Three Stateroom Three Head Layout

This 1978 Hatteras 53 Yacht Fisherman “dharma” is a fine example of a true CLASSIC by the legendary naval architect Jack Hargrave. This boat has very BEAUTIFUL lines and she is recognizable from every angle to be a CLASSIC MOTOR YACHT. She has not been modernized, modified or extendedby any of the previous owners and in pretty much the original form that she was created. This boat has never been chartered or used as a live aboard. Within the last year “dharma” has had lots of TLCS to the appearance. Both engines and transmissions were serviced in March 2022. Heat exchanger service, cooling system flush and all new thermostats were installed in December 2021.  8 New Batteries, cables & terminals were installed in March 2022 to name a few. All new soft goods were added for the interior and the boat is very clean and shows well. Most likely “dharma” is as original as one can find a true classic Hatteras 53 Yacht Fisherman with the exception of updated galley appliances. The current owner has kept that in mind while updating the boat to preserve its classic feel throughout the boat. All repairs, maintenance, updates have been documented with receipts in a logbook. Original Owner’s Manual from Hatteras is on board. Yet, as with any boat of this age there are many areas that the new owners may want to improve to preserve her classic original appeal. “dharma” is a three stateroom three head motor yacht that offers a forward stateroom with over and under berths that has a separate head with a stall shower. Master stateroom has a queen size bed and the guest stateroom has a full-size bed.  

Broker’s Comments 

Overall, the boat is in good condition.  The generator needs to be repaired or replaced. The cost of the generator replacement has been considered and the seller has reduced the original asking price by 30,000 to accommodate the new buyer for a New Generator.
