Overview

With her raised wheelhouse and sturdy profile, the Hatteras 48 Long Range Cruiser, BLACK POWDER is a no-nonsense serious offshore passage maker.  Port & starboard wheelhouse doors provide quick outside access for shorthanded line handling.  The 48 LRC is heavily built on a solid fiberglass, full-displacement hull with rounded bilges and a long, deep keel with the running gear well protected. Her high flared bow keeps her decks dry. Her full-beam owner’s stateroom has an  athwartship island queen berth with generous storage for liveaboards and even a bathtub in the ensuite head. The guest cabin is forward with an attached head with stall shower. On the main deck, the galley is forward in the saloon, and the wheelhouse is fitted  with a U-shaped dinette and a watch berth. BLACK POWDER has a custom dinette on the boatdeck just abaft the flybridge shaded by it's own bimini. With her twin continuous duty rated bulletproof Detroit 4-53's producing 112HP each, BLACK POWDER will cruise at 8-9 knots burning only 9 gallons per hour. At a 7-knot cruising speed the range far exceeds 2,000 miles. This broker has helped a number of clients purchase well-loved Hatteras LRC's 48's that have ably cruised from Alaska to Newfoundland. Trips from New England via Bermuda to say Antigua are well within her capability, though she is equally well-suited for Great Looping or living aboard.
