The New Hatteras GT60 to Debut at the 2010 Ft. Lauderdale International Boat Show The new GT60 is the first installment in the Hatteras GT Series, an exciting family of tournament class convertibles designed for serious anglers. It comes to market with best-in-class performance, unforgettable styling, and a construction pedigree that has made Hatteras Yachts the gold standard for more than 50 years. Scheduled to debut this fall at the Ft. Lauderdale International Boat Show, the new Hatteras GT60 is the culmination 50 years of leadership in convertible design and propulsion development, combined with the latest technological advances in materials and methods utilized in fiberglass construction. “The Hatteras GT60 and the entire GT Series represents our best efforts to date to provide the finest products possible to the greatest customers in the world. These boats are faster, stronger, and more luxurious than ever,” states Jim Meyer, president of Hatteras Yachts. The new Hatteras GT60 takes its exterior design cues from the current 60, but a newly redesigned cockpit and a touch of panache added to the overall design give this 60 a unique style of her own. The interior accommodations found in the GT60 are not only more open, but are designed with a level of sophistication not often found in a convertible. Larger window framing allows for better views, and beautifully combined wall coverings and exotic woods create a more open layout while continuing to provide a warm and luxurious environment. But what is most noticeable about the GT60 is its performance. When Hatteras first launched the current 60 Convertible it offered an optional “GT Tournament Edition” package. This upgrade included larger engines and additional weight savings to create a 40-knot boat that took the industry by storm. With its rugged, lightweight build combined with an aggressive propulsion design, the new Hatteras GT60 is designed for every boat perform to at an elevated level, providing increased efficiency whether cruising or tournament fishing. Combine its performance and style with pricing that makes it competitive with other convertibles in the high-50’s range, and you’ll see why this Hatteras will take the boat everyone will be chasing this fall.
