Meet The Master Plan —a well-maintained 2002 Hunter 326 that packs big-boat comfort into an efficient, easy-to-own 32-foot cruiser. She’s an excellent fit for couples or small families who want a capable coastal boat with smart upgrades for weekends aboard, cruising, or relaxing at anchor.

Power comes from a dependable Yanmar 2GM20 inboard diesel (20 hp) showing just 317 hours, with the seller reporting smooth, economical motoring at 4–5 knots around 2600 RPM—a great setup for low fuel burn and confidence when the wind goes light. Where The Master Plan really stands out is in the modernized electrical and cruising package. A lithium house bank (220Ah, 2025) paired with 440W of solar (2025) supports comfortable time off-grid, complemented by a DC‑to‑DC charger (2025) and galvanic isolator (2025) for reliable charging and marina protection. Inside, all-LED cabin lighting keeps power draw low while improving the feel below decks. Sailing and deck gear upgrades are equally compelling: new running rigging (2025) and an asymmetric spinnaker add confidence and fun for cruising and light-air performance. Ground tackle has been addressed as well with a new anchor and rode (2024), and the hull was serviced with a haul out and bottom paint (Sept 2025).

Below, the two-cabin, one-head layout delivers real privacy for guests or kids, with the salon settee expanding sleeping capacity when needed (seller notes: “technically 6,” with 2–4 being the realistic sweet spot). The galley is set up for actual cruising with a deep fridge/freezer, microwave, propane range, smart built-in trash, and practical storage throughout. Electronics and onboard comforts include key cruising essentials (as listed by the seller): GPS, VHF, depth sounder, wind speed/direction, navigation center, autopilot, plus entertainment features including a flat screen TV (with a new TV in 2024). If you’ve been shopping for a Hunter 326 that’s already been brought forward with solar + lithium and thoughtful reliability upgrades (head, macerator, batteries, rigging, bottom paint), The Master Plan is ready for immediate enjoyment—dockside, weekend cruising, or longer coastal hops.
