## About this yacht

Great Karma is a classic 63-foot Hatteras motor yacht, built in 1987 and offered for extended cruising, entertaining or living aboard. Her appeal is the space: a large main salon, a full galley with dining areas, multiple staterooms and heads, and generous outdoor deck space, all on a hull known for a steady, comfortable ride.

She is powered by twin 650-horsepower Detroit Diesel 12V71 engines, the classic workhorse diesel of this era. She is a displacement-style fiberglass yacht with a 17-knot top speed and a 14-knot cruise, which is exactly the pace these boats were designed to hold for a long day on the water. She is located in Southport, North Carolina.

## Why a Hatteras like this

The 63 comes from the era when Hatteras built its reputation on solid construction and livable interiors. Boats from this period are sought after by buyers who want real volume and sea-keeping without the complexity of a modern production yacht.
