Boat Description

Introducing the classic 1978 Hatteras 53 Yacht Fisherman 'Dharma', a prime example of Hatteras craftsmanship with a respected pedigree. Featuring the original factory cockpit and powered by twin Detroit Diesel 8V71TI engines, this vessel offers an economical cruising speed of 9.5 knots, consuming about 10 gallons of fuel per hour. With a spacious three-stateroom, three-head layout, 'Dharma' is ideal for family cruising in Florida. The current owner has maintained its integrity, investing in recent upgrades such as new batteries, a bimini top, and a thorough compound and wax. Hull number 318 reflects the original design with no major alterations, appealing to classic yacht enthusiasts. Ongoing maintenance includes fresh engine repainting and installation of a new starboard-engine starter, GE refrigerator, Moen galley faucet, and a Pioneer 43-inch TV. Recent enhancements also feature a Craftsman 3300i portable generator and a West Marine 12-foot inflatable with a 9.9 HP Mercury outboard. The engines are in good condition, with recorded hours of 833 on the port and 842 on the starboard, having been previously overhauled. In November 2023, the yacht was serviced, including the replacement of cutlass bearings and application of bottom paint. While the original Onan 15 kW generator is currently inoperable, this yacht is not a charter vessel and boasts a clean interior without unusual odors. Among the 53 Hatteras Motor Yachts for sale, only two feature the sought-after factory cockpit configuration. The motivated owner is open to reasonable offers and includes the InterMarine Exclusive Delivery Package for new buyers, offering captain training and ongoing support. Showings are available by appointment. Personal items of the owner are excluded from the sale.
