Hatteras 53 Motor Yacht Even Keel

"Even Keel" is a 1985 Hatteras 53' Motor Yacht currently listed for sale in Fort Lauderdale, Florida. This 53 Hatteras Classic Motor yacht, “EVEN KEEL” (ex. “STILL THE ONE”) is the cleanest, best maintained Hatteras of its vintage I think I have ever seen. She has been loved by the previous owner and its present owner. There has not been one inch of this boat that hasn’t been touched or hatches that have not been opened. From all the caulking, the finishes on the hand rails, to bilges, and engine beds, this Hatteras is a sight to be seen and enjoyed! There is an extremely long list of upgrades and updates on this vessel which are noted in the listing of this vessel. The Owners have run this boat and maintained this boat as if they were going to own her for the rest of their lives. “EVEN KEEL” is the vintage yacht that is “STILL THE ONE” you have to see to believe!!!!
