Vessel Description

TWIN 600 hp Detroit Diesel 8V92TIs 3300-hrs Diesels Re-Fit 2003 * Superb Mechanical Condition * A must see - Best-selling midsize convertible of her day, the Hatteras went head to head against the Bertram 46 Convertible. With her spacious accommodations and upscale teak interior, the Hatteras 46 set the standards for every other boat in her class. Built on a solid fiberglass hull with a full-length keel. This is the popular two stateroom plan. The original galley-down layout features an amidships master stateroom with twin berths and a large private head. Over/under berths are located in the forward guest stateroom with private access to the second head. Aside from being an excellent sportfishing boat with good open-water handling characteristics, the traditional teak interior made her a popular choice with cruisers. A tackle center with sink, livewell, and transom door were standard in the 125 square-foot cockpit. Huge 8-cylinder high output diesels (600hp 8V92TIs) push this 46 footer to 27 knots. Happy Daze was completely gutted and refitted starting in 2003. She was restored to her former glory and is a beautiful piece of history today.
