HATTERAS YACHTS GT54

photo of Hatteras Yachts GT54

What do you get when you combine more than 50 years of experience building boats, an unabashed love of big game fishing, and a need to go faster than all the other boats in your range? The Hatteras Yachts GT54 is a sportfish like no other, combining a powerful propulsion system with state-of-the-art hull design and construction. This isn’t just another fishing boat; it’s a rocket-powered, fish-finding, battleship. The mid-50 foot range is crowded with both production and custom fishing boats so Hatteras had to produce something exceptional to stand out from the rest and the GT54 achieved that and more. With a maximum speed of over 40 knots and an astounding ride with the resin-infused hull, the Hatteras GT54 is a billfish tournament angler’s dream.

SPECIFICATIONS

  • Make Hatteras Yachts
  • Model Hatteras Sportfish
  • Length Overall 53' 10
  • Max Draft 4' 2
  • Displacement 75,000 Lbs.
  • Water Capacity 180 Gal.
  • Fuel Capacity 1,200 Gal.

The big difference in a Hatteras sportfish starts with the bottom of the boat. While most manufacturers would fill the entire hull with balsa core, the Hatteras GT54 uses a solid fiberglass bottom. Even though this adds some weight, the hull strength is unmatched which gives owners going offshore a peace of mind knowing that any floating debris would not pierce the hull when going excessive speeds. To account for the extra weight, Hatteras uses a glass-to-resin ratio of 60% which is helps with saving weight, fuel, and increases speed. Owners will also enjoy the shallow draft of 4’2”, perfect for taking your GT54 to the waters of the Bahamas.

The fighting cockpit is the battle-station your inner-angler has always wanted. It is tournament ready at 135 square feet and offers plenty of room around the fighting chair for crew to move side to side. There are two fishboxes easily accessible along with a re-circulating livewell and loads of bait and tackle storage throughout. And for the guests on board wanting to watch the action in a comfortable spot, Hatteras has created an observation mezzanine with nice seating, air-conditioning, and a drink cooler within arm’s reach.

Inside the salon, the Hatteras GT54 seems like a much larger yacht. The L-shaped sofa is located port side in front of the flat screen television and coffee table. This flows nicely into the dining area and open galley that includes an island for serving food. Whether you are watching the game or cooking, everyone is a part of the conversation inside the boat.

For the weary angler who has spent the day fighting marlin and needs to rest, the Hatteras GT54 las a 3-stateroom layout that includes a very comfortable master cabin. The master stateroom has a queen-sized walk-around berth with nightstands on both sides and a lifting platform that moves the mattress up to reveal extra storage beneath. Owners will enjoy their own private head in the master stateroom along with hanging lockers for those longer trips. There is a VIP stateroom forward that also features a queen-sized berth and an additional stateroom with side-by-side twin beds.

Moving a 54-foot fishing machine is no small feat. Hatteras uses the popular Caterpillar C-32A 1600hp diesel engines as an option for the owners that want to go fast. With a top end speed of 41-knots and a cruising speed in the mid-30’s, owners will appreciate the extra push when fishing tournaments and the need to get back to dock arises.

Top 5 Convertible Sportfishing Boats Under $500K

Top 5 Convertible Sportfishing Boats Under $500K

March 4, 2019 1:07 pm

Late model sportfishing boats in high demand.

The demand for 40′ to 50′ convertible sportfishing boats has declined in recent years as the demand for big center consoles and express fishing boats has grown. Indeed, the smaller the convertible size the less popular they are compared with expresses. That said, convertibles have a big advantage over express boats in that they offer the comfort of a larger cabin. No surprise, then, that choosing a convertible can especially attractive in cases where families are involved.

Historically, only a handful of manufacturers produce midsize convertibles and the selection of used models is therefore limited. The boats profiled below are among the most popular late model (2002 or newer) used convertibles priced under $500,000 we found during a recent yachting MLS search. Note that the list is confined to sportfishing convertibles only rather than family-style convertibles that were never intended for serious fishing activities.

OCEAN 50 SUPER SPORT [2004-08]

OCEAN-50-SUPER-SPORT

Overview:  The Ocean 50 Super Sport replaced the super-popular 48 Super Sport (1995–2003), one of the builder’s best-selling models of recent years. The 50 is slightly wider than her predecessor with more transom deadrise for improved rough-water performance without sacrificing speed. Ocean has always had a reputation for good space utilization and the three stateroom, two head interior of the 50 Super Sport delivers a balanced blend of comfort and luxury. An L-shaped sofa and built-in entertainment center dominate the salon that is highlighted by grain-matched teak (or maple) woodwork, vinyl overheads and deep pile carpeting. A flat-panel TV/DVD is found in the master stateroom, a washer/dryer unit is located in the companionway, and the forward guest stateroom is available with a large island berth or an upper-and-lower berth arrangement. For the angler, the Ocean 50 comes standard with a standup livewell, bait prep center, in-deck fish box and transom door. The engine room offers good outboard access to the motors. Considered a fast ride in her day, MTU 825hp diesels cruise the Ocean 50 SS at 28–30 knots (low 30s top).

