1988 Hatteras 48 Convertible

The 1988 Hatteras 48 Convertible is a 48-foot fiberglass fishing convertible with a 16-foot beam, built for serious offshore work and cruising. Twin Detroit Diesel engines producing 1,480 horsepower provide the power for this classic-era sportfisher, a design that remains respected for its seaworthiness and comfortable open-water performance.

The boat's layout centers on the convertible format, with a raised pilothouse commanding views and easy helm access, typical of the 48 in its generation. Below, the accommodations and galley provide the functional living space expected of a cruising convertible from this era.

Built from fiberglass, the hull is solid and established, having proven itself over decades of ownership and use in the saltwater environment typical of Hatteras fishing boats.
