Rarely does a large stabilized Hatteras LRC come on the market. 1 of only 13 built, this 65 is a nice example of a long range cruiser with the pedigree of a Hatteras and the ability to cruise long distance while sipping fuel with the Detroit 6-71 Naturals delivering 225 hp while cruising at 7.5-8 knots with a range of 2300 nautical miles.
A heavily built cruiser it takes comfort and security to a new level. The spacious four stateroom interior features a fully enclosed pilothouse, extravagant owner’s suite with private salon access, and a full-beam walk-in engine room. The Portuguese bridge protects against any oncoming seas. The enclosed aft deck overlooks a small cockpit perfect for lounging in the sun, fishing, or line handling.
This 65 LRC was taken on its own bottom to Europe over 25 years ago where the prior owner enjoyed her for many years. The current owners bought the boat in France and had her shipped to the USA. A testament to the reputation of a Hatteras 65 LRC.
Onboard are all manuals, schematics, and ship drawings from Hatteras Yachts when built.
