Sometimes you just have to wonder.

Maybe this one was built IN Hatteras, but it was not built BY Hatteras.

But I must say the interior paneling looks a lot like the paneling in my Hatteras.

I'm no expurt but I've seen some older wood boats with hatteras attached to the description. I suppose for a location with so many independent builders back in the day the best name for an old woodie is the geographic location it was built. There are quite a few 'down east' boats from many years ago that don't have a pedigree. Just known as down east. But yeah the New York build makes for an odd reason to add Hatteras to the description.

Or he's a freaking genius. Look at how many people have viewed the listing.

But what would be the point? Nobody in the market for a Hatteras is going to consider a wood boat. Nobody looking for a wood boat would pay attention to the Hatteras label. Would be about the same as advertising a Ferrari Pinto in AutoTrader for $1,999. Just makes the broker look dumb IMO.

I don't understand this. Clearly they know this isn't a Hatteras Yacht. I think maybe some ad copy got mixed up somewhere. As said above, there's no useful purpose at all in calling this a Hatteras. It isn't one, and the two markets are miles apart.

Randy, $1,999 is a pretty good price for a Ferrari Pinto--I paid a lot more than that for mine.

After the seller explained how rare they were, I paid cash on the spot so that no one else could snap it up. Only thing wrong were a few scratches, but he said they would buff out easily.
