"I really like the classic lines of the Hatteras but don't know much about them?"


I actually like many of the early Hatteras boats in these size ranges and cruised along side of two of them for a number of trips our boating club was doing. We did seriously a few of them including a 53 Hatteras more than one time before we purchased. They had a lot of things going for them but in our specific case (not necessarily someone else's) They fell short on the list. They have huge spaces and full sized appliances that will amaze you. But things like draft, air height, travel lift capacities, parts and conversion costs as well as fuel costs per season kept us away.
I think that many of these can be dealt with dependent upon where and how you boat if they appeal to your list of needs/wants.
