Hatteras Yachts 52 Convertible

The Hatteras 52 Convertible built from late 1986 to 1990 is an updated version of the original 52 Convertible Hatteras introduced in 1984. Incorporating the company’s “new-look” styling with reworked cabin windows and a new flybridge design, the result was a more aggressive-looking profile to go with the 52’s already awesome offshore reputation. Built on a solid fiberglass hull with a wide 16'4" beam, Hatteras offered the 52 with a choice of interiors with the three-stateroom layout proving the more popular. In this floorplan, the galley (with standard Sub-Zero refrigeration) and dinette are forward in the salon, and the amidships master stateroom was offered with twin single beds or a walkaround queen. Both heads have separate stall showers, and a stackable washer/dryer is located in the galley. The big 153 square-foot cockpit of the Hatteras 52 includes a bait and tackle center, freezer, removable fish box, in-sole bait well, heavy-duty 30" transom door, and direct access to the engine room. Topside, a U-shaped lounge can seat 6–8 people. The wide side decks make bow access easy and secure. GM 720hp 8V92 diesels cruise in the low-to-mid 20s (26–28 knots wide open).
