The 1979 Hatteras 46 Convertible is a fiberglass sportfishing convertible built during an era of over-engineered construction. Powered by twin Detroit Diesel 8v71 engines producing 900 horsepower combined, the boat reaches speeds of 22 knots and cruises at 18 knots. At 46 feet in length with a 14.75-foot beam, she offers the offshore capability and solid construction Hatteras built its reputation on.
The interior features two staterooms, two heads, a spacious salon, and a well-equipped galley. The layout combines practical design with classic cabin craftsmanship, accommodating both fishing expeditions and extended cruising.
The 46 Convertible remains a respected platform in its class, known for durability and proven offshore performance. Her design and construction represent the engineering standards of the era, offering a foundation that has held up over decades of use.
