About This Vessel

This 2008 Hatteras 54 Convertible, measures 54 ft, and is located in Pensacola, Florida, powered by 2x CAT C32 1550.00HP.

“American Made” a Hatteras 54 Convertible — a boat that spent her first decade in fresh water on Lake Michigan, run May through October and stored in a private indoor heated building each winter, showing just 625 original hours when she came south in 2018. Fish-rigged in Orange Beach with Pipe Welders triple-spreader outriggers, Release Marine fighting chair, custom transom livewell, Eskimo chipper and all the modern tournament amenities, she has now completed a documented, invoiced 2026 upgrades under her current owner covering steering, running gear, seacocks, full bottom, generator, charging and navigation electronics — with the Caterpillar dealer’s 3,000-hour service and aftercooler update already behind her ideal CAT C32 1550hp package. “American Made” also has the desired underwater exhaust, forced air induction from the cockpit (no hull side vents), and factory mezzanine seating with ample storage in the cockpit. She enters the market as the newest, lowest-hour classic-platform 54 Convertible offered in the United States, with a current survey and every upgrade invoice in the file. Call the listing broker to set up an appointment to view her, make an offer, or for any additional information.* PRELIMINARY LISTING- MORE PHOTOS COMING SOON* It is offered as a convenience by this broker/dealer to its clients and is
