S. gallons (150 L; 33 imp gal) and the fresh water tank has a capacity of 150 U.S. gallons (570 L; 120 imp gal).[1]
