This 1972 Whitcraft Hatteras is a 45-foot fiberglass cruiser built on a modified deep-V hull, representing a distinctive collaboration between two respected American boatbuilders. Twin turbocharged Perkins diesel engines deliver 160 horsepower each, paired with a 7-kilowatt generator. The boat carries 216 gallons of fuel and 100 gallons of fresh water, with a 3-foot-2-inch draft that allows for shallow-water exploration while maintaining offshore capability.
The layout maximizes living space across four cabins with two full berths. The main salon features a sofa to port and helm station to starboard, with large windows creating a bright gathering area. The galley sits on the starboard amidship with a three-burner electric range and refrigerator-freezer combination. A forward vee berth and aft master stateroom with private exterior access provide sleeping quarters, while a single head with shower stall serves the accommodations.
The boat is well-equipped for extended cruising, with full 120/240-volt shore power systems, VHF radio, and a Raymarine A65 multifunction display with GPS and sonar. Dual Coleman Mack air-conditioning units with reverse-cycle heating maintain comfort year-round. The 12-volt DC system runs on engine and house batteries plus a generator battery. Exterior features include a flybridge with bimini top, bow and aft deck seating, mahogany railings, and full cleating for line handling.
