Boat Description

Introducing the 1978 Hatteras 53 Motoryacht, powered by twin 8V71 Detroit Diesel engines and equipped with a 2019 Onan 21.5 KW generator. This remarkable vessel was once owned by the celebrated country music icon, Eddy Arnold. It has been meticulously maintained, with all services up to date, and has largely lived in a covered freshwater slip. The yacht features three private staterooms and three bathrooms, each with separate showers, along with four marine air/heat units for optimal comfort. Recent updates include new appliances, flooring, water heater, and electronics, ensuring a modern experience. The expansive upper helm area is enclosed and features over $18,000 worth of new Bimini and Strataglass enclosure installed in 2023. Equipped with a new AIS system as of May 16, 2024, the boat also includes two spotlights, Garmin navigation, VHF radios, and a windlass anchor with helm and foot controls. Enjoy the forward seating area, upper helm storage with cushions, and two storage boxes on the bow. The aft deck is thoughtfully enclosed with solid windows and a wood door entry from both port and starboard, complemented by a refreshment center featuring a sink, icemaker, and refrigerator. A door leads down to the swim platform. Step inside the lower helm and main salon, where you are greeted by double wood doors leading to a cozy seating area with a couch, two electric recliners, a table, and a flat-screen TV. The helm station is forward, boasting updated Raymarine GPS navigation and a new radar dome. To the right, descend into the dinette and galley, where you'll find a starboard dinette table that converts to a sleeper, and a galley outfitted with modern appliances, including a refrigerator-freezer, oven, 4-burner cooktop, Bosch convection oven, and Haier microwave, all set on new flooring with ample storage. The forward stateroom features bunk beds on the starboard side and a dresser on the port, along with a head that includes a separate enclosed shower, closet, and space for a washer and dryer. As you head aft, you'll find large engine rooms on either side housing the Detroit Diesel engines, with easy access to mechanical components, including a new water heater installed in 2024. At the end of the hall, the port room offers privacy with two twin beds and storage underneath, while the starboard side features two enclosed heads with separate showers. The master stateroom is at the aft, featuring twin beds, a dresser, and a spacious hanging closet. This Hatteras is exceptionally clean, well-maintained, and full of upgrades, having spent most of its life in a covered freshwater slip.
