This 1969 Hatteras 53 is a 53-foot fiberglass motor yacht powered by twin Detroit Diesel engines producing 650 horsepower. The boat cruises at 11 knots and carries a beam of 15 feet 1 inch, providing a solid platform for extended cruising.
The interior has been substantially updated over the years. The galley has been upgraded, and the head and shower area have been remodeled. The 12-volt house electrical system was modernized, while the original 32-volt starting and pumping systems were preserved. Additional equipment includes a watermaker, hydronic stabilizers, and upgraded battery systems. Interior condition is reported as excellent.
The mechanical foundations remain sound, with well-maintained Detroit Diesel engines at the core. The exterior would benefit from cosmetic attention and refinishing, though the structural integrity is intact.
