    Best Engine room Access

    Hi Everyone. Was hoping someone could give me some information on which MY will have best access and room to move around once in and easy access to engines, generator and so on. We have been looking at 1980's Hatteras 43,48,53 Aft cabin along with Viking 44 Aft Cab and the Californian 42, 45, and 48. Thanks!

    Hatteras 53 MY is the best on the list. 44 Viking MY is by far - the worst.

    I can not tell you the best, the 44 Viking is likely one of the worst.

    Bigger Hatteras yachts will have stand-up engine rooms (2) which are very good to work in. The smaller Hatteras yachts are still pretty good, but the 50/53 and up are the best.

    The engine rooms in the Hatt motoryachts 53' and larger are very nice. They are full stand-up headroom and you can walk-around the engines, great design. All the others you've mentioned are varying flavors of you'll be on your hands and knees whenever you go in there.

    Of your list, I can say the Californian 42 has centerline hinge-up stairs in the galley, from which you crawl on hands and knees into the engine space which is about 3-4' tall.

    I love the room in the 53’. However the 70’ has a single engine room that is fabulous.