Price Range:  There are generally several available at under $500K.

VIKING 48 CONVERTIBLE [2002-09]

convertible sportfish yachts

Overview:  Introduced in 2002, the Viking 48 Convertible (note that Viking built an earlier 48-foot convertible during 1985–90) is yet another example of why Viking so dominates the market for premium, executive-class convertibles. It isn’t just beautiful styling that sets her apart from the competition; what makes the Viking 48 special is her redundant engineering, exemplary finish and superior open-water performance. Built on a modified-V hull with a wide 16’6″ beam, the Viking’s wide open interior is big for a 48-footer. The layout is arranged with the galley and dinette forward in the salon with a choice of two or three staterooms below. Both floor plans include two full heads as well as a standard washer/dryer adjacent to the companionway steps. Varnished teak cabinets, rich designer fabrics, and deep pile carpeting are applied throughout the interior. The spacious 130-square-foot cockpit sports a recessed fish box, bait prep station and direct access to the meticulous engine room. Note that the bridge ladder is positioned over the salon steps to save cockpit space. An excellent open-water performer, 1100hp MANs (or 1015hp Cats) will cruise at an honest 30 knots (34–35 top).

Price Range: It’s possible to catch a 2003 or 2004 model priced under $500K.

RIVIERA 47 CONVERTIBLE [2003-09]

Riviera-47-Convertible

Overview:   Riviera’s top selling model for several years, the 47 Convertible splits the difference between fishing and cruising by combining a cockpit big enough for serious anglers and interior accommodations for up to three couples. Like all Riviera models, the 47 rides on a modified-V hull whose solid fiberglass construction includes a watertight collision bulkhead forward and separate compartments throughout the hull. Notably, the 47 is one of just a few convertibles under 50 feet to feature three private staterooms. The galley-up floorplan includes a dinette to starboard as well as leather salon seating, quality galley appliances, and built-in entertainment center. A transom livewell, tackle center, transom door, and fish box are standard in the cockpit. Topside, an L-shaped lounge and table are forward of the helm console. Additional features include overhead rod storage in the salon, Corian galley counters, and truly exceptional range. On the downside, the engine room is a tight fit. Series II models (starting in 2005) have prop pockets and underwater exhausts. Cat 715hp C12 diesel cruise in the mid to high 20s (30+ knots top).

Price Range: Prices for early models are usually under $500K

VIKING 45 CONVERTIBLE [2003-09]

VIKING-45-CONVERTIBLE-[2003-09]

Overview:  A state of the art yacht when she was introduced in 2003, more than a few boating enthusiasts still consider the Viking 45 to be about as good as it gets in a midsize convertible. Expecting good things in a Viking yacht comes naturally these days, and the 45 delivered an impressive mix of luxury and performance. Her spacious two-stateroom interior—updated in 2006 with a serving counter in the galley—features the same satin-finished cabinets and Ultraleather upholstery as Viking’s larger convertibles. The galley and dinette are forward in the salon, and rods stow handily below a posh L-shaped leather sofa. Frameless windows are capped with upholstered valances that conceal the air-conditioning ducts. A laundry center is at the base of the companionway steps, and both heads have separate stall showers. Cockpit amenities include tackle center, bait freezer, in-deck livewell and fish box, and transom door with gate. Additional features include a standard factory hardtop, large engine room with cockpit access, and teak and holly interior flooring. MAN 900hp diesels cruise the Viking 45 Convertible at 28–30 knots (low 30s top).

Price Range: Several are usually on the market for under $500K

CABO 40 FLYBRIDGE [2004 – 08]

CABO-40-FLYBRIDGE

Overview:  In the world of late model sportfishing boats, the Cabo 40 Flybridge ranked at the top of her class a few years ago thanks to world-class engineering, luxury-class amenities and cutting-edge performance. Built on a modified-V hull with prop pockets, the interior of the 40 Flybridge will please anglers who journey to the canyons for a few days of fishing as well as families pursuing an extended vacation. The standard two stateroom layout has the galley down and an L-shaped dinette to starboard in the salon, a surprisingly spacious arrangement expertly finished with Corian counters, quality fabrics and traditional teak woodwork. The Cabo 40’s large cockpit comes equipped with an array of quality fishing features including tackle storage, large-capacity livewell, bait freezer, and two large in-deck fish/storage boxes. On the flybridge the center helm console (with single-lever electronic controls) offers excellent sightlines in all directions. Additional features include near standing headroom in the engine room and a handy storage locker under the galley sole. Cruise at 28–30 knots with 715hp Cat engines; low to mid 30s with 800hp MANs.

