As one Hatt owner to another, congratulations on your purchase. That's a particularly nice model for cruising and looks to be in great shape.

50 yrs old and pride of ownership by P.O. is obvious, enjoy her and congrats!

They are really nice boats, congrats.

Congratulations on the new boat.
Have you settled on a home port for her?

With the new regulations of foreign nationals owning pleasure craft in the US she will be undocumented with the USCG, unregistered in Florida and then registered at Lloyds of London and fly the red ensign..

We live in the city of Hull in East Yorkshire so we will probably have

Hull on her hull...!!!

Just to confuse people...

What I meant to say was where in FL will you keep the boat,

Great boats. Introduce yourself to the Hatteras Owner's Forum too. The sponsor there, Sam's Marine, is a great source of knowledge and parts. There is a separate LRC owners somewhere too. I have happy memories of cruising a friend's MarkII LRC through the Canadian Maritimes. Influenced me to go Hatteras as well, we lived aboard and cruised a 56MY for almost 7 years. You're going to have some fun with that!

Congratulations.... very nice!

Muriel · 04-13-2020, 02:51 AM

I like your post. I am crazy about this model... and the mark 1 specially. Do you have the 4-53 engines or others ? I may purchase one soon. Best regards. Muriel

IRENE · 04-13-2020, 09:43 AM

I missed the announcement, but WOW, what a nice example. Congratulations and enjoy. Big LRC admirer here!

moparharn · 04-13-2020, 11:30 AM

Look at you!!!!

Nice boat!

I like the Trinka as well. I am a little too arthritic and xl sized to use a Trinka comfortably, but they sure are neat little boats.

Your pictures show a very nicely maintained LRC. I wish there were more like yours for sale up here in Michigan.

Enjoy!
