40 Hunter 1996 Boat for Sale

Telok Ayer Boat | 40' Hunter 1996

This 1996 Hunter 40.5 sloop offering a well-proportioned blend of coastal cruising comfort and manageable sail handling, backed by a comprehensive 2023 pre-purchase condition survey that found the vessel in good overall structural shape with a handful of maintenance items typical of a boat of this age.

Construction & Hull

The hull is solid fiberglass below the waterline with a balsa-cored deck and topsides above the chine, reinforced by a molded structural liner and fiberglass frame grid. The survey found the hull laminate, bulkheads, and bulkhead bonds structurally sound, with no deficiencies affecting seaworthiness.

Deck, Cockpit & Rig

Decks and cockpit are solid, self-bailing, and finished in molded fiberglass with etched non-skid. The cockpit is shielded by a canvas dodger with clear isinglass windows. The mast and boom are anodized aluminum (Z-Diffusion mast, Forespar Leisure Furl boom) in good condition, with self-furling main and 110 genoa operated from the cockpit — ideal for short-handed sailing.

Interior & Accommodations

Interior joinery is varnished and oiled teak with teak-and-holly soles, in good, well-maintained condition with average wear. The galley features a gimbaled propane/electric stove and an Adler Barbour refrigerator/freezer (currently unwired). Two heads are served by a 35-gallon holding tank, and fresh water is supplied by four tanks totaling 105 gallons with a 6-gallon water heater.

Mechanical & Systems

Power comes from a Volvo Penta MD22L diesel (50 hp), Electrical systems (DC and AC) are bundled, labeled, and functional, with dual AGM house batteries and a dedicated engine-start battery.

Electronics & Equipment

She is well equipped with a Raymarine E80 chartplotter/radar, ST60 instruments, ST7000 autopilot, Simrad VHF with AIS, and a Whitlock pedestal steering system. Ground tackle includes a Danforth and Lewmar anchor with a windlass.
