  1. 55 Convertible Repower underway

    Threw a rod in July in the Starboard 12V71. Loved the engines, but this will be her third rebuild so decided to repower. Engines came out last Wednesday (pictures attached). Planning to change DC system from 32V to 24V (assume will have to replace heads, bilge pumps, windlass, autopilot - hate to...

  2. What's Happening to Hatteras?

    I popped on the Hatteras Website and was shocked with the featured boat. All I could think of is CARVER!! Say it ain't so.

  3. Chartering My 58TC

    Yep, I've talked about it before, but I think I'm going to give it a shot. Heck, I've already secured a domain name and corresponding email address. Now it's just a matter of getting the boat squared away and figuring out all the in's and out's of such an endeavor. I'm signed up for a course...

  4. What's up with boat prices?

    It's unreal to scroll thru Yachtworld and look at how the prices are dropping on used Hatts (and assumingly everything else). I am wondering if it is just because of fuel prices, or is it because everyone has taken their boating money and put it into the recent real estate "run up". If it is the...

  6. Winter Paint Job Report

    Our 48 LRC has been in the Jarrett Bay paint prep building for about five weeks. She is now ready for primer, and Monday looks like the day she will get several coats of Alexseal Primer. A few days back I took some pictures of my sad looking boat. Attached are two that may be of interest. Will post...

  7. Generator killing battery charger?

    My Xantrex XC battery charger just died 1 month after warranty expiration which is 2 years. :mad: Xantrex's "deal" is to offer me 30% off list price on a new one which is more than I paid for it and about what you can buy it for on the open market. I am not inclined to buy another of the same...

    Does anyone have any recommendations for a delivery captain to take a 52 Hat Convertible from Fort Lauderdale area to Texas? Our Broker has given us a few, but its always good to check around. What is the going rate now a days? Thanks Brooks

  10. In-frame rebuild guote and questions

    I just received a quote from a local Detroit shop for an inframe overhaul of our 12-71TIs. The quote was $34,300 for each engine, which includes an estimate of $11,200 labor for each engine, $4,060 for rebuilt heads and $1,200 for rebuilding the turbos. Does this sound about right for such a...

  11. STILL water in STBD ER

    After a recent BOATT type of yard bill, I'm still finding salt water in the STBD ER. I'm consoling myself by saying that yes the work had to be done at some point, but damn. I think the water intrusion is exacerbated by running the boat. I also notice that I'm missing both of those "leathery...

  12. Lightbulb 1972 Hatteras 45 Convertible Refit

    Thanks to SEVEN I officially signed-up as I'm working on a refit of 1972 Hatteras 45 Convertible which is located in Aqaba, Jordan. My father acquired her in 1983. Unfortunately he is 92 with dementia, but we have great memories together. The grand children are keen on a refit. I'm leading the...

  13. The slow restoration of Hatattack (34 Convertible)

    I believe it is time to start a thread just for documenting the slow restoration I am doing on the former Captain Dan now Hatattack a 1966 34 Convertible with twin 3160 Cats (non-functional). The boat has been underwater and has been somewhat cannibalized so it is one big mess currently. I pretty...

  14. Ship it or drive it???

    I just purchased a 1968 34C. I'm new to this class of vessel. The boat is located in Michigan City, Indiana. I live in Tennessee. I'm tempted to drive the boat from Lake Michigan to Lake Barkley, Ky where it will be slipped (via the Illinois, Mississippi, Ohio, Cumberland rivers). My other option...

  15. Three Conductor Shore Power Cord

    I just replaced another shore power cord using 6/3 instead of the normal 6/4. My boat like most Hats has transformers so the neutral from the shore supply is not carried on to the boat. You wouldn't think deleting one conductor would make that much diffrence but it sure does. The 6/3 is smaller in...

  16. repowers & Hatt future values

    I just got to thinking with the 60 conv. repower thread that there are going to be more and more "legacy" Hatt owners looking to/needing to repower say in the next 5 to 8 year time frame. Who knows until we all get there, but whenever that magic year is the pressure and rationale certainly will...

  19. What does the future hold for our old Hatts?

    I keep looking at some of the Hatts on ebay and such that sell for next to nothing and it got me thinking. What will be left of these old boats in another 20 or 30 years? I know we always talk about how well built they are, but I see more and more just deteriorating due to lack of use and lack...

  20. If Money Was No Object!

    Ok guys: I asked this question on another forum a few years ago, but those guys weren't as sophisticated, or knowledgeable as you guys. You hit the lottery for a hundred million. (it could happen). So now what? Would you keep the boat that you have, get something bigger, smaller, faster, newer,...
