Pics suggest that looks like a nice boat.

Now THAT one IS worth driving over to look at. That looks like a lot of boat for an ask of $39K. If I were in the market for a 43MY, I'd be in my car by now.

Jim,

This is one of the most common mistakes I see. People calling a 43DC, a 43MY. They are two completely different models built on the same hull.

I'm sure it was a typo, but I'm sorry, it's just one of my pet peeves.

Sky, I believe Hatteras originally referred to the 1971 - 1984 DC as a double cabin MY and gradually it became known simply as the 43 DC with the advent of the 1984 43 MY. Besides, a rose by any other name.. yada yada...... The 53 MY was simply a 53 MY prior to the introduction of the ED at which time it became known as the 53 Classic.

[jim rosenthal]

No, he's right, my mistake. It's still worth looking at even if I had the model name wrong.

No, Hatteras has always referred to the 43 DC as a DC, never as a double cabin MY. They also never called the 53 MY a classic, it remained the 53 MY throughout its run.

And I think they have never built a boat actually called a sportfisher, have they? They've always been called convertibles- well, to be exact, the first 41, the Knit Wits model, was actually called a convertible yachtfisherman, or something like that.

Now I'm going to have to look. I don't want to be wrong twice in one day.

[jim rosenthal]

This isn't my day. They built 28, 32, and 36 models which were called "Sportfisher".

That is all.

The brochure archive tells the story. Thanks Sams. What a great resource.

BTW, I have never seen a 1984 MY or DC. I think they skipped a year to retool.
