    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.
