A Huge Master Stateroom and a Spacious Mezzanine

Hatteras is showing its new 68 Convertible that will features the widest beam in its class as well as ground-breaking design and technology throughout the vessel.

The 68 sports a 192-square-foot cockpit that includes a mezzanine deck for superior seating and amenities. The mezzanine houses double-size bait freezer, insulated storage tubs, tackle drawers, insulated drink storage and more. Each step is a lid to insulated refrigerated storage. The mezzanine is designed in modular fashion, which allows each owner to customize the location of various components such as freezer, ice box or optional baitwell.

The boat is first and foremost a very comfortable long-range fishing machine. It has a five hundred mile range at cruise Adan enough storage to go anywhere you want to go. Now this is what you have been waiting for!

Long-Range Fishing Comfort with a Four-Stateroom, Four-Head Layout

There is no similar sportfisherman that compares to the 68 Convertible in terms of volume. It has 21 foot 6 inch beam. And that provides a full beam huge master stateroom the size of an 80 foot motor yacht.  In fact, the beam is wider than Hatteras's 90 convertible.

Below the cockpit deck is a large, open lazarette accessible through the engine room hatch. The compartment provides an excellent location for equipment and gear storage, while an aft isolation bulkhead with door allows easy inspection of steering components. The engine room contains no space-stealing air boxes on the hull sides or air-induction vents on the exterior. That’s because the 68 features a hidden forced ventilation system that draws air from beneath the cockpit coaming.

Hatteras 68 Convertible - Salon

Sliding doors lead to the luxurious salon, which features genuine cherry wood in either a satin or high-gloss polyester finish as standard. A U-shaped, wrap-around lounge provides comfortable viewing of the 42-inch plasma TV, as well as storage below for assembled rods.

In the galley, you’ll find several deep storage drawers and surplus pantry space. Under-counter refrigerators and solid-surface countertops keep the area clean, while a four-burner ceramic cooktop and microwave/convection oven keep it functional. Genuine cherry inserts dress up the appliance fascias. Across from the galley is a large U-shaped dinette with drawers underneath for storage. The area even includes a computer work station for increased productivity on the water.

Hatteras 68 Convertible - Master Stateroom

Crew’s quarters with an upper/lower bunk arrangement lies to port. All compartments feature padded wall coverings and headliners.

Hatteras 68 Convertible - Flybridge Helm

The standard open flybridge arrangement offers wrap-around seating forward of the console along with an 8-cubic-foot deep freezer and insulated chill box. The extended overhang is equipped with two Murray Products helm chairs, though there is room (and a backing plate) for an optional third chair. A rear-facing jump seat provides quick access to the cockpit ladder.

Hatteras’ generous electronics allowance will easily outfit the power-actuated electronics console, while the pod-style helm station includes single-lever controls with emergency backup controls standard.

An optional enclosed flybridge arrangement with one-piece rounded windshield is also available.

The 68 Convertible is built on a solid fiberglass hull bottom backed by a five-year warranty.

With its convex hull shape, deep propeller tunnels, large props and deep reduction gears, the 68 will deliver a shallow draft and competitive performance.
