Overview
Known as one of the classics in the industry, the Hatteras 53 convertible was the industry standard for over 50 foot sport-fishing yachts until she was retired from the fleet in 1980. Her Long foredeck and sweeping sheer into an over-sized cockpit make this a stable and spacious platform for sportfishing. This three stateroom version has a nice queen sized master with an ensuite head. The other two rooms offer berths for 5 more guests and their own ensuite head.
This vessel has a total of 4600 hours with a recent borescope estimating 500 hours remaining with a fresh bottom job in 2014. There is no paperwork on the rebuild so bring your mechanical surveyor and buy a great boat. Therapy was a proven fish raiser with a pedigree of tournament wins with its previous owner.
