With the wing keel it displaces {{convert|26000|lb|kg|0|abbr=on}} and carries {{convert|9500|lb|kg|0|abbr=on}} of ballast.

The boat has a draft of {{convert|6.50|ft|m|abbr=on}} with the standard keel and {{convert|5.50|ft|m|abbr=on}} with the optional shoal draft keel.

The boat is fitted with a Japanese Yanmar JH2HTE diesel engine of {{convert|76|hp|kW|0|abbr=on}}. The fuel tank holds {{convert|100|u.s.gal}} and the fresh water tank has a capacity of {{convert|200|u.s.gal}}.

Factory options included a two cabin and workshop arrangement, a three cabin and four cabin configuration. Standard equipment included an electric halyard winch, self-draining transom propane lockers, dual offset anchor rollers and a full-beam aft cockpit.

The design has a PHRF racing average handicap of 105 with a high of 108 and low of 95. It has a hull speed of {{convert|8.44|kn|km/h|2|abbr=on}}.{{cite web|url = http://www.sailingjoy.com/sailboat_specs/sailboat_specs/view/4440/hunter-460|title = Sailboat Specifications for Hunter 460 |access-date = 1 January 2019|work = Sailing Joy|author= InterVisionSoft LLC|year = 2018|archive-url= https://web.archive.org/web/20190102094957/http://www.sailingjoy.com/sailboat_specs/sailboat_specs/view/4440/hunter-460|archive-date= 2 January 2019|url-status= dead}}
