1983 Hatteras 53 Motor Yacht

1983 Hatteras 53 Motor Yacht, Laurentide was built as a Classic Motoryacht version of the Hatteras 53 hull, which was also available in the Extended Deck and Yachtfish versions. The Classic Motoryacht version provides a significant advantage in a wide covered walk around deck that allows easy and secure access to docklines and cleats when docking. In addition, Laurentide has a rare factory hard enclosure on the large aft deck, which allows this spacious area to be used in much the same way as a four seasons room, extending the boating season with a comfortable environment in cold, wet, or other inhospitable conditions.As a 1983 model, the vessel incorporates nearly all of the refinements that Hatteras developed for the venerable 53 throughout her long production span. These include the sought after walk around queen berth in the master stateroom, stall showers in each head, larger fuel tank capacities, a redesigned more modern flybridge, and the larger more powerful turbocharged and inter-cooled engines to produce a better cruising speed. Laurentide was well maintained by her previous owner, and wa continuously upgraded. Maintenance records for all work performed since the vessel was acquired by her previous owner are available for inspection. Her records include the original owners manual from Hatteras, as well as her original factory wiring diagrams. In addition, she has aboard nearly all of the original manufacturers manuals for installed equipment, which is invaluable in understanding system operation, ordering spare parts, or obtaining service. Please see appendix one for a detailed list of major items repaired or replaced by the previous owner.
