About Abiding Vibes
<p>With over 350 built, the Hatteras 53 Motor Yacht is a classic yachting design. Few American motoryachts of her era came close to matching the Hatteras 53 in comfort and 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 motoryacht her size. The wheelhouse is open to the salon, and a centerline door leads to a roomy aft deck area. The galley is down several steps from the helm/salon area and features large counter spaces, abundant storage, 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 in 1975, and in 1978 the flybridge was redesigned and a queen bed in the master stateroom became standard. Detroit 350hp GM 8V71N diesels cruise at 12–13 knots. Later models with 435hp 8V71TI diesels cruise at 15–16 knots.</p> <br> <i> Resolute Yachting is pleased to assist you in the purchase of this vessel.
