Owner Experience Review
Owners of the 43 Double CabinfromHatterasconsistently describe a stout, confidence-inspiring cruiser. Real-world use ranges from weekend overnights to extended family runs; one owner logged an 1100 NM trip in comfort with 2–4 people aboard. On the water, the boat rides level when others are rolling, feels “like a tank,” and is manageable for two—single-handing is reported as feasible. Many run economically at 8–10 kt and step up to 14–18 kt when they want to cover ground.
Performance notes shared by owners are consistent: a typical cruise around 17 kt at roughly 1900 rpm, with fuel burn “30-ish,” and a reported 2350 rpm WOT producing about 23 kt. Handling dockside and underway is described as straightforward for a couple.
Comfort aboard centers on the double-cabin layout with an aft/queen stateroom (boats commonly cited from the 1970–1984 era). Many examples still carry original floorings and curtains, so modernization is common, but the galley/salon setup works well for small parties on multi-day trips. Maintenance reflections are candid: tight engine-room access, window leaks and soft deck-core areas on older hulls, and raw-water pump issues that have triggered engine shutdowns. Owners also point to aging systems—autopilots, electrical and plumbing—plus routine fuel-system attention (Racors, repiping, new hoses and filters); one liveaboard framed purchase and refit around a $110k budget.
Pros and Cons
- Stout, level ride with owners calling it “a tank,” manageable for two and feasible to single-hand.
- Versatile cruising profile: economical 8–10 kt or faster 14–18 kt legs as needed.
- Practical double-cabin layout with aft/queen stateroom, comfortable for 2–4 on multi-day trips and long runs.
- Tight engine-room space makes many routine tasks more difficult.
- Aging systems and often-original interiors typically require modernization and refit work.
- Raw-water pump problems have been cited as causes of serious engine shutdowns.
