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.
