The Hunter 25.5 is a recreational keelboat, built predominantly of fiberglass, with wood trim. It has a masthead sloop rig, a raked stem, a vertical transom, a transom-hung rudder controlled by a tiller and a fixed fin keel. It displaces 4,500 lb (2,041 kg) and carries 1,600 lb (726 kg) of ballast.[1][3]
The boat has a draft of 4.50 ft (1.37 m) with the standard keel and 3.33 ft (1.01 m) with the optional shoal draft wing keel.[1][3]
The boat is normally fitted with a small outboard motor for docking and maneuvering.[1][3]
The fin keel version of the design has a PHRF racing average handicap of 210 with a high of 204 and low of 231. The wing keel version has a PHRF racing average handicap of 213 with a high of 198 and low of 234. It has a hull speed of 6.3 kn (11.67 km/h).[3][5][6]
