From the Power Boat Guide
PowerBoat GuideIt's interesting to note that the Hatteras 48 MY was built on a "dual mode" semi-displacement hull - designed for efficient low-speed operation while retaining planning-speed abilities with larger engines (Fuel-efficiency was a serious marketing tool in the early 1980's) Showing a slightly trawler-style profile, the 48 MY was heavily built on a solid fiberglass hull with shallow deadrise aft and a long keel for stability. Her standard three-stateroom interior is arranged with two-staterooms aft of the salon, three heads, (but only on stall shower). Outside, the spacious aft deck is the largest found in a boat this size - the dimensions exceed those of the salon. The 425-hp 6V92s will cruise around 16 knots and reach 18-19 knots wide open.
