• Brokers Remarks
  
  This classic Hatteras 53 motoryacht is a collector's dream that has been lovingly restored sparing no expense. Since May 2000, over $350,000 in documented custom upgrades have been applied. All boat systems have been upgraded to current standards. All boat wiring has been replaced. All interior and exterior teak surfaces have been beautifully finished to a high gloss shine. The boat is in pristine condition throughout. To purchase a new boat built to these standards would require an investment of $1 million. This boat needs no work whatsoever. The lucky buyer will be able to turn the key and go. The present owners have used the vessel as a summer vacation retreat and cruised throughout Long Island sound for the past 5 years and are now relocating to the Midwest and cannot take the boat with them. All Hatteras operations manuals & schematics as well as complete shop manuals are included. Additionally, all receipts and a full excel workbook detailing (chronologically) renovations and improvements made will be provided.
