1976 Hatteras 42 LRC – Proven Long-Range Cruiser | Detroit Diesel Powered
This 1976 Hatteras 42 LRC (Long Range Cruiser) is a true classic from Hatteras’ legendary era of overbuilt, Bluewater-capable yachts. Known for their solid fiberglass hulls, heavy displacement design, and exceptional seaworthiness, these boats were built to go the distance — and they still do.
Powered by dependable Detroit Diesel motors, this vessel ran great the last time out, delivering the reliability and torque these engines are famous for. Engine hours are unknown, but the boat has proven to be a strong, capable runner.
Why the 42 LRC Is So Respected
The Hatteras 42 LRC was designed specifically for efficient long-range cruising. With its full-displacement hull and stable ride, it’s ideal for extended passages and comfortable cruising at trawler speeds.
This is widely considered a perfect boat for the Great Loop — offering:
Economical cruising
Excellent range
Comfortable liveaboard layout
Safe, stable handling
Manageable size for locks and marinas
Interior & Layout
Step inside and you’ll immediately notice the classic Hatteras craftsmanship:
Spacious salon with large windows and abundant natural light
Rich wood cabinetry and timeless yacht finishes
Functional galley with generous storage
Comfortable stateroom accommodations
Ample storage throughout for extended cruising
She presents in overall good condition for her age. She does need some TLC and modern electronics upgrades, which gives the next owner the opportunity to customize navigation and systems to today’s standards while starting with a rock-solid platform.
The Opportunity
Boats like this are about quality and pedigree. Hatteras built these yachts to a standard that is difficult to replicate today. The bones are there — strong hull, proven Detroit Diesels, excellent layout — making this an outstanding candidate for someone looking to own a serious cruising yacht without paying modern yacht prices.
If you’re searching for a classic long-range cruiser with character, capability, and Great Loop potential, this 42 LRC deserves a close look.
Serious inquiries welcome. Boat will need a little some upgrades and your personal touches here and there but overall sound structure and interior.
