More about this yacht
Hull and Construction
Working on a Dream is built on Hatteras's proven one-piece molded fiberglass planing hull, constructed in four integral sections — hull, superstructure, aft cockpit deck, and flybridge — each bonded and mechanically fastened into a single structural unit. The deck and superstructure utilize cored fiberglass laminate sandwich construction, delivering maximum rigidity at minimum weight. Four molded fiberglass longitudinal stringers filled with rigid polyurethane foam are fiberglass-bonded to the hull, and transverse wooden bulkheads are bonded in place during the molding process. The hull-to-deck joint is both bonded and bolted. All sea cocks are bronze ball valves. Framing is fiberglass with fiberglass bulkheads throughout.
Engines and Mechanical
Engines:
Working on a Dream is powered by twin Detroit Diesel 8V71TI engines producing 450 horsepower each, fully rebuilt in 2006— Proven and celebrated power-plants for their time fitted to a classic American sportfisherman. Each engine is paired with an Allison M15 marine transmission at 1.5:1 reduction ratio, fresh water cooled, with 51-amp alternators. Twin 2" stainless steel propeller shafts drive 26" x 26" four-blade bronze propellers by Michigan Wheel. The fuel system comprises three fiberglass tanks with a total capacity of 650 gallons, copper fuel supply lines and vents, Type A-2 deck fills, and a triple Racor filter setup — dual Racor 1000FG and one Racor 500FG. Engine controls are push/pull cable with a Glendenning engine synchronizer for smooth single-lever operation.
Generator:
Onboard AC power is provided by an Onan 15.0 kW generator (Model OMDMF/3CR/2268AA, Serial No. L780381681), operating at 1,800 RPM and sized to handle all electrical equipment loads with ease.
