The Hatteras 65 Convertible is a restyled and updated version of the original Hatteras 65 Convertible produced in 1987–2000. Like her predecessor, the 65 is a heavily built yacht whose blend of comfort and range were designed to compete with the best boats in her class. The hull is solid fiberglass below the waterline with prop pockets to level the engines and reduce draft. The standard open bridge offers an extended deck overhang with a raised helm deck for increased visibility, and an optional enclosed flybridge could be fitted with a spiral staircase to the starboard side of the salon. Two interior arrangements were offered. The standard four-stateroom interior features an amidships master with a queen bed, plenty of storage space, and a private head with tub/shower. The VIP stateroom includes a queen-size berth and a private head. Upper and lower berths are featured in the guest stateroom with access to the day head, and the captain's stateroom is aft with an upper and lower bunk and private head. The washer and dryer are also located aft. The 65’s huge tournament-style cockpit provides more than enough space for a whole team of anglers. No lightweight, Cat 1,400hp engines cruise at 25–26 knots.
