About this boat

This 1978 Hatteras 53 Motor Yacht is listed at 53.08 ft in overall length and 15.83 ft in beam. Let me introduce you to Puddy Tat III. Your family and friends are going to love this fine vessel. She is a very large and comfortable motor yacht with many upgrades to comfort, style and mechanics. With the huge master aft cabin with walk around queen, large closets, tons of storage throughout, 2 spacious guest cabins, and 3 full heads, there is plenty of room for everyone. It even has a spiral staircase that makes easy access from the sundeck to the swim platform. Duel helms, from either center interior or fly bridge, she is easy to maneuver in any weather, especially with with bow thruster. This infamously solid Hatteras 53' MY was built to last, so don't let the age fool you. Plus, it has been lovingly cared for with many upgrades and great maintenance throughout the years. This vessel is a dry boat. It does not have any water leaks from hatches, windows, etc. It is fully loaded with: new electronics, camera's fwd and aft, autopilot, radar, solar, and it is fully inverted. That's right all the 110v on the boat is through a powerful Magnum Inverter. If you need more, fire up the low houred newer (2015) Onan 10KW generator and get that a/c or heat blowing. The galley is modern, beautiful and spacious, the only thing original to this beauty is her engines, stabilizers, the beautiful hatteras wood work, and the large full size upright washer and dryer. Everything else has been updated and renovated. These boats were built to 36v but this vessel has upgraded to 24v. The heads, water pumps, macerators, lights, electronics, all converted to 24volt. The bilge pumps are still 36 volt but have 24volt ready to power the next round of bilge pumps, or anything else the boat may need in the future. Come check out this beautiful modified tank of a vessel in Ft Pierce Florida. The listed specifications include 3 cabins, 3 heads, and 924 hp of total engine power.
