Thread: 52 Sport Deck

    52 Sport Deck

    Does anyone know how many 52 SDMYs were made and why they were only made for a very short time (1997 - 1999). The design seem great for the islands and easy on and off.

    The 90's seemed to be a transition time for Hatteras. They moved away from the Semi-displacement Hargrave hulls and to a more deep-V design. During that period, it looked like they tried many things to get more speed and eventually just dropped the smaller boats in favor of huge motoryachts and SF over 60ft.

    The 52SD was probably only made a short time due to the fact that they decided to get out of building that size boat.
