1993 Hatteras 3 stateroom
The Hatteras 52 aft-cockpit motor yacht is known for its smart layout with three cabins, three heads, plenty of family space inside & out as well as having a decent sized aft cockpit at water level for water sports, easy boarding and provisioning. Validated improvements, upgrades and a fantastic price make this example a great boat and a great buy.
SEA SMOKE shows incredibly and it should with $175,000 of Upgrades & Improvements over the last 5 years. Mechanical systems, engines, generators all fully serviced and professionally maintained. Updates include 3 newer windshield windows, enclosures, soft goods, engine controls, and bottom stripped and barrier coated in 2014.
Sea Smoke is priced so well because there were some issues found in a recent survey (May 2019) including areas of saturation in the closed-cell core in the topsides, which was found to be bonded and structurally sound but should be remediated if the boat is to stay in a region where freezing temps could possibly cause delamination. The owner is looking for an as-is deal and the boat is priced accordingly. More information available upon request.

Superstructure and Hull:
Bottom:
In the summer of 2014, the entire bottom was stripped and faired as necessary and then barrier coated and finally bottom painted. This was to strip layers of old, flakey bottom paint, not for blisters or damage. All running gear was thoroughly inspected and addressed as needed.
A marine surveyor inspected the topsides of the hull in May 2019. A moisture meter inspection of the topsides revealed elevated moisture found in areas of the hull along the length of the hull at the bottom of the cored area which starts about a foot above the waterline. The hull is solid glass below this point with no structural issues found.
The marina service staff cut a modest hole into the inner part of the hull in the engine compartment to further inspect the elevated moisture. According to the service manager, water immediately started draining from the cut opening made within the engine compartment. This indicates that the closed-cell foam core is "saturated" with water in this area. Fortunately, the core was reported to still be bonded to the fiberglass in this inspection area.
The following is mostly speculation coming from discussions with the surveyor, service manager, and indirectly from other marine service technicians. The hull does not have a structural weakness where the foam core is still bonded to the fiberglass. However, there is risk that the bond between core and glass could fail in the future from freeze & thaw cycles in the areas that remain saturated. The surveyor's opinion is that the moisture has been in the hull for a long time and likely entered from the many cutouts & fittings located near the top of the hull which likely had not had their waterproof barriers properly maintained. The moisture migrated downward over time by gravity. Since the core material is closed cell foam, the mechanism by which the water has moved downward is unknown. One theory is that freeze cycles have caused the wet foam core itself to crack, creating micro-channels for the water to migrate downward by gravity.
Since the core appears to still be bonded, the most practical remediation method would be to drill a series of holes along the bottom of the core material to drain as much water as possible by gravity and/or vacuum. It is usually preferable to drill these holes on the inside of the hull. If so, a significant portion of the work and cost involved would be by gaining access where needed in the interior by cutting out and removing interior joinery and then reassembling after the drain process is completed. A less expensive option could be to drain the hull from the outside, then fill and refinish the drain holes. While final finish work could be needed, this method could still be far less costly than draining from the interior. It would also be prudent to inspect and re-bed all openings & fittings in the hull as necessary to prevent further ingress of water. The cost to perform this work depends on the method selected and what is found as the work proceeds. Nobody can offer a firm quote, but I've heard loose estimates from a low of $10,000 up to $35,000 to have a professional marine service company do the work.
The boat is seaworthy as-is and may be launched and enjoyed immediately, however it would probably be a good idea to plan on remediating the saturated core condition if the boat is to remain in a region where freezing temps could cause damage. The goal of draining the water is to reduce the saturated condition to reduce the chances of delamination from freeze & thaw cycles, however, the areas will continue to show elevated moisture during future inspections which may not be a structural issue could still have an effect on the vessel's value.
This boat is priced very well for an as-is sale to a buyer who understands the issue and willing to take it on. Somebody with a basic knowledge of composites and is handy could possibly address the issue themselves for a fraction of the cost of professional marine service.
