Hatteras Yachts 60 Convertible

With her long foredeck, graceful deckhouse, and massive cockpit the Hatteras 60 Convertible (note that an earlier Hatteras 60 was built in 1977–86) was an impressive display of boat-building excellence by the standards of her day. She rides on a beefy modified-V hull with cored hullsides, propeller tunnels, and a deep keel. At least eight floorplans were offered in the 60—far more than any previous Hatteras convertible. The standard layout, updated in 2003, is arranged with three staterooms with the owner’s cabin amidships and a spacious VIP stateroom at the bow. Regardless of the floorplan configuration, these are lush accommodations indeed for a sportfishing boat. On deck, the huge cockpit of the Hatteras 60 is fitted with a full array of fishing amenities. The flybridge could be fully enclosed and air-conditioned for those who sought the ultimate in luxury. Additional features include frameless cabin windows, a choice of interior woodwork, and a meticulously finished standup engine room. Standard 1,400hp Cat diesels cruise at a fast 27–28 knots (low 30s top). Note that she was replaced in 2007 with all-new Hatteras 60 Convertible.
