Entertaining is gracious with the air-conditioned, open saloon, which incorporates a U-shaped leather sofa to port, facing a beautiful, convertible dining table. Twin comfortable leather captain’s chairs are to starboard, located just forward of the extensive nav station, which has plenty of space for electronics and gear. Teak is everywhere, with many cabinets, drawers and cubbies for storage items.
A quick walk-thru finds the galley to port and the nav station to starboard, with the saloon forward, mid-ship. Seating in the saloon finds two captain’s chairs to starboard, and the convertible dining table to port. With extra-large hatches and port lights, and the luxurious leather seating, the salon is a welcoming area. Shades and curtains also provide privacy and cooling from the sun.
Aft to starboard is an air-conditioned guest cabin, with its double-sized berth, private-entry lavatory and head/shower combination. To port of the companionway, just aft of the galley is the third cabin, air-conditioned, with a single berth.
The large, air-conditioned, centerline master cabin is forward, with a queen-sized berth, an en suite private head/lavatory to port, and a walk-in shower with seat, to starboard.
The interior environment is controlled by two MarineAire A/C reverse cycle units (16-K btu unit in the salon, which is also ducted forward to the master suite). There is also a 16-K btu unit ducted to the galley and the two aft cabins.
Galley
In this era, Hunter was famous for adding versatile and distinctive features to their models. The Hunter 466 galley is a dream.
The Corian counters are classy, and the overhead shelf for cups, dishes and glassware is uniquely Hunter. A large top- and front- opening refrigerator and a separate, top-opening freezer provide substantial space for provisioning.
The 3-burner propane stove, oven, and built-in microwave make prep a snap, with storage galore.
Engines/Mechanical
One cannot beat the Yanmar 4-cylinder 4JH models for reliability and ease of maintenance. The ERGO has the turbo-charged version that provides 76 hp to a big 3-blade feathering Max Prop. Easy access to the engine’s top, front, and sides from under the companionway stairs and from each aft cabin. There is a remote engine oil filter assembly, which allows easy, quick and no-spill filter changes. Current hours are 1368.3.
The reliable Northern Lights 3-cylinder diesel generator is located just aft of the bulkhead behind the engine and is easily accessible, top and sides, from either aft cabin.
Electrical
120-Volt electrical power is supplied via:
• Northern Lights 6 kw diesel generator (85.2 hours showing on the Hobbs meter)
• 200’ of 30 amp shore power cords
These systems provide A/C power to the interior and to the Xantrex Freedom 25 130A battery charger. The Xantrex provides 2500 W of A/C power when needed. The batteries are also maintained by the alternator on the Yanmar while underway.
There are is a bank of two, large AGM house batteries; and an AGM starter battery.

Deck/Cockpit
The ground tackle is a 35-lb. Delta plow anchor on chain and rope rode running through a Simpson Lawrence electric windlass, conveniently located in the anchor locker.
The cockpit is large enough for crew to operate or guests to relax. The Bimini, dodger, connectors, and side curtains are supported by the arch and separate SS framework. The standard Hunter stern quarter seats provide the best seat in the house! The large swim platform and swim ladder add to the cockpit features.
