This 1980 Hatteras 53 is a fiberglass motor yacht powered by twin Detroit Diesel 8V71TI engines rated at 450 horsepower each, with approximately 2,400 hours of service. The boat runs at a cruising speed around 15 knots and reaches roughly 18–19 knots at top speed. A Northern Lights 20kW generator with approximately 150 hours rounds out the mechanical package. The yacht measures 53 feet in length with a 15-foot, 1-inch beam and carries 700 gallons of fuel, 245 gallons of fresh water, and a 150-gallon holding tank.
The interior is laid out as a three-stateroom, three-head configuration designed for extended cruising or liveaboard use. The salon spans roughly 174 square feet with an open, bright design. Accommodations include a master stateroom with a walkaround queen berth, a guest stateroom with twin berths, and a forward bunk room with over-and-under bunks. All three heads include showers. The galley features JennAir appliances including a four-burner cooktop, oven, dishwasher, and full-size refrigerator-freezer, along with a booth-style dinette.
The aft deck offers custom U-shaped seating and a wet bar with sink and ice maker. Staircase access leads to the flybridge, which features an updated helm station and ample seating. The salon's lower helm was removed to create additional living space and now includes a hidden automated flatscreen television.
Recent work includes new paint on the hull, house, and decks; serviced heads and black water and freshwater systems; newer batteries; and updated upholstery throughout. Rail covers and cushions remain in good condition. The boat is scheduled for hauling and bottom work.
