The Hunter 40.5 is a recreational keelboat, built predominantly of fiberglass. It has a fractional sloop B&R rig, a slightly raked stem, a walk-through reverse transom with a swimming platform and folding ladder, an internally mounted spade-type rudder controlled by a wheel and a fixed wing keel.

The boat has a draft of 4.92 ft (1.50 m) with the standard wing keel.[1]
The boat is fitted with a Swedish Volvo or Japanese Yanmar diesel engine of 50 hp (37 kW). The fuel tank holds 40 U.S. gallons (150 L; 33 imp gal) and the fresh water tank has a capacity of 150 U.S. gallons (570 L; 120 imp gal).[1]
Factory standard equipment included a 130% roller furling genoa, four two-speed self tailing winches, anodized spars, marine VHF radio, knotmeter, depth sounder, AM/FM radio and CD player with four speakers, anchor roller, hardwood cabin sole, fully enclosed head with shower, private forward and aft cabins, a dinette table that converts to a berth, complete set of kitchen dishes, microwave oven, dual stainless steel sinks, three-burner gimbaled liquid petroleum gas stove and oven and life jackets.
