Featured Boat 61' Hatteras Custom 61 - Former 53 1970 US$ 385,000 ONE OF A KIND!! CUSTOM HULL EXTENSION, NEW ENGINES, NEW GENERATOR, NEW WINDOWS, NEW INTERIOR, MASTER QUEEN BERTH, PAINT, NO BLISTERS, TURN KEY Athena is a very special Hatteras. She has been lovingly cared for by her extremely knowledgeable owners for 20 years and has been upgraded consistently since her owner purchased her. Don't let her age fool you. She looks and runs like a much newer yacht. Athena is built exceptionally well, and has an all teak interior which is no longer available. Among her most notable upgrades is her custom cockpit designed and installed by Philbrooks Boat Yard in Sydney, BC. This cockpit was an actual hull extension which also included a custom built spiral staircase leading to the aft deck as well as 300 gallons of additional fuel tankage, and a brilliantly designed port side door in addition to an aft starboard door which makes for very simple boarding . Her main engines were replaced in 1999 with twin 485 HP Detriot 6-71's, have only 300 hours, and have just been completely serviced (July '08). A new Northern Lights Generator was also installed along with all new windows, corion counter tops, hydronic diesel heat, new carpet (Just cleaned),new davit and tender, Viking Life Raft and the list goes on and on. She was hauled in June '08, bottom inspected (ZERO BLISTERS), bottom painted, and new zincs. If you have been considering a classic well built yacht but did not want to go through the expensive and lengthy refit process, the Athena is worth your consideration.
