Introducing a Custom Long-Range Hatteras Yachtfish, expertly repowered with Cummins engines and equipped with solar technology, boasting an impressive cruising range of over 1,600 miles—perfect for your adventures in the Bahamas. This 1979 Hatteras Yachtfish has been transformed into a highly efficient vessel for extended off-grid journeys.
The original Detroit 8V71 turbo diesel engines have been replaced with powerful Cummins 6BT 210 HP four-stroke engines, paired with 3:1 reduction gears, allowing for a comfortable cruising speed of 9 knots while consuming less than 1 gallon per mile combined. It can reach a top speed of around 11.5 knots and maintains an economical cruise at 10 knots at 2,000 RPM.
With a fuel capacity of 1,100 gallons, you'll enjoy an exceptional cruising range. The freshwater system includes 300 gallons of storage and a 500-gallon-per-day water maker, ideal for lengthy stays away from the shore. The entire vessel features a 12-volt electrical system, and it is equipped with three modern Raritan marine heads that can operate with either salt or freshwater.
Powering your off-grid adventures is a Phasor Marine 17 kW generator with approximately 1,100 hours and a robust solar setup, including 1,350 watts of solar panels and five new lithium batteries providing around 1,550 amp-hours of capacity. This solar and lithium system powers nearly all onboard systems, ensuring you can enjoy quiet nights without constant reliance on generator power.
The vessel features a new Bimini top and isinglass enclosure, while its shallow draft of just 3'9" makes it perfect for exploring the Bahamas and other island destinations. Designed for extended cruising, it offers ample storage and efficient systems for prolonged off-grid living.
The timeless Hatteras Yacht Sport design combines classic style with modern independence, offering a spacious layout with three staterooms and three heads, allowing for both comfort and privacy. The master stateroom, along with two guest cabins and two full heads, ensures a pleasant stay onboard. The salon is filled with natural light, providing a welcoming space to unwind after a day of exploration.
