Description
STRESS RELIEF is offered on a lease with an option to purchase, not as an outright sale.
STRESS RELIEF is a classic Hatteras 55 Convertible that has been through a continuous refit program from 2013 through 2026, with a reported $1,050,000 in upgrades. The most recent major work is a full Awlcraft 3000 repaint above the rub rail in September 2025, including the bridge, tower, house and new non-skid.
She offers three staterooms and three full heads, a stackable washer/dryer and a full-size refrigerator. The interior was refitted with custom cherry cabinetry, solid-surface countertops, new headliners, LED lighting and a newly recovered seven-person salon couch with storage.
Power is twin Detroit Diesel 12V71 TAB engines with the larger Johnson & Towers injectors, turning ZF gears. The starboard engine received a complete in-frame rebuild and shows 300 hours since overhaul.
Two 20 kW Northern Lights generators and a Marine Air / Cruisair air conditioning system with ElectroSea treatment keep her comfortable in any climate. Starboard Generator running but not making power and is being looked at.
On deck, a custom aluminum tuna tower carries two custom carbon fiber hardtops finished in two-tone Awlgrip. The helm has dual Garmin 8212 touchscreens, 4 kW open-array radar, CHIRP sounder with ClearVü and SideVü scanning sonar, AIS and autopilot. The 158 sq ft cockpit has a teak sole, livewell, freezer, refrigerator, lower station and a two-tone cover for sun and rain protection.
Port Engine excessive smoke at startup, smoke better when warm but still too much - owners are willing to contribute 50% to in frame rbuild.
