New Hunter e36 Now Available in Electric or Hybrid
Hunter Marine has launched a revolutionary new Hunter e36 that is propelled by an electric motor that provides virtually endless regenerative power. Powered by six dedicated batteries the Elco EP4000T motor produces the same thrust as a 40 Hp diesel engine. The batteries can be re-charged by wind and solar units and also through 'free-spinning' of the propellor when under sail. A Hybrid version is also available that includes the use of a generator to charge the batteries and also provide direct power to the motor. With the hybrid version the range is over a 1000 nautical miles on a single tank.

The H-e36 boasts the new sleek design found on the
Hunter 39 and Hunter 50, with a hull design that is
even further advanced. This change is part of Hunter’s
evolution of hull design that couples stern reflex
with a bow hollow creating an effect that mimics a
longer overall hydrodynamic waterline, therefore increasing
the hull speed The deck features a more modern profile
with large side windows ensuring more interior light
while the cockpit has been lengthened and bolstered
by a fold down swim platform.
The e36 still retains it’s telescopic stainless
steel ladder, allow swimmers to reboard easily after
some aquatic fun and games.
The longer cockpit allows for a larger and more airy
master aft cabin with even more headroom. Overall
the interior has been enhanced with a richer look
and feel. The hardwood flooring and Corian countertops
add elegance, and no matter which of the two salon
designs you choose – the traditional U-shape
or a more conventional layout which allows up to five
guests to face one another – you will be more
than comfortable in your home on the sea.
The new e36 is also available in a performance-enhanced
version, that will feature a deep draft lead keel,
upgraded winches, spinnaker gear including a retractable
bow sprit, a larger wheel, folding propeller, fat-top
mainsail for increased mainsail power and taking out
the
swim platform will save on weight and allow for a
more open cockpit.
