1979 Hatteras 53 Yacht Fisherman

Mandeville, Louisiana, United States

$79,000

This 1979 Hatteras 53 Yacht Fish presents a unique opportunity for a savvy shopper looking forward to restoring this classic yacht at an irresistible price point. "Time Out" looks forward to her next chapters in capable hands!

Time Out underwent an extensive 8-year refit which included an entire awlgrip paint job, window replacement, electrical upgrades, and hydraulic steering system replacement.

After the boat sold ($135,000 in January 2017), the boat did not receive the same level of care for the next 8 years, leading to a unique market position for the right buyer to come in and bring the boat back up to her former glory.
