Owners gravitate to the Hatteras42 Convertiblefor dual roles. The 110 sq.ft cockpit is laid out for serious sportfishing, accepting a fighting chair and a complete tackle center, while the two-stateroom, galley-down layout is commonly put to work for family cruising and even liveaboard duty. Teak paneling and cabinets, an open salon, and on later (1977) examples a restyled galley opened to the salon, give the boat a practical, comfortable interior that many listings describe as spacious—especially after refits.
On the water, the heavily built hull is repeatedly credited with a comfortable ride; owners have remarked that it gives a better ride in a rough sea. Guidance for the series cites an approximate 18–19-knot cruise and 21–22-knot top end, and owner notes around 1 mpg at about 1,800 rpm with certain 6-71 setups, recognizing that exact figures vary with year, condition, and refit.
Day-to-day upkeep reflects the boat’s era. The engine room is tight—many call it cramped—though routine access is generally satisfactory. Recurring discussion points include stuffing-box/shaft-log maintenance (reports range from dry to persistent weepers), deferred wiring and electrical issues on older boats, and the reality that heavy construction and older diesel packages often translate into higher service, refit, or repower costs.
