1978 Hatteras 53 Convertible

Undoubtedly, the 53 Hatteras Convertible is one of the most popular large sport fish ever built due to a combination of excellent quality, good design and a fair price.

The hulls and superstructure were built like a tank with the bottoms being about an inch thick with balsa cored sides and decks. With her 15'10" beam this is a big 53 footer and the layout takes maximum advantage of that space. The strong suit of the layout is a huge cockpit, salon and bridge, as is appropriate for a real sport fisherman. Most of the 53 Convertible’s weight is further aft, which helps her performance, particularly in a short 3’ chop where most boats of her size have trouble. Being built like a tank with a deep entry hull means that this boat doesn't bob around like a cork. She's a slow roller with a smooth ride.

One of Hatteras's best designs. Hard core battle wagon with high bow and low cockpit for fishing. Powered with 8V71 TI diesels, Dinghy Included, Generator, Would make a great fishing/ cruising boat or fishing condo on the water. Haul and Bottom Painted August 2023.
