I have a 69' 45C and it apparently has a glass over plywood house and bridge. Does anyone know when the house/bridge material changed to all fiberglass? I seem to recall a 1986 52C that I ran had a glass over wood house and a solid glass bridge. Does this sound right? Do the new models still...

Someone removed the old flourescent light bars in the heads on our 53EDMY. They replaced them with the light bars that have several round incandesant bulbs that are exposed (the ones you see in many newer homes). These look nice, but they are actually scorching the headliner. I now have brown...

Just a note to thank all of the members that were at Baltimore for helping to make it a great time! To any member that did not make it, you should make every effort to attend one. I never come any from one without learning something cool or meeting some really great folks! Ben and Tina (Size...

As some of you may know, Hatteras was kind enough to supply certain owners with two tickets to the show. We will not be able to attend so if anyone could use two tickets, feel free to get in touch with me and we can work out getting them to you. I don't want anything for them. I hate to see them go...

I am having a 1983 Hatt M.Y. with 6V92's (1800 hrs.) surveyed on friday 10/14 and an engine survey sometime next week. I would appreciate any insight into areas unique to the 48 or to the 6v92's that I should question the surveyors. Boat has cruised primarily in Chesapeake and been under cover and...
