Based in New Bern, N.C., Hatteras has defined the industry and pioneered the production of large offshore fiberglass powerboats, starting with the introduction of its first model, Knit Wits, in 1959. The builder continues to be a leader in innovation. Today the seasoned technicians build the onboard electrical systems by hand for every boat that leaves their factory. Their commitment to improving performance continually provides owners with the highest quality product. The Hatteras designed multi-blade hybrid propellers offer improved fuel economy, reduced vibration and a quiet ride.
