Wet Hooker - Hatteras FOR SALE

FOR SALE — 2003 60' Hatteras Convertible “WET HOOKER”

“WET HOOKER” stands out as a premier 60’ Hatteras Sportfish Convertible on the market. The owner has invested heavily in upgrades: a full Garmin electronics suite, Starlink connectivity, soda-blasted bottom, fresh batteries, new shafts, plus extensive mechanical and interior improvements. In 2018 she received a complete Awlgrip repaint, new teak cockpit decking and covering boards, Amtico soles, new carpeting, and updated soft goods. Power comes from twin CAT C-30s at 1550 HP (aftercoolers completed) with ONLY 3,890 original hours. One of the few 60s fitted with a Pipewelders hardtop, she’s a bluewater, tournament-ready Sportfisherman with flybridge poise and motor yacht comfort—equally at home cruising or chasing pelagics offshore.

If you’re shopping for a late-model Hatteras 60 Convertible/Sportfishing Yacht, “WET HOOKER” deserves a spot at the top of your must-see list.

Features

Step aboard this Hatteras 60 Convertible Sportfish and you’ll find a welcoming salon designed for relaxing after a day offshore. A leather sectional with concealed rod storage faces an entertainment center with surround-sound stereo driven by a Denon receiver and a Sony six‑disc DVD changer, all complemented by a forty‑two‑inch LG plasma TV. Comfort details include tinted windows, a Whisperwall headliner and wall coverings, wood valances with integrated A/C vents, a stainless‑steel threshold, dimmer switching with DC low‑level lighting, and a Hatteras coffee table with storage. A high‑gloss maple interior and Amtico flooring complete this inviting space, while a Garmin 8612 multifunction display and an ICOM IC‑M504 VHF at the salon keep navigation and comms close at hand.

The galley is smartly arranged for life on the water, featuring Amtico sole, six Sub‑Zero drawers—four dedicated refrigerator drawers and two freezer drawers—along with a Sharp convection microwave, a Whirlpool four‑burner cooktop, and Corian solid‑surface countertops with backsplash. A decorative dinette pedestal anchors the dining area, deep drawer access simplifies stowage, and the straight companionway with dinette flows naturally for easy movement underway.

In the full‑beam master stateroom, a king berth with generous under‑bed storage is paired with a dresser and overhead entertainment center, nightstands, and a large cedar‑lined hanging locker. High‑gloss cabinetry, ample drawer space, overhead speakers, and a private en‑suite head create a quiet retreat, and a generator start/stop panel adds convenient control from the cabin. The forward VIP offers a queen walk‑around berth on gas‑assist hinges with cedar‑lined storage, upper hull‑side cabinets port and starboard with A/C vented through fluted valances, a twenty‑inch LCD TV, a full plexi‑mirror aft bulkhead, a generator start/stop panel, and its own en‑suite. The starboard guest stateroom is thoughtfully fitted with stacked bunks, a cedar closet that houses the central vacuum system, carpeted flooring, Whisper Wall paneling, and overhead speakers.

Three full heads serve guests and crew with Amtico flooring, bowed wood base cabinets, wood baseboards, mirrored ceilings, and plexi mirrors framing the backsplashes—durable, easy to clean, and quietly refined.

Up on the flybridge, the helm is tournament ready with four Garmin 8616 MFDs, a Garmin four‑foot open‑array radar, a Garmin autopilot, Starlink Wi‑Fi, Furuno RD‑33 depth, Fusion Bluetooth stereo, and CAT engine displays. Audio carries cleanly through four six‑and‑a‑half‑inch JL Audio speakers plus two eight‑inch JL Audio speakers. A custom helm pod, recessed radio box, two ICOM IC‑M504 VHF marine radios, and two ACR searchlights add capability, while robust single‑level electronic pod controls, an engine‑room gauge package, electric troll valve control, a console grab rail, a set of four rod holders, and a three‑sided enclosure with a Pipewelders hardtop deliver comfort, protection, and control. Polished aluminum welded flybridge and bow rails and an insulated drink box round out this purposeful space.

The cockpit is laid in teak with matching covering boards (new in 2018) and outfitted for serious game fishing and easy entertaining. You’ll find a bait freezer, an eighty‑inch fishbox with macerator, a transom fishbox, a drink box with storage under the steps, and quick‑disconnect seawater and freshwater washdowns. A Bluewater fighting chair sits center stage, supported by a Fusion stereo remote, two six‑and‑a‑half‑inch JL Audio speakers with tweeters, a starboard‑side icebox with Dometic ice dump, a port‑side sink, port‑side tackle drawers, a port‑side docking station, twelve‑volt electric reel outlets, and twin fifty‑amp Glendinning retractable shore‑power cords.

Mechanically, she runs on Caterpillar C‑30s rated at 1,550 HP with approximately 3,880 hours, backed by two Onan 21.5 kW generators and a 900 GPD watermaker. A Dometic ice maker capable of five hundred forty pounds per day keeps the fish and drinks cold. Practical systems include a fuel‑system priming pump, two voltage stabilizer/Buc Boost transformers, painted polyurethane finish in the engine room and lazarette, dual fuel filters, a transducer well, power‑assist steering, a prop puller, bronze dripless shaft and rudder seals, a macerator on the holding tank, and an oil‑change system serving engines, generator, and gears. Shore‑power management is simplified with a Cablemaster and a seventy‑five‑foot cord plus a second Glendinning shore‑cord reel, while a water manifold board and an air compressor add everyday convenience.

On deck and below the waterline, the yacht shows the right pedigree: a full Awlgrip repaint completed in 2018, a solid‑fiberglass hull bottom with glass and Divinycell hull sides, fiberglass stringers, bronze thru‑hulls, and a pultruded fiberglass rudder shelf. Running gear includes Nibral seven‑blade propellers on three‑and‑a‑half‑inch Alloy 22 shafts, with UL‑approved fuel tanks standing by. Powder‑coated side bridge rails, a stainless‑steel anchor chute, and a Danforth sixty‑pound anchor complete the package.

This is a versatile flybridge motor yacht—true Sportfish Convertible DNA—built for bluewater confidence, offshore range, and tournament‑ready action, yet equally at ease cruising with family and friends. If you want a Sportfishing Yacht that blends capability with comfort for game fishing and relaxed cruising alike, this Hatteras 60 makes it easy to say yes.
