1982 Hatteras 43 Sportfish

Cape May, New Jersey

$164,900

Introduced in 1979, the Hatteras 43 Convertible was the replacement boat for the aging Hatteras 42 Convertible.  She was built on a then-new double chine hull with a wide 14'6" beam and shallow keel.  Not only is the ride drier than the old 42; the wider beam made for a larger Engine Room and a more spacious interior.  The standard Two-Stateroom, Single-Head interior of the 43 Convertible boasts a surprisingly spacious Salon with a built-in L-lounge to port and  barrel chair to stb.  A full-service Galley is four steps down from the Salon, to port.  The Master Stateroom with twin berths is across from the Galley, and the Bow Stateroom has adult-sized V-berths, sink and concealed toilet.  An alternate layout with a double bed in the Master Stateroom came out in 1982.  On the downside, the Cockpit dimensions of the Hatteras 43 are modest for a boat this size.  (Note the Engine Room air intakes under the Cockpit coaming.)  Topside, the Flybridge seats six.  The wide side Decks and secure handrails of the Hatteras 43 are a plus.
