53MY promotional video from the 70s

Tony aka Woodsong posted this on boaterEd. I never saw it before but it's fun to watch! what a flashback, you almost expect a young Sean Connery to step in and say.... "my name is bond, James Bond"

Or Ricardo Montalban saying "feel the smooth, quiet ride, and the rich, Corinthian leather"

That was really cool!!! I'm wondering about that "fully maintenance free" part, though. My Hatt sure isn't maintenance free!

Think about this...whose boat is that in that video...it could be yours....we may never know.

I wonder where that video has been hiding all these years! It looks like it is the 53 used in the first sales brochure, which I believe was a 1969, maybe even hull #1: http://www.hatterasowners.com/Brochu...53MYB-0069.htm

The models aboard look like the same people in the brochure and video also.

Very cool. I have already sent some links out to some Hatteras friends that don't participate in this forum.

Angela - thanks so much for sharing that.

I'm sending the link to everyone around here to see. I'm also sending it to couple of old geezers that are still at Hatteras who were there when that video was made. As best I can tell, it was made a few years before I started at Hatteras in '74. I was only 19 and still in college by the way...

Thanks again!

I saves the clip on my computer in case it ever diasears from you tube...

Angela - thanks so much for sharing that.

The thanks goes to Pascal - he shared the video with us.

You could be right. Those heads looked very strange - like a box with a toilet seat on top. I've never seen anything like that, but I'm sure those heads are all gone from this world by now.

That was great! This was the kind of post we needed on here now. I don't know which was funnier, the hippie chick or the 8-track deck.

I've got the original '65 factory brochure for my 41DC, and it came standard with a record player. The hairdo's and furniture look about the same as on the video.
