“dharma” is a 1978 Hatteras 53 Yacht Fisherman with a functional original factory cockpit. “dharma” is hull number 318 of one of the most sought after 53 Motor Yacht models by Hatteras Yachts. One noted fact about this boat is she is very much in its original condition and not drastically altered, modified, or modernized by any of the previous owners. The current knowledgeable owner has kept that in mind but enjoyed the boat for local use in Florida with his family and friends. All Detroit Diesel engine services are done by an experienced Detroit Diesel mechanic who has 35 plus years of Detroit Diesel experience. Engine Oil and Filter change was just completed in February 2024. Maintenance and repair records, all new parts installations, etc. etc. for the past three years are documented and available upon request by potential buyers. An Insurance Survey report (September 2023) is also available.
August 2023 the boat was hauled out for running gear repairs to replace cutlas bearings, rudder shaft seals and bearings, replace all zincs and apply Petit Prop Coat on running gear. Mechanically, engines are in good running condition and the hour meter readings for Port 790 and Starboard 797. At some point in the past, engines were overhauled but the current seller does not have any records. The original Onan 15 Kw generator is not working.
For Classic Yacht Enthusiast the boat is ideal for a restoration project. Also, the desirable 3-stateroom/3-head layout is ideal for anyone looking for a Home Away from Home to get away from the cold in the winter months. The current knowledgeable Hatteras owner has enjoyed her with his family and now ready to part with her.

About Oaksmith Yachts
We know what it feels like to need to know what's past that next hill. To stare across an ocean and want to see what's out there. To wonder what's in that bay or on that island past that next point. To only have a day or a week to explore what should take months. We know what it's like to not be able to afford to let the weather stop you. We know what it feels like and we have a solution.
