Exceptional Low-Hour Twin CAT C-18 Powered Performance Vessel Available In Miami
The 2023 Hatteras GT45X represents one of the finest examples of modern express sport fishing design, combining robust engineering with refined luxury appointments. This particular vessel has been meticulously maintained by a dedicated captain, presenting an exceptional opportunity for discerning owners seeking a turnkey fishing platform with minimal operational history.
Powered by twin Caterpillar C-18 inboard engines, each producing 1,135 horsepower, the GT45X delivers commanding performance across open waters. With merely 160 hours logged since launch, these powerplants remain virtually new, backed by manufacturer warranty coverage extending through the coming year with options to extend protection for an additional two to three years. This warranty assurance provides peace of mind rarely encountered in the pre-owned market, reflecting the vessel’s exceptional condition and the seller’s confidence in its mechanical integrity. The cockpit spans an impressive 138 square feet, including a mezzanine seating area appointed with custom cushions and finished in teak. This expansive working platform accommodates serious anglers with six Rupp bolt-less rod holders and provisions for a rocket launcher installation. Two insulated fish boxes with macerator systems, a circulating live well with LED lighting, and a dedicated bait and tackle center with drawer storage complete the fishing-focused design. The teak sole, coaming boards, and covering boards establish a refined aesthetic while maintaining the durability required for active use.
Below decks, the GT45X offers a two-stateroom, one-head layout designed for extended cruising comfort. The master stateroom features a queen-size berth with nightstands, while the salon incorporates L-shaped seating and a wood table with stainless steel base. Four under-counter refrigeration and freezer drawer units provide ample provisions storage, complemented by a two-burner ceramic cooktop and microwave oven. LED lighting throughout the interior, with dimmable functionality in the salon and master stateroom, creates an inviting atmosphere for both entertaining and rest. The helm deck showcases a Palm Beach-style integrated console with single-lever electric controls and a commanding steering wheel. Release Marine Carolina Series captain, starboard, and port companion helm chairs offer ergonomic seating for extended piloting sessions. A teak helm deck table with cover, faux teak helm pod with high gloss finish, and an icemaker in the starboard cabinet round out the command center. Teaser reels mounted in the hardtop enhance the vessel’s fishing capability.
Mechanical systems reflect the quality expected of a captain-maintained vessel. An Onan 17-kilowatt diesel generator provides independent power generation, while dual Seakeeper 5 gyro stabilization systems significantly reduce rolling motion in beam seas. A 600-gallon-per-day watermaker ensures fresh water availability during extended offshore passages. Hydraulic outriggers facilitate trolling operations, and an electric bow thruster with helm keypad and throttle lever controls enhances maneuverability in tight quarters. Climate control is managed through dual air conditioning systems: a 32,000 BTU capacity unit for the helm deck with reverse cycle heating, and an 18,000 BTU system for the interior with similar heating capability. HVAC controls are conveniently located in both the main cabin and forward stateroom. A retractable 50-amp shore cord on the port side of the cockpit, shoreline polarization transformer, and dual AGM 24 heavy-duty marine battery banks mounted in fire-retardant fiberglass boxes ensure reliable electrical infrastructure. An automatic battery charger and paralleling switch at the helm complete the power management system.
The GT45X’s integrated express fiberglass hardtop features a single-pane windshield and aft soft enclosure, providing weather protection while maintaining the open-air connection to the sea. All services have been maintained current, and the vessel’s captain-maintained history speaks to meticulous care and attention to detail.
Located in Miami, Florida, this 2023 Hatteras GT45X represents a rare convergence of low operational hours, comprehensive warranty coverage, and documented maintenance excellence. For those seeking a proven express sport fishing platform ready for immediate deployment, this vessel offers compelling value and peace of mind that extends well beyond the typical pre-owned purchase.