Price Range:  Early models can be found priced from the low $400s.

Viking 64 Convertible: A Sportfish Evolved

Viking 64 Convertible Review

"I f you want to strike fear into the biggest fighting marlin or tuna out there in the big blue yonder, you want a Viking . " - Motor Boat & Yachting Magazine.

After the 54 Convertible won 'Best In Show' at the 2020 Fort Lauderdale Boat Show, expectations were extremely high for the new 64 Convertible , which made its debut at the 2021 show. Did it live up to those expectations? Absolutely. More than 550 yachts have been produced by the Viking shipyard in the 60-to-70 foot category since 2001 and the world's greatest sportfish builder shows no signs of letting up. 

"The 64 Convertible is an absolute game changer," says Rich Lucas, Viking Brand Manager for SI Yachts. "Every new model is tweaked to make it better than the last so the 64C is the culmination of owner feedback and hundreds of hours of fishing on board by the Viking team. The hull has been stiffened and slight changes to its shape have been made through the new CFD design software. The result is a 46-knot+ top speed that can better slice through whitecaps faster with far less pounding."

Below: Sportfish Trader takes a peek inside the 64C during the boat show.

"Some of those small refinements we've made are in the hull form, in the chine angle, the chine angle [in relation] to the water, the softness of the radius from the transition of deadrise to the chine," says Viking design manager David Wilson who spent some time explaining the changes from past models. "We've lowered the strakes in the bow slightly to get a better angle of attack for spray upfront. We believe the strakes do more of a job in spray than in the back where they provide lift." All of these changes lend to improvements in draft, planing, speed, and efficiency.

Below: The full interview with David Wilson on the 64C.

Arguably the most important area of the new Viking 64C, and really any tournament-ready sportfish, is the fighting cockpit. With thousands of hours fishing competitively and winning several events, the Viking team has perfected the size, equipment, and features of the cockpit. At 180-square feet, it's clean for easy movement around the angler, has everything a team needs for landing big fish close at hand, and thoughtful mezzanine seating for guests. 

The cockpit on the 64 Convertible has a considerable amount of standard equipment and features in the cockpit including:

  • An abundance of flush-mounted rod holders
  • A centerline lazarette hatch (option to make it power actuated) specifically for a Seakeeper 26
  • Transom fish box with live-well
  • Rounded comings with indirect rope lightning for better stability when fighting a fish
  • side storage lockers for gaff and tag stick
  • Additional live-well options in-deck
  • Quick disconnects for easy service oil changes

Additionally, as you can see below, the cockpit mezzanine is a comfortable area to watch the action complete with air conditioning, ultra-leather, and stereo speakers to set the intensity of the fight.

cockpit on viking 64c

The flybridge is equally as impressive as the cockpit and captain's will be ecstatic at the equipment within reach, the comfort provided by the pedastal chairs, the visibility, and, of course, the precision handling. The center console helm saves space on the bridge and provides plenty of room to walk around. Additional pedastal chairs on both sides of the captain's chair, along with bench seating port and starboard, provide guests with plenty of seating options with a view.

All of the electronics, installed by Viking subsidiary AME, are behind a black acrylic panel that is flush-mounted into the console. The result is a set of all-glass displays that are easy to see, are neatly organized on the console dash, and look futuristic. Other features on the bridge include Bocatech switching, single-lever electronic controls, trim tab switches, and electronic trolling valves. A neatly hidden compartment in the factory hardtop stores the Furuno color scanning sonar controls. The flybridge on the 64 Convertible is truly an owner's and captain's dream.

As tough and rugged as the 64 Convertible is on the outside, the interior living areas are luxurious, spacious, and just as plush as the builder's motor yacht line. The layout of the interior is open, so that everyone enjoying the salon and galley is able to socialize and easily move around the yacht. The horizontal natural walnut throughout the interior looks sharp, whether you choose the hi-gloss or satin finish, you can't go wrong. Seating is abundant and there are two flat screen televisions for that downtime after fishing. The galley is equipped with high-end appliances and enough refrigeration to feed the entire crew during multi-day tournaments.

The four stateroom, three head layout offers plenty of opportunity to rejuvenate after a long day of fishing in the sun. Every stateroom is comfortable and offers plenty of storage for longer vacations. Both the master suite and VIP feature walk-around queen-sized berths, en suite heads, and ample storage. Whether fishing a multi-day tournament or cruising the islands with friends, sleeping comfortably on board the Viking 64C is never an issue.

For more information on the design and construction process of the new Viking 64, please watch this part one video below where Vice President of Design and Engineering Lonni Rutt discusses the methodology of the process.

Part 2 of the series on the construction of the 64C also features Lonni Rutt and delves into the role that structural adhesives play in the overall performance of the boat, the resin transfer molding, and the hull-to-deck joint.
