1978 Hatteras Long Range Cruiser

SELLER DESCRIPTION

IF THERE WAS EVER SUCH A THING AS A SEA WORTHY CONDO THIS IS IT!! Here is the quality and structural integrity of Hatteras with proven blue water ability (This vessel has made the offshore trip between North Carolina and the Bahamas several times). Combine that with the space and luxury of a two bedroom waterfront condo and the possibilities are endless. In addition, you have the control to change the water front view daily, weekly, monthly or when ever you choose. One of the best parts of this concept is the PRICE. This CRUISING CONDO has two bedrooms, two full baths each with walk-in showers, large living room (main salon), a covered sun deck large enough for several deck chairs, and a fully enclosed upper deck (otherwise called a flybridge)with a 360 degree water view! Try to find a waterfront condo with that kind of space and that many features for only $150,000.The owner just had a new deck paint job done (all Hatteras Yachts are painted, no gel coat) and it looks beautiful. In addition all exterior teak has been revarnished, stainless steel has been polished and the sliding doors for access to the main salon have been refinished. This is the most spacious and comfortable trawler you will find in this size range and this one is ready for pleasure.The interior of the vessel shows very well with teak parkay floors and lots of living space. She has also has just had her engine room detailed, new bottom paint (6/07), new hot water heater and all systems checked. This vessel is ready for you to enjoy the cruising season. The Hatteras 42 Long Range Cruiser was designed to provide spacious comfort to her occupants with the ability to cruise for extended periods without finding a fuel pump. The latest version of the Power Boat Guide says you can cruise this vessel at eight knots at only six gallons per hour. That is a very economical way to move your two bedroom condo from one water front location to the next.On this vessel both the master stateroom as well as the guest stateroom have their own head AND walk-in shower. In addition, both staterooms have walk-in size closets. There are three separate reverse cycle heat/air units that can run off the 8.5 KW generator in addition to the Sub Zero refrigerator and freezer (separate units).Hatteras designed this displacement hull with rounded bilges forward that gradually harden to form a shallow "V" at the transom. While all trawlers will roll in a beam sea, the true displacement-hull design of the 42' LRC produces an easier, more comfortable motion than most of the recent trawler style boats with harder chines. In addition, this vessel has stabilizers.If you have ever imagined having a water front condo in North Carolina AND Florida AND Virginia AND Louisiana AND the Bahamas all for ONLY $150,000, THIS IS YOUR CHANCE!! When you finish all those areas take your blue water capable cruising condo up the Mississippi and through the Great Lakes and beyond. With t

Accomodations:
The masters cabin is in the aft of the vessel. It has single beds on port and starboard. In between the beds at the stern is a built-in dresser. On the starboard side just forward of the bed is a full marine head with plenty of sink and counter space along with a walk-in shower. On the port side forward of the bed is a hanging storage closet larger than you find in some houses. From the masters cabin you go up four steps to the main salon/galley. This puts the galley up where there is lots of light and visibility and the cook can participate in the family conversations. The galley is on the port side with a microwave, three burner stove, oven, Sub Zero refrigerator, stainless steel sink and a Sub Zero freezer with ice maker. The main salon is on the starboard side with an "L" shaped couch and table. Forward of that is the lower steering station. Just to the left of the steering station are three stairs leading down to the forward stateroom. As you go down these stairs, the electrical panels are on your left side. The forward stateroom has beds on port and starboard with a full marine head just to the aft on starboard. The head includes another walk-in shower. There is abundant storage and and hanging space available. When you exit either if the sliding doors on the port or starboard sides of the main salon there is a side deck wide enough to be easy to use that leads fore and aft. A few steps toward the aft and up two steps you access the aft deck that is above the masters cabin. This deck has a full bimini and space for several deck chairs. From the forward edge of this deck are steps leading to the flybridge and the upper steering station. The flybridge has a bimini and full enclosures.
