Hatteras Announces 64 Motor Yacht New Model Reflects Extensive Customer Input and Intuitive Design NEW BERN, N.C. (Feb. 25, 2003) -- Hatteras is proud to announce plans for a new 64 Motor Yacht that reflects acute attention to customer input and features a fresh accommodation plan and intuitive touches found throughout the vessel. The 64 Motor Yacht incorporates Hatteras’ popular convex hull shape, allowing for more significant interior space forward and providing for a soft ride in rough water. Propeller tunnels afford a 4’8” draft with the heaviest engines available. With the base CAT C-18s, the yacht draws only 4’6” and hits a top speed of approximately 28 knots. Larger engines are available from both CAT and MTU for even faster speeds. The 106-square-foot aft deck features fiberglass seating and a solid-surface table. Convenient for the owner-operator or crew, an integral stairwell provides quick access to the bridge, while gas-assisted cylinders raise the stairwell for easy access to the engine room. The 64 features a full beam 190-square-foot salon and 146-square-foot galley treated with genuine black cherry wood veneers in a satin or high-gloss finish. Comfort abounds in the twin club chairs and custom-designed lounge with accessible storage beneath. The entertainment center features a 37-inch plasma TV mounted forward and to port, making it visible from all parts of the salon. Situated between the twin club chairs is a convenient cabinet with plenty of bottle and glass storage, or an optional pop-up plasma television. Just three steps up from the salon is a spacious galley, dining area and lower helm station. The fully equipped galley features an under-counter Sub-Zero refrigerator and freezer with icemaker, microwave/convection oven, four-burner ceramic cook-top, solid-surface countertops and backsplashes, and Amtico vinyl-strip flooring. Directly across from the galley, a raised U-shape dinette has large storage drawers underneath. The large dining table hinges for easy access while underway. The bridge deck provides 289 square feet of space and is conveniently accessed via the aft deck or galley area. Standards include twin helm seats, an L-shaped lounge with storage underneath, and a dry bar to the starboard side with refrigerator. A modular design approach allows the owner to add additional cabinetry to house an electric grill or additional seating aft of the standard dry bar. Aft, the bridge deck features a 1,100-pound, fully hydraulic, rotational davit that will lift up to a 14-foot dingy. A central stairwell accessible from the galley/pilothouse area leads to the lower foyer and three staterooms, each with a private head. The full-beam master stateroom features a tray ceiling providing 83 inches of headroom. Oval portlights to port and starboard provide an abundance of natural light as well as an emergency escape. Twin nightstands, dressers and wardrobes mirror each side of the king-size berth. Guests will enjoy spacious accommodations in a portside stateroom with side-by-side twins and in the bow stateroom with a queen berth. For those who require a fourth stateroom, a slightly reconfigured master stateroom allows for additional upper/lower berths. In the engine room you will find all the Hatteras Advantage standards, including a painted polyurethane engine room and bilge, macerator for the holding tank, U.L.-approved fiberglass fuel tanks, voltage stabilizer/boost transformer, dripless manganese bronze shaft and rudder seals, power steering, fuel priming pumps, fuel filter, fuel transfer system, pultruded fiberglass rudder shelf with 1-inch stainless-steel rudder tie bar, water manifold block, sealed sumps and sea chest.
