THOUSANDS IN UPGRADES!

BOAT HAS UNDERGONE RECENT WORK AT JARRETT BAY BOAT YARD AND IS IN TURN KEY CONDITION

NEW SALON WINDOWS

FRESH TEAK DECK

Bandit's current owner has documented the history of this classic from date of manufacture in 1965 through past owners up to current status. This is hull #004 for the Hatteras 34 Convertible model. I have yet to find any evidence that hulls #001-003 are still in operation or existence.

Improvements were made along with conversion to twin Cummins circa 2009. Hard top and flying bridge enclosure added. All new navigation, radar and electronics. Salon couches, aluminum fuel tanks, salon floor raised and replaced to accommodate new Cummins diesels. Imron hull done. All new thru-hulls and wiring. All new water heater, fire suppression, fresh water accumulator and pump, 6KW genset, reversible 12K BTU HVAC, custom v-berth mattresses, primary and spare chain/rode lines, Nibral primary and spare props and TwinDisc marine gears.
