Well, she's finally ours! good survey, good sea trial. a few minor items that I'll fix on my own but otherwise in good condition for a 40+ year old boat. I plan on fixing her up in Maryland, cruise the beautiful Chesapeake a little then prepare for a trip down the ICW to Miami.

The funny thing is that I originally wanted the boat for my dad.

Sorry dad...

here's a few pics.

Thanks everyone! Yaisy and I are very happy. She'll look as good as new once we're done with her. It's pretty cool that she is pretty much stock (except engines) from factory, no modifications.

Thanks Pascal. can't wait to show her to you. looks like NNH is going to be pretty crowded. With your boat, Angela's boat and Maynard Rupp's, I may need a shoe horn. :p

I live on Kent Island and have seen your Hatt over at Skipjack Landing. She always caught my eye and looks to be in great shape. I'm really glad to see she's going to someone who'll really appreciate her. Congratulations.

Congrats Mario and Yaisy! After having owned her for 20 years, the sellers are pleased that "Wye View" is going to a caring new home.

From my standpoint, its a pleasure to do business with a guy like Mario who has done his homework in advance and knows what he's looking at. Thanks!

Congrats! I was going to make sure your owner information got updated in the manufacturer's database but I see you're already there!

Let us know if there is ever anything we can do to keep your new girl happy!
