    53MY Tender

    I am looking for a new tender. What size Whaler came on the boat originally a 9 or 10 ft? Mine is a 1981 Hatteras 53ft. Any recommendations or alternatives? I don't want it hanging over the sides or looking to large proportionately for the boat.

    Thanks,

    Mark

    13 is typical the other is 11’ but too small to be practical

    On my 53 MY,
    I have a 11' Boston Whaler.
    It works out perfect.
    Don't think I would want anything longer.
    Maybe if you are going with an inflatable or semi-ridged you could go longer?

    I have a 10’6” inflatable Apex center driving station with a hard bottom. Lighter weight and very safe. Love it.

    The 13 works on an 18'2" beam Hatt, but for a 15'10", the 11 is best.
