1984 Hatteras Convertible

This 1984 Hatteras 46 Convertible is a fiberglass sportfish built on one of Hatteras' respected hulls. Powered by a single Detroit Diesel engine, the boat measures 46 feet in length with a 14.75-foot beam. The boat has undergone significant mechanical and safety upgrades focused on critical systems and offshore reliability.

The interior layout includes two cabins and one head. The electrical system has been substantially modernized with a lithium-ion house battery system (approximately $15,000 investment), a 4kW inverter, and solar panels with hardware included onboard. This setup enables roughly 48 hours of autonomous operation at anchor without running the generator. All major through-hulls have been replaced or professionally rebuilt, dripless shaft seals installed, rudder ports and rudder through-hulls fully replaced, and the hydraulic steering ram rebuilt. High-water alarms have been added throughout. The boat has received multiple electronics upgrades over the years; details are available for review onboard.

The exterior shows age-appropriate wear typical of a 1984 hull, including some cosmetic chalk on surfaces. The fire suppression system requires servicing or replacement. The structural integrity, mechanical systems, and safety components represent the primary investment areas and reflect the upgrades completed.
