The GT70 from Hatteras Yachts leads the way into the next century for the popular builder, based in New Bern, North Carolina. With her twin MTU 16V 2000 Series engines, she’s capable of holding her own with any boat on the water thanks to the renowned Hatteras seakeeping. A sumptuous interior and tournament-pedigreed cockpit and helm deck round out a very attractive and competitive package.
