Re: 1967 Hatteras 28 cruiser rescued
Thanks. I have some skills we'll see what happens. Im retired so got more time then money. Is this what the deck should look like or does this appear to be something someone has added. Interior wood has been painted with something like flat house paint. Gotta strip this and find the real beauty Thanks for any and all advice Don
Re: 1967 Hatteras 28 cruiser rescued
I'd bet money that it was added. My concern there would be that it was done to stiffen up the deck after the coring got soggy. The interior wood panels are usually veneered plywood so sand judiciously.
Re: 1967 Hatteras 28 cruiser rescued
Deck seems very solid. I jump up and down on it and went around it with a hammer. Seemed solid. Veneer huh? Ok might just leave it and do a better job of painting it to dress it up Thanks for the input

Update !!! Got the starboard engine running this morning!! Coffed and sputtered for awhile. Then smoothed out and run like a good engine should. Port side is being a little difficult. But ill get even with it soon Don in Bokeelia

There's a few single engine captains here.... Well,... One at least. Don't join the ranks unless you have to.

I've been told that willingly joining the "singles" club means you likely have a very special kind of insanity ;-)

Your in good company President Lyndon Johnson had a 28 just like yours on his ranches lake in Texas. I remember I think it was Life magazine had a article on the ranch and had pics of he and lady bird blasting around in the 28. Maybe someone can find that story and pics. I had cut it out (as I did anything Hatteras) when I was a kid but haven't been able to find the article since.

I should have specified "offset single". That other thing is still it's own situation.
