Owner Experience Review

Owners describe the 48 MotoryachtbyHatterasas an easy liveaboard with a practical three-cabin layout, a generous aft deck, and a notably roomy salon. Families use it for weekend cruising and multi-day coastal runs, and several owners specifically mention comfortable trips to the Bahamas/Keys. Engine-room access gets consistent praise for being large with near stand-up space, which simplifies day-to-day checks.

On the water, the Hatterashull form is regarded as sea‑kindly, with a relatively flat aft deadrise that tends to reduce roll compared with some sportfisher designs. Owners report typical operation around 10 knots, noting that stabilizers are helpful—often considered necessary—at that speed. With 6V92s, a commonly cited fast cruise is about 15 knots at roughly 32 gph, and while these aren’t fast boats, they feel rock‑solid and are easy to dock single‑handed, with reassuring handling in wind thanks to the keel.

As with many older yachts, there are age‑related items to watch: window leaks, potential bottom blisters/core checks at haulout, and periodic replacement of appliances and heads. Some layouts have a tapered queen berth at the foot and shower curtains in multiple heads, which a few owners view as dated. Many report that older Detroit diesels (6V92/6‑71 series) eventually need overhauls—one owner cited around $24,000 for a single engine—and stabilizer retrofits commonly run about $35–45K, so careful engine surveys and budgeting are advised.

Pros and Cons

  • Liveaboard-friendly three-cabin layout with a roomy salon and large aft deck.
  • Sea-kindly Hatterashull tracks well in wind and is easy to dock single-handed.
  • Excellent engine-room access with near stand-up space simplifies routine service.
  • Not a fast boat; many owners run ~10 knots or cruise ~15 knots at roughly 32 gph with 6V92s.
  • Older Detroit diesels often need overhauls, and stabilizer retrofits can add $35–45K.
  • Typical aging-boat issues include window leaks, potential bottom blisters, and dated heads with shower curtains.
