Re: 65 Hatteras LRC Positive & Negative
I've done work on 58 LRC's and other Hatts and will say the 58 LRC was nicer to work on than any MY so if the 65 is in line with the 58's accessibility you have a great vessel that should give you years of service.
Do not downgrade the systems with cheaper alternatives because that boat was built for the long haul and most of the gear on it is truly solid and reliable. some people think they were overbuilt and that they can scale some things back. In reality they are well designed, solid and long term reliable.
I'm jealous. I hope to have one one day so please take good care of her. There are not many out there.Scott

Re: 65 Hatteras LRC Positive & Negative
I agree with Scott's comments and am fortunate enough to have one of the 65's little sisters, a 58'.
In reality, the 65 is a stretched 58, so they're basically the same boat, except for a little more room inside. Same set-ups, same engines, gensets, etc.
If you haven't done your historical background work yet, you'll be happy to know that you have one of only a very few 65's remaining in the world. To echo Scott's cquote, please take care of her!
I'm curious too, which one did you buy?

Could be Sue's Pool or the Cleanidini boat.

Thinking of the Cleanidini boat in Mystic, they had to do quite a bit of core replacement up on the fly bridge decks and some on the foredeck too, as I recall from my visit. Not that that is limited to the 65LRC by any means.
