Overview
About this vessel
dharma is a 1978 Hatteras 53 Yacht Fisherman with a functional original factory cockpit. She is hull number 318 of one of the most sought after 53 Motor Yacht models by Hatteras Yachts. One noted fact about this boat is she is very much in its original condition and not drastically altered, modified, or modernized by any of the previous owners. The current knowledgeable owner has kept that in mind but enjoyed the boat for local use in Florida with his family and friends.
All Detroit Diesel engine services are done by an experienced Detroit Diesel mechanic who has 35 plus years of Detroit Diesel experience. Engine Oil and Filter change was just completed in February 2024. Maintenance and repair records, all new parts installations, etc. for the past three years are documented and available upon request by potential buyers. An Insurance Survey report (September 2023) is also available.
In August 2023 the boat was hauled out for running gear repairs to replace cutlass bearings, rudder shaft seals and bearings, replace all zincs and apply Petit Prop Coat on running gear. Mechanically, engines are in good running condition. At some point in the past, engines were overhauled but the current seller does not have any records. The original Onan 15 Kw generator is not working.
For Classic Yacht Enthusiast the boat is ideal for a restoration project. Also, the desirable 3-stateroom/3-head layout is ideal for anyone looking for a Home Away from Home to get away from the cold in the winter months. The current knowledgeable Hatteras owner has enjoyed her with his family and now ready to part with her.
Aft Cockpit
Boarding the boat from either side is a breeze. Functional all fiberglass cockpit offers easy access to the swim platform through the transom gate. Fishing, swimming, scuba diving, line handling and dinghy handling is so much easier. Traditionally a feature of sport fishing boats, motor yacht owners have discovered this versatile feature offers extra convenience and enjoyment. The swimming platform has Weaver Snap Davits for inflatable dinghy mount to swim platform. The out-board engine mount is to the port side of the cockpit. Fold-down ladder makes it easier to get in and out of the water. Underneath the cockpit floor is an extra 240-gallon fuel tank that was installed at the factory, a feature of the Yacht Fisherman for fishing enthusiast. A GFI electrical outlet is on the port side and a wash down spigot is on the starboard side.
