This 1976 Hatteras 38 Double Cabin is built on a fiberglass hull designed for comfortable cruising with real staying power. The boat has been repowered with new Perkins diesel engines, each producing 300 horsepower, paired with a new Westerbeke generator. These upgrades deliver smooth, efficient performance while maintaining the reliability Hatteras is known for. The twin diesels cruise at 15 knots and reach 21 knots at full throttle.
The interior layout centers on two staterooms and two heads, making the boat equally suited to family cruising or extended time at anchor. The aft master stateroom features a large berth with a private head and shower, while the forward stateroom has flexible bunk configuration with its own head. The bright salon opens to the galley, which is fitted with full-size appliances and deep storage. Large windows flood the interior with natural light, and classic Hatteras woodwork throughout reflects the boat's solid build quality.
Deck space is generous, with wide side decks and railings for secure movement, a spacious aft deck for entertaining, and a large foredeck. The boat received fresh barrier coats and bottom paint in summer 2025. Both the new Perkins engines and Westerbeke generator carry minimal hours—under 300 and just over 300 respectively—representing a major mechanical investment that significantly extends the service life of this classic design.
