Owner Experience Review
Owners choose the 40 Motor YachtbyHatterasfor practical family cruising and island‑hopping, thanks to its two‑stateroom, two‑head layout. The aft master with an island berth, a galley‑down, and a sizable midships lounge pair with large salon windows to create real livability for weekend leisure and overnight coastal runs; several owners specifically praise the comfort of the salon and berths. Interior volume is strong for a 40‑footer, and a few boats have even seen light charter use, though some owners have addressed rain‑water leaks near doorways with re‑caulking.
Underway, reported cruise sits around 15 knots with gasoline installs and nearer 17 knots with higher‑horsepower diesels, and the boat carries a heavy/displacement feel rather than being a speed demon. Owners note the 40 Motor Yachthas lower freeboard than many otherHatterasmodels; the boat is manageable in roughly four‑foot seas but becomes uncomfortable in five to seven feet, and while the heavy construction gives a stable, “survivable” ride in confused seas, comfort declines in steep, short chop.
On upkeep, owners treat shaft‑packing access/adjustment as a routine task and caution that, as with many older Hatterasyachts, electrical work, fuel‑tank issues, and wiring projects can add up. Engine installations vary by year and refit—some listings show Cummins 6BTA 5.9s—so verify power and condition on a per‑boat basis, and have surveyors check for water intrusion and re‑caulk history; engaging with owner forums is widely recommended before purchase.
Pros and Cons
- Two‑stateroom, two‑head layout with an aft master and a sizable salon works well for family cruising and weekend overnights.
- Large salon windows and a galley‑down arrangement create bright, usable living spaces for island‑hopping.
- Heavy construction delivers a stable, “survivable” ride in confused seas for its size.
- More heavy/displacement in feel than a speed demon, with reported cruise around 15–17 knots depending on power.
- Comfort falls off in steep, short chop, and 5–7 ft conditions are reported as uncomfortable.
- Upkeep on older examples can be daunting, with owners citing electrical, fuel‑tank, wiring work and re‑caulking to address door‑area leaks.
