"GENTLE BEN" IS A GREAT EXAMPLE OF THE 80 HATTERAS CPMY THAT'S LIVED A PAMPERED LIFE ON THE CHESAPEAKE BAY WITH TWO LONG TERM OWNERS, THE CURRENT ONE FOR 25 YEARS WITH THE SAME CAPTAIN ABOARD HER FULL TIME! IF SHE NEEDS SOMETHING, SHE GETS IT, EVERYTHING ONBOARD WORKS AS DESIGNED, AS WELL AS THERE IS NO DEFERRED MAINTENANCE. SHE ACTUALLY JUST CAME OUT OF THE YARD IN 05/2025 AFTER HER FRESH BOTTOM JOB, PROP SPEED, POLISH & WAX, ETC. SHE WAS ORIGINALLY BUILT AS A HATTERAS OF FORT LAUDERDALE BOAT THAT OFFERED MANY UPGRADES, UPDATES AND IMPROVEMENTS OVER THE ORIGINAL FACTORY BUILD AS WELL. WITH HER ENGINE REBUILDS IN RECENT 10 YEARS, TOTAL LIFETIME HOURS OF APPROX. 1500 HOURS, AND BOTH HER GENERATORS BEING REPLACED IN RECENT YEARS, SHE IS MORE THAN READY & CAPABLE OF CRUISING WITH CONFIDENCE AS WELL AS COMFORT, ANYWHERE HER NEW OWNERS WOULD LIKE TO TAKE HER!! DO NOT MISS THIS OPPORTUNITY AND COME SEE HER TODAY!! SHE WILL NOT DISAPPOINT!!
"GENTLE BEN" is powered by the reliable Detroit 12V-71Ti's that are fresh water cooled, recently rebuilt, all new hoses, and more!! They need nothing, and are ready to cruise reliably!! There's been many things done in recent years to include new sanitation hoses throughout the boat, new exhaust hoses everywhere all the way to the exits at the stern, and numerous other things. Her new Onan generators are both 21.5KW units in sound enclosures, that have 750 and 550 hours on them. They offer a much quieter & reliable user experience vs the original generators that were troublesome, smokey, & loud! All of her Dometic Cruiseair AC/Heat systems are split units that are all working, recently serviced as well as are regularly serviced to ensure always working at optimum efficiency.
"GENTLE BEN" offers a four stateroom layout, with a full beam master aft, with separate entranceway stairs from the salon on her starboard side. There is a walk-in cedar lined closet, and a spacious head with tub & shower with hard sliding door. Her walk-in engine room is forward of the master, with stand-up headroom and easy to walk around both motors for easy access to everything. Her VIP stateroom is forward to port, with its own ensuite head & shower, there is a third guest stateroom to port with twin bunks, a head with shower across from that to starboard, then a fourth guest stateroom forward with over/under bunks. Each stateroom offers its own climate controls for chosen comfort for all guests as well!
Her salon is very spacious and open with an L-shaped sofa to port, twin barrel chairs with table between to starboard, dining table w/four chairs, a wet bar, and entertainment center forward. The aft deck is enclosed, has a very comfortable sofa, two directors chairs, and a full wet bar with fridge, as well as an icemaker. This area is also climate controlled with central AC/Heat, to keep things comfortable any time of the year! There is also an aft cockpit that is very spacious that allows for easy line handling, and access to the water for watersports, boarding & handling the tender, while also housing a freezer, and additional storage.
"GENTLE BEN" has a unique bridge arrangement that is full beam with an extended aft seating space offering a spacious bridge that can accommodate large numbers of guests versus some of her sisterships. She also has a great island space with bar stools, wet bar, fridge & freezer accommodations, with wrap around U-Shaped seating aft, and more, in a very comfortable space for entertaining! On the aft bridge area, there is a davit, that houses a Boston Whaler 15 Dauntless w/Yamaha outboard for a tender, with a full mooring cover.
"GENTLE BEN" is a very well cared for, lightly used & pampered example of the popular 80 Hatteras CPMY, that has a very good pedigree, knowledgeable ownership history, and documentation that will not disappoint.
