Owner Experience Review

Owners gravitate to the 86 ConvertiblefromHatterasfor offshore sportfishing and long-range passages. One forum description — "They're massive... it just seems to go on and on" — captures both the scale and the steady, big-boat tracking. Typical comfortable cruise is in the 18–20‑knot range with reports of about 24 knots at the top, and handling is that of a heavy convertible, planing deep‑V: confident in a seaway and momentum‑oriented.

On board, broker listings consistently show four-cabin layouts with dedicated crew quarters aft, often highlighting roomy VIP/master spaces. Owners and brokers note a traditional high‑gloss cherry interior, while enclosed-bridge configurations provide a protected helm and large social areas. The cockpit is very large, with expansive deck space suited to serious fishing or entertaining, making the platform equally at home for guest cruising or small-scale crewed charter.

Ownership discussions focus on multiple original engine options (MTU 16V2000, Detroit 16V149, Deutz, earlier 16V92s) and whether to rebuild or repower; an owner-sourced benchmark is to "plan on spending $150,000–$200,000 on the repower." The engine room is widely praised for being very large and accessible, yet the heavy machinery brings higher fuel and maintenance costs than smaller yachts. Large fuel tanks and the ability to slow cruise support passage-making; as always, specifics vary by boat and setup, and these notes reflect common themes in listings and owner forums.

Pros and Cons

• Steady, bluewater-capable ride from a heavy convertible deep‑V that tracks well offshore.
• Comfortable cruise around 18–20 knots with reported top of about 24 knots.
• Four-cabin plus crew layouts, high‑gloss cherry interior, and an enclosed bridge create protected social spaces and a huge cockpit for fishing or guests.
• Handling is momentum‑oriented like a heavy convertible and demands deliberate helm inputs.
• Fuel and maintenance costs are high compared with smaller yachts, despite an accessible engine room.
• Engine choice and potential repower are major ownership decisions, with owner benchmarks of $150k–$200k to repower.
