In my email inbox is a group of listings from Bluewater in Hampton, VA. It includes a 45C that may be of interest here- repowered with Cummins 450Cs, some updates. Asking around 57K. Appears to be a decent and tidy boat although (obviously) dated. But the engine room appears clean and for someone looking to get into a mid-size Hatteras convertible, this might be worth checking out. I don't know what the performance is like- this is about the same power and torque as the original 8-71s, but with a considerable savings in overall weight, so it may be somewhat quicker.

I don't know the owner, I don't know the broker, and I've never seen the boat itself. Nor do I have a dog in this hunt. But I thought it was an interesting listing, hence the posting here.
