1987 Hatteras 41 Convertible

There is something reassuring about an older Hatteras that has been properly cared for. They were built heavily, designed to run, and intended to be maintained rather than replaced every few years. This 1987 Hatteras 41 Convertible is a good example of exactly that.

She has had just four owners and has spent her life in freshwater, with inside heated storage during the off-season. Power is provided by twin Covington/Detroit

Diesel 6-71TIC turbo diesels rated at 465 horsepower each, showing approximately 2,100 original hours. The engines have been maintained by the same mechanic for more than 10 years. Direct-drive propulsion, substantial construction and a proven Detroit Diesel package make this a boat that will immediately make sense to someone familiar with classic Hatteras Convertibles.

The cockpit is laid out for serious use, with a transom door, cockpit freezer, wet bar and storage, along with an extended canvas brow for additional protection. A bow pulpit and windlass handle anchoring duties, and a freshly tuned spare set of propellers is included.

Up on the flybridge, there is generous seating, twin helm chairs and a full enclosure that was replaced in 2021. Navigation equipment includes Garmin GPS/chartplotter, Robertson autopilot, Icom VHF and Data Marine instrumentation.

Inside, the 14'3" beam gives the boat the kind of interior volume these older Hatteras models are known for. The salon features a sleeper sofa, refrigerator, wine cooler, microwave, sink and plenty of storage, with teak trim throughout. Accommodations include a forward stateroom with island-style berth, a second cabin with over/under bunks, and an enclosed head with separate shower. Recent updates include new televisions and a new sound system.

This is not a boat that needs to be oversold. It is a well-kept, freshwater Hatteras with long-term mechanical care, traditional direct-drive diesel power, a practical two-stateroom layout and the construction that built the Hatteras reputation.

For the buyer specifically looking for a classic Hatteras Convertible, she deserves a closer look.
