Overview
“Wild Bills” is an extensively upgraded and modernized 1974 45’ Hatteras. She has classic Hatteras lines with custom exterior and interior finishes, making her a truly unique sportfish. From her redesigned hull-side engine room vents and updated recessed frameless cabin windows to her baby blue hull, “Wild Bills” is a real eye catcher! Powered by CAT C-12 engines, she has the speed and economy to get you to and from the offshore fishing grounds in comfort and style.
Accommodations
“Wild Bill’s” features a custom two stateroom arrangement, with one
stateroom located in the forward bow section, that contains single
upper/lower berths to port with drawers and hanging locker to the
starboard and a private head aft. Continuing aft, the U-Shaped galley is
outboard to starboard. The second stateroom is located to the port aft
side and features single berths to port and starboard, with storage area
located beneath each berth, a 20" flat screen TV and en-suite head with
a separate walk-in shower stall. Continuing aft through the galley and
up a few steps, is the salon, which features a wet bar with a wine
cooler forward and a 40” flat screen TV with KVH M3 Satellite TV system.
There is a custom settee located in the port aft section of the
salon as well as a custom L-shaped settee to the starboard side, along
with a removable table and liquor storage cabinet with etched glass
front. There is ample storage beneath each of the settees. Engine room
access is located beneath the carpet runners and custom teak/ holly sole
