What do most boaters expect from a mid-size convertible? It s simple really: good performance and comfortable accommodations in a boat that s small enough to operate without a full-time crew. The Hatteras 50 Convertible provides just that, plus a whole lot more. Thanks to recent design enhancements, the 50 Convertible competes with any builder on the performance front with a 36-knot cruise and 40-knot top end. And unlike the "go fast" boats that emphasize speed at the price of hull strength, the solidly built Hatteras 50 will keep you at the front of the pack right into the teeth of a steep head sea.
