    55' Hatt sunk 53 miles off of Port St. Joe

    Is this anyone from here? I'm told ‎this is a 55' Hatteras sportfish that sunk 53 miles from Port St Joe. The Sea Tow diver is refloating boat so it can be towed back to shore.

    Ang,

    Anything else reported on what may have caused the sinking?

    Thanks,

    Maybe it's the angle but that looks smaller than a 55.

    Take another look. The exhaust ports are on the side under the aft spray rails, I think this was limited to the 50' and up Hatt sportfishers of the day.

    I've seen a ton of retrofits with the side exhst. Look at the bridge style and size of the diver next to the boat. 43 maybe?
    Looking at the rub rail and second chine or ever you want to call it just above the waterline I dont think its a hatt.

    I have to agree with some of the comments - looks too small to be a 53, and doesn't look all that Hatty from that angle I'm seeing, but who knows. I'm not a sportfish/convertible expert. If it were a 58MY, I could probably point that out just by a piece of floating trim. LOL

    It was the SeaTwo guy (the diver) who said it was a 53' Hatt. I've asked for more details, and am awaiting a response.

    I was thinking that by posting this, perhaps someone here would know the story behind what happened and whether it was a HOFer's boat. The real story will eventually surface.

    I think it's hard to tell what size she is from the angle. Definitely an '80's Hatt SF. Looks like a 55C or maybe a 52C. Could even be a series II 45C. The exhaust looks like a factory set up but very well could be a retro fit

    Jack bet ya a beer its not a hatt. The angle where the deckhouse meets the bridge is all wrong.

    We don't usually see our boats from this angle, thank God, but I agree with RS- I don't think it's a Hatteras, either. I'm sorry it's anyone's boat, to be honest.
