M/Y Black Powder
A 1976 Hatteras 49-footer refreshed in 2016 and ready to run.
"Black Powder" is a 1976 Hatteras 49' trawler offered for sale at $299,500, lying Texas. A trawler is a small ship, and its value lives in the systems - tankage, stabilization, electrical capacity, and engine health decide whether the long-range dream works, which makes independent buyer representation essential on this category.
Power is twin 4-53 Naturally Aspirated, 112 hp each. She cruises around 8 knots and tops out near 10 knots, carrying 1,370 gallons of fuel.
Accommodations run to 2 staterooms for 5 guests. She carries naval architecture by Jack Hargrave.
Highlights
What sets this hull apart on today's market.
Greg Gaus spent more than 20 years as a professional captain living with exactly these ship systems offshore, and evaluates a trawler the way an operator does: range at load, machinery health, and maintenance discipline before cosmetics. That is the lens every Double G buyer gets on this listing: what the hull is really worth, what the survey should focus on, and how she compares with every sistership currently for sale.

"Black Powder" questions, answered.
How much does the 49' Hatteras "Black Powder" cost?
The asking price is $299,500. Contact Greg Gaus at Double G Yacht Sales at (954) 881-5500 - as your buyer's broker he negotiates on your side.
Who is selling "Black Powder"?
"Black Powder" is offered by its listing brokerage through the YATCO MLS. Greg Gaus of Double G Yacht Sales represents you, the buyer: independent advice on price, survey attendance, and negotiation. On a brokerage purchase the commission is paid by the seller.
What does it cost to run a 49-foot trawler?
Plan on roughly 8 to 12 percent of the purchase price per year for an owner-operated 49-footer - fuel, insurance, dockage, and routine maintenance. Greg can build a realistic operating budget for this boat before you offer.
Where can I see "Black Powder"?
She is lying in Texas and shows by appointment through your broker. Contact Double G Yacht Sales to arrange a private showing.
How does the purchase process work?
Accepted offer, then a survey and sea trial contingency of typically 7 to 14 days. Greg - a licensed captain with 20+ years at sea - attends the survey and sea trial personally and manages everything through closing.
How much is Florida sales tax on a yacht?
Florida charges 6% sales tax on boats but caps the total at $18,000 per vessel regardless of price - one of the most favorable regimes in the US. Out-of-state buyers who remove the vessel within the statutory window may qualify for an exemption.
How fast is she, and what is the range?
Cruise around 8 knots, top speed about 10 knots and 1,370 gallons of fuel with twin 4-53 Naturally Aspirated, 112 hp each - comfortable Florida-Bahamas legs and seasonal Caribbean runs.

Price the refit into the offer, not after it.
At 50 years, what a boat needs next matters as much as what she asks. Greg Gaus spent more than twenty years as a working captain and has managed refits on Westport 40Ms and 112s and a Viking 92. Before you offer on Black Powder he can scope the work, get Fort Lauderdale yard numbers and build them into the price.
