Greetings HOF members. Hope you all had a lovely holiday.
Looking for a nice 54MY or 56 wide body. Would consider a 58 widebody / series 2.
Thanks for any intel or PMs.

Hi Cheryl, Don't mean to derail your thread but didn't you just get out of a 53' Hatteras? I have your original bathroom sink and faucets in my head from your remodel a few years back. You getting back in the game?
Living aboard again. Thinking about it. I always figured I'd be looking for a Hatteras again, didn't figure it would be this soon.
Welcome back!Quote:

My daughters boyfriend’s uncle has an 86 58 MY for sale. I think it has never been out of freshwater. It looks pretty nice in the listing. It is on Boatrader but I am not slick enough to attach it.
What an amazing 58! Looks like she sold recently. Thanks for the lead though. She looks very special.
Hi Cheryl. It would be great to see you as a Hatteras owner again. I assume you know that J. Grays boat is for sale?

Ben & Tina-
Thanks for that! I saw FA5 on YW but I was told she's under contract. Really nice boat. Seems the nice ones are moving.

Have a 1971 58 YF that we just don't just much anymore, if you're interested. It's in Galveston, PM me for details.
Welcome back and Happy Hunting.
Thanks for that! Looking is much fun, also a little stressful. Trying to keep it all in the right perspective.
Looking for something around mid-80s vintage. I like the YF model and can't figure out why Hatteras didn't re-invent them later on. The later cockpit models (other than sportfish) are too large for what we're looking for (e.g., 61-63'+).

I would seriously look at Angela's 58MY, Sanctuary. Due to storm damage from Hurricane Irma her insurance company has declared the boat a total loss. The damage sounds like some glass work, paint, and replacement swim platform. She did not sink. I hear the insurance company wants $40,000 as is. I bet they would take any offers. If there is no serious hidden damage this boat can be a real bargain. While I have not been on her in several years Angela has always maintained her in first-rate condition so she is not the usual junker, just one the insurance company won't bother with.
Move her out of Miami, find a DIY yard or one farther north where labor is cheaper, tell the yard to fix her in their slow period. This could be a rare opportunity to pick up a quality, well-cared-for boat at a bargain price.
If you are looking for a boat it would be a big mistake not to look at this one. I think the insurance company gets her around the end of January, so look now!
Check it out in person with a member of the yard that will fix her. Get a close estimate. There will be surprises.
Holtcl, I sent you a private message and can’t tell if you got it, nor can I tell that I sent it. Did you get it?
I agree. Monica and I stayed aboard Sanctuary several times (a week each time) a few years ago andQuote:

Buy it before Gilman does LOL :)
Sorry, have been on travel and just got back yesterday. I saw the post on Sanctuary and was saddened to hear that she was hurt in the storm. Having had a 5-year project in Cinderella, my previous 53, I am not sure I'm up for another project at this time. I might have one more project boat left in my lifetime!
Continuing to look at leads and just responded to the private message.

I have a nice 53 ed, 1983 in Deland Fl. I'm thinking of selling it, health reasons.
Thanks Lunatica-
Have been to Ohio, Kentucky, and Florida for boat-looking - if we get on the road again in that direction I'll reach out to you. Wish you well.
