Hatteras wasn't consistent with YF and CMY badge. A 58YF Has walk around deck a 58 CMY is full beam salon with the extended deck house.

If you look at the 61 CMY, it has the same deck layout as the 58YF, walk around deck and no extended deck house.

As you indicated your interested in a 53 or 58YF, I would suggest considering the benefits of the cockpit, water access is easier, for swimming and dunk boarding, line and fender handling are easier. When stern in boarding is easier (no need to deploy the steps ).

As for the extended deck house, it has benefits, with the galley up an extra state room more living space, in the full beam area.

The 58YF carries a little more fuel, the 58CMY likely does also.
