This was a period when Hatteras was one of the dominant names in the convertible market—a brand closely idenjpgied with quality construction and world-class engineering. Heavily built on a low-deadrise hull with Divinycell coring above the waterline, the Hatteras 48’s two-stateroom teak interior features a mid-level galley and two heads with separate stall showers. The master stateroom with tapered queen berth, built-in dressers and private head with shower is forward, and the guest stateroom with over/under bunks and access to the day head is to starboard. A breakfast bar with two stools overlooks the galley which is two steps down from the salon level. Unlike many convertibles her size, the Hatteras 48 lacks a dinette. The large fishing cockpit came standard with a transom door, tackle center with sink, livewell, and an engine room access door. Note the under-coaming air intakes. The flybridge has three helm chairs with guest seating forward of the console. Standard 720hp 8V92 diesels cruise the Hatteras 48 at 22–23 knots (mid to high 20s top).
