78' Hatteras Motoryacht 1987
"CHRISTIE LEE" started life as a mint condition 68' Hatteras CKPMY and an experienced owner who could not find a Hatteras with the ideal layout purchased her and decided to rebuild her with no regard to cost. A major $900,000 year long refit engineered and designed by Naval Architect Langlois & Nadeau, Inc., was completed in November 1992 at Associated Marine Technologies in Dania, FL -- (Now Marinemax Hatteras).
This complex refit enhanced the original layout significantly to modern Hatteras standards by greatly enlarging the master stateroom and adding a his and her heads aft with center Jacuzzi tub and a very large walk in closet to port. The original guest cabin amidships has been altered to a true VIP suite. The forward crew section was expanded to accommodate two more staterooms with privacy door. The engine room was modified to a full width, walk through engine room like todays Hatteras. The original cockpit was incorporated into the master configuration and became the large open aft deck with an extended hard top with stairway to the flybridge from the aft deck with railing and a custom entry way into the flybridge seating area. A new cockpit was added, the rudders enlarged with new stainless ones, Naiad stabilizers added and the entire yacht was painted in Imron.
The flybridge was extended providing ample room for tenders and water toys. The cost of this year long refit was over $900,000. Millions have been spent on her since and the current owner has her in excellent condition.
In November 2014 the engines were totally majored with over $150,000 spent on mechanical and interior work in the past year 2014-2015. Many interior updates Summer 2015. Complete bottom job fall 2018 and all new Silent Flush toilets 2018.

+ Accommodations
This Custom 78' Hatteras sleeps 10 in 5 staterooms!!!
The extended custom master with his/hers heads and Jacuzzi is aft. The
VIP has queen berth is amidships and can be accessed by the walk through
engine room or from forward. The third stateroom is up and to
starboard, the fourth is up to port (crew) and the fifth is upper lower
twins forward. This is a one of a kind totally custom interior created
by AMT (Marinemax Hatteras Dania) when the yacht was only 4 years old in
1991 to create what is now today a "standard desired layout" on newer
Hatteras with the exception that the Master on this 78 Hatteras is the
largest in her class with His and Hers/Jacuzzi, and huge walk in closet
with separate stairs to the salon and walk through engine room. Over $1
Million has been spent over the past 10 years keeping this one of a kind
78 Hatteras above the rest and her initial redesign cost over $900,000
in 1991-1992. This expansive fifth stateroom layout also is enhanced by
an extra large aft deck with molded stairs to the huge Flybridge, aft
deck controls, and a functional full fishing cockpit with hot and cold
shower, built in tackle storage, and extended fuel tankage.
+ Salon
The very large salon features a cream colored L-Shaped Natuzzi leather
couch with large cherry wood coffee table to port side upon entering
from the aft deck. To starboard is a small built in wet bar sink with
marble top. Moving forward is a cutom stairway leading to the master
stateroom and engine room. Forward of that on the starboard is the large
entertainment center which holds a pioneer CLD 1030 CD video system,
YAMAHA K420 cassette player and Adcom CFS six speaker selector for the
surround sound. A custom cabinet provides storage and holds a pioneer CD
player, Yamaha receiver, a 52" Element TV and a RCA direct TV satellite
system with a modulator to all televisions. To port is a very large
dining area that seats up to 8 at a beautiful cherry dining table. To
port aft of the dining are two barrel chairs with side table. The recent
2015 interior refit included headliner and overhead lights throughout
vessel, new marble flooring in the galley, helm area, and on the wet bar
sink. and new carpet and runners throughout.
+ Galley
The galley is fully equipped with Frigidare Elite side-by-side
refrigerator with freezer ice maker, WP appliances 2012, coffee maker,
can opener and a Black and Decker toaster oven. The cabinetry in the
galley is in white mica and the flooring in the galley, settee area and
wheelhouse is laid with South African granite. Starboard and across from
the galley is the dining area that has a comfortable six person settee
surrounded by mirrors.
+ Aft Deck
Large 8' custom aft deck provides full fiberglass staircase to the
flybridge which has hand rails and a large sliding hatch. On the
flybridge there are handrails on the starboard side for safety when
transiting the flybridge fore and aft. An opening door into the
flybridge seating area makes this the preferred way to go to the
flybridge when cruising, avoiding the steeper pilothouse steps. This is
great for guests or kids that move from the cockpit and swim platform to
the flybridge in bathing suits or just as easier flybridge access in
general. There is a large teak table and teak chairs on the aft deck.
Cockpit controls with thruster control make docking or light fishing
much easier. The aft deck has hard sides and side windows to protect the
aft deck from sea and spray. Second new boarding ladder added for
direct aft deck boarding.
+ Pilothouse
Large pilothouse windows provide excellent visibility. These windows were removed and re-bedded during the 2002 paint job.
+ Master Stateroom and En-Suite Head
Accessed from private stairs from the starboard side salon this is the
largest master stateroom available on any standard Hatteras under 100'.
Centerline king berth against the aft bulk head. En-Suite his and her
heads with a shared Jacuzzi between. Forward and to port is a huge 5' x
7' cedar lined walk in closet complete with a refrigerator and safe. To
starboard is another closet, a mirrored vanity, an entertainment center
complete with a VHS, stereo tuner, a 42" TV, and cabinets with granite
surfaces.
+ VIP Stateroom and En-Suite Head
The VIP stateroom has a large queen berth with storage beneath making it
a true VIP stateroom. En-Suite access to head and separate stall
shower. Cedar lined hanging locker. The headboard is mirrored with
overhead storage and reading lights.
+ Guest Stateroom Two and En-Suite Head
The second guest stateroom is forward to port accessed which is 5 steps
down from the pilothouse or two steps up from the mid VIP guest and one
queen with storage upper bed with drawer storage and a small En-Suite
head with combo stand up shower.
+ Guest Stateroom Three and En-Suite Head
This third guest stateroom is in the port deck access. It has one queen
bed with storage under to starboard with drawers and 32" TV. There is a
full hanging locker and En-Suite head with full shower. Either of these
two forward guest staterooms can be used for crew but this has more
floor space and the larger head and therefore makes a better 3rd
stateroom.
+ Office/Study
The forward guest and crew area was expanded to accommodate a lounge
office with library and additional privacy door which can divide the
library and bow stateroom from the port and VIP stateroom, creating a
small foyer at the base of the pilothouse steps when all doors are
closed. This is ideal for large families or charter guests that want
privacy from the crew.
