50 Convertible

Aside from the “new look” window and flybridge styling, there is little to differentiate the Hatteras 50 Convertible pictured here from her predecessor, the well regarded Hatteras 50 Convertible produced from 1991 to 1998. Both boats share identical specifications, and the floorplans of the original Hatteras 50 were carried over to the new model with only minor decor updates. The standard three-stateroom interior—with high-gloss cherry (or maple) cabinets, leather upholstery, and an expansive salon with dinette and low-profile galley forward—provides the right mix of comfort and luxury for extended cruising. The master stateroom is amidships with walkaround queen bed, hanging locker, and en suite head. The forward VIP stateroom has a centerline island berth and direct access to the second head, and the second guest stateroom to port features upper/lower berths, space for a washer/dryer, and private head access. A two-stateroom layout with a mid-level galley and enlarged salon was optional. The huge cockpit came standard with bait and tackle center, in-deck fish box, bait freezer, transom door and gate, and engine room access door. Cat 1400hp 3412 diesels cruise at 27–28 knots (mid 30s top).
