\\\"Apex\\\" is a sought-after Hatteras 53 Sportfish with a TOTAL Custom 2014 refit. She has all the modern luxuries with the vintage toughness of a 1978 Hatteras!
\\\"Apex\\\" has been restored and refitted from the keel up to the Marlin tower. She's a 3 stateroom, galley up design, with granite counter tops throughout and hand scraped hickory cabin sole. Upon entering her cabin, you are swept away by modern luxury.
This boat won't stay on the market long! Call me to see her! She's the perfect boat for someone who loves the traditional lines and seaworthy hull of a Hatteras but wants all the upgrades and luxuries of a modern boat!
The interior of this boat is pure luxury! Upon entering, you see the galley, with brand new granite countertops, stainless appliances, and new cabinetry on the starboard side. To port is a leather sofa, and the cabin sole has been redone with modern scraped hickory. A state-of-the art Bluetooth sound system and a 40\\\" Smart TV complete the salon.
Continuing down, the cabin area is divided into three cabins and 2 heads, which have also been redone with modern luxury. 6 can comfortable sleep aboard this boat, and the owner's suite features its on private head.
\\\"Apex\\\" is a fishing machine and a luxury cruiser in one!
The twin Detroit Diesel 12V-71 TI engines were completely rebuilt (including new sleeves and pistons) in 2014, and run beautifully.
The marlin tower features steering controls for high-visibility when fishing, and the bridge is spacious and just as much a place to lounge as it is a place to navigate.
The traditional rails were removed from the deck, and refitted low profile ones were added at the bow, for a sleeker, more modern look.
Unlike many similar boats, the Hatteras is sold fiberglass construction, making it practically bulletproof!
The hull has been repainted to a beautiful powder blue.
This is a great value--don't be afraid of the boat's age. EVERYTHING has been refitted and upgraded, and a comparable modern boat would have inferior fiberglass construction and cost you five times as much as this one will.
Come see her now!
New on the market. This very lightly used Intrepid.
This 1005 Intrepid Walkaround was re-powered in 2006 with twin Yamaha 300 HPDI's and has only 360hours on them. This boat was mainly used for taking the owner for sunset cruises and to dockside restaurants around Miami. It has had very light non abusive use. The seating area in front of the center console makes this an excellent family boat while still leaving plenty of room for fishing in the cockpit. The boat has two 6 foot fish boxes and a 35 gallon livewell. The enclosed head also features a shower, and the cabin comes with v-berths as well as a mini-galley and overhead rod storage. This boat is in excellent condition.
New listing, more info to come.
Lightly used and extremely well cared for by her current owner, 2006 Yamaha 300hp HPDI's with only 330 hours. This boat has a wonderful layout that seats several guests, ideal for fishing or cruising, with this proven offshore design.
