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).
