2002 Hunter 356 – MURDER SHE BOAT

Well-Equipped • Spacious Interior • Proven Performance

MURDER SHE BOAT is a beautifully maintained Hunter 356 that delivers the perfect blend of comfort, handling, and performance for coastal cruising or extended liveaboard life. Designed by Glenn Henderson, the 356 is known for its innovative design, ease of sailing, and roomy accommodations, making it one of the most popular models in Hunter’s lineup.

Down below, she features a bright and inviting interior with generous 6'5" headroom, a large U-shaped dinette, and two private cabins—highlighted by a true queen-sized aft berth with excellent ventilation and storage. The galley is fully equipped with a two-burner propane stove and oven, top- and front-loading refrigeration, microwave, and deep double sinks—perfect for onboard entertaining or meal prep underway.

On deck, MURDER SHE BOAT is equipped with a stainless steel arch with integrated mainsheet traveler, in-mast furling mainsail, and a furling genoa for easy sail handling. Her Raymarine autopilot, wind, depth, and speed instruments, and Garmin chartplotter make navigation a breeze. The walk-through transom with swim platform and hot/cold cockpit shower adds comfort and functionality at anchor.

Powered by a Yanmar 3GM30F 27HP diesel engine, she cruises reliably and efficiently. Her shoal 5’ draft allows access to shallow anchorages while still providing excellent upwind performance, thanks to over 6,000 lbs of ballast and a solid hull-to-deck joint.
