Overview
Absolutely the finest Hatteras 55 Convertible available! Completely fresh water boat until October 2012 when it was cruised from the Great Lakes down to the Chesapeake then Charleston. Then she returned to fresh water and is owned by knowledgeable owner that wants to move to a bigger boat.
"Infiltration" is a stellar example of the smooth riding 55 Hatteras. She has benefited from being a northern freshwater boat most of her life with winters prior to this one spent in indoor storage on the Great Lakes. The boat shows excellent from the exterior paint to the interior to the engine room and bilges. The current owner spent quite a bit of time finding a boat of this caliber and then has continued to improve on her with updates and excellent maintenance practices.
Layout and Accommodations
She is currently lying in Catawba Island, Ohio. "Infiltration" has an incredible ride, ultra reliable and low hour 1400hp 3412 CATs, and all the amenities and attention to detail that Hatteras is famous for.
