I saw this earlier today. I'm selling.
Very handsome boat. Very nice interior refit. Have you seen this boat? She looks terrific in the photos.
Beautiful but a bit pricy.......unless you consider all that has been done to her and her outstanding condition. Of course these are only pictures and a personal inspection up close will tell, as Paul Harvey used to say "now for the rest of the story". Now if it also had a pair of QSM-11's that would make it as close to a perfect 53 as can be. I like the way they moved the bridge controls forward which opened up the bridge deck. It would be tempting if it were on the East Coast and I was about 10 or more years younger (I'm 80). I'm sure they have sunk a substantial amount of boat bucks into it to make it like that.

I wonder how long they will leave it at that price before the lower it so they can actually sell it. Note engines no air seps or Racor ccv,s. incredible varnish job. John
It's got a few kool added feature. I like the galley.
Right you are Walter. A skilled photographer using a wide angle lens, tight f-stop and long exposure can really enhance an image. I suspect that is the case here. I recently had one of my homes listed by a realtor and he was able to use that technique to make even my satin finished hardwood floor look like high gloss in the on line images.
You might not even need M11s for a 53MY. They will go surprisingly fast with C series Cummins, esp the 540hp rated ones. Part of this may be due to the weight savings= C series are a lot lighter than DDs. I think this is a nice looking boat, although I don't agree with everything they did. The price is clearly too high- if it sells in the mid-200s it will be extremely well sold, I would think.
She looks very nice, I really like the glossy interior... that said she still has 40 year old wiring and systems. Not worth what they re asking
Wear coast Hatteras's bring more than east coast , nice boat , but overpriced , .....Pat
