I would love to hear some opinions on GB 42's (1974-1985-ish) and the Hatteras LRC 42 MKII.

These two boats seem to stand out as great options for my wife and I, hosting the occasional friends on day trips and weekend cruises. We live in Norfolk, VA.
The old Hatts are excellent built boats; solid glass hulls, glass stringers, decks and cabins - no wood in the layup. Excellent rough water full displacement hulls, but can be rolly in beam seas. Hatt LRC's have a cult following lots of info on the SAMSmarine Hatt owners site.
