2004 Hatteras 65 Convertible

This 2004 Hatteras 65 Enclosed Bridge is a tournament-capable offshore convertible built during an era when the builder prioritized substantial construction, serious engine rooms, and systems designed for extended offshore use. Twin Caterpillar C30 diesels rated at 1450 horsepower each power the boat to a maximum speed of 33 knots with a cruising speed near 21 knots. A pair of Seakeeper 9 gyro stabilizers provide significant comfort improvement both underway and at anchor—an upgrade rarely seen in this class.

The cockpit is purpose-built for serious offshore fishing rather than styled to appear so. A release fighting chair, six transom tuna tubes, dual bait systems, integrated ice chipper, dedicated freezer, and substantial tackle storage work alongside rocket launchers and Rupp triple spreader outriggers. The layout supports tournament-level fishing operations with direct engine room access, cockpit control stations, and comprehensive washdown and lighting systems.

Below, the four-stateroom layout provides genuine separation between owner, guests, and crew. The master stateroom features a walkaround island queen berth with private ensuite head and separate shower. A forward VIP stateroom with island queen berth and private head is complemented by a guest bunk room and aft crew quarters that includes washer and dryer. The salon showcases traditional Hatteras joinery with solid cabinetry, leather seating, and excellent visibility. A full galley with granite countertops, four SubZero refrigeration drawers, and substantial storage supports extended cruising. An enclosed, climate-controlled bridge with excellent visibility provides year-round operation.

Mechanical systems reflect a commitment to redundancy and long-range capability. The starboard engine received a top-end rebuild in 2021; the port engine had its ECM replaced. Both generators were rebuilt in 2023. Twin Disc transmissions, twin 50-amp shore power systems, dual 20-kilowatt generators, and six 8D batteries support comprehensive electrical needs. Water systems include a watermaker and 400-gallon capacity. Updated Furuno and Simrad electronics, dual Icom VHF radios, and a vessel monitoring system complete the command center. The hull is a molded fiberglass semi-deep V with encapsulated stringers and cored topsides, supported by 4-inch stainless steel shafts, bronze struts and rudders, and 43-inch by 96-inch Nibral propellers.
