2002 Hampton 550

This 2002 Hampton 550 pilothouse cruiser combines solid fiberglass construction with twin 450-horsepower Cummins 6CTA 8.3 diesels paired to Twin Disc transmissions, delivering a cruising speed of 13.4 knots and a maximum speed of 20.8 knots. The 55-foot hull spans 15.5 feet in beam and features wide protected side decks, a full-beam lazarette, and ample engine room access for both power plants and the 8-kilowatt genset.

Accommodations include a forward stateroom with an island double berth and ensuite head, and an aft full-width master stateroom with an island queen berth and separate head. The salon centers on an L-shaped settee and cherry wood dining table seating eight, forward of which sits a U-shaped galley with full-sized refrigerator, three-burner cook-top, and Princess oven. The pilothouse sits above, with a helm console in burled wood and a settee that converts to a pilot berth, with pantograph doors accessing both port and starboard side decks. The flybridge offers helm visibility through bonded windows and polycarbonate enclosure, with wet bar and seating areas aft.

Electronics and systems reflect significant recent investment: a complete Furuno TZ3 multi-function display suite with radar, navigation, fish finder, autopilot, and AIS installed throughout the pilothouse and flybridge; a three-year-old Victron 3,000-watt inverter/charger with 920-watt lithium battery bank; WesMar hydraulic stabilizers; bow thruster; water maker; and a thermal imaging camera. Navigation and deck gear include a Maxwell windlass with three-station controls, Rocna 40-kilogram anchor with 275 feet of chain, and a Nick Jackson davit system.

Recent updates include new canvas and polycarbonate flybridge enclosure, new interior carpet and cushions, bottom paint and propspeed application, annual service records with oil analysis, and replacement of key systems throughout. Three reverse-cycle air-conditioning units, central vacuum, washer/dryer, and comprehensive LED lighting round out the cruising package.
