1978 53' HATTERAS ''Model Fish'' with twin Detroit Diesel Model 8V71N, 3 staterooms., 3 heads, 3 showers, galley, central air, generator. Rare 20' wide live aboard slip. THE HATTERAS 53 MOTOR YACHT IS A CLASSIC YACHTING DESIGN. FEW AMERICAN MOTOR YACHTS OF HER ERA CAME CLOSE TO MATCHING THE HATTERAS 53 IN COMFORT, LUXURY, AND NONE COULD MATCH THE QUALITY CONSTRUCTION LONG ASSOCIATED WITH THE HATTERAS BRAND. THE HATTERAS 53'S EXPANSIVE THREE-STATEROOM INTERIOR WAS CONSIDERED IDEAL IN A 1970s/1980s MOTOR YACHT HER SIZE. THE WHEELHOUSE IS OPEN TO THE SALON, AND A CENTERLINE DOOR LEADS TO A ROOM AFT DECK AREA. THE GALLEY IS DOWN SEVERAL STEPS FROM THE HELM/SALON AREA AND FEATURES LARGE COUNTER SPACES, ABUNDANT STORAG AND DINETTE FOR FOUR. FORWARD IS A GUEST STATEROOM (OR CREW CABIN) WITH OVER/UNDER BUNKS AND PRIVATE HEAD. AFT OF THE WALK-IN ENGINE ROOMS IS THE SECOND GUEST STATEROOM WITH TWIN BERTHS. FURTHER AFT, THE MASTER STATEROOM HAS A WALKAROUND QUEEN BERTH, DRESSING TABLE, AND EN SUITE HEAD WITH SHOWER. NOTABLE UPDATES INCLUDED THE ADDITION OF STALL SHOWERS IN THE AFT GUEST HEAD AND FORWARD HEAD.
