61 Hatteras CPMY 1984

Full disclosure, I've never seen this boat in person< But a company I do work for has it listed. That's not why I'm posting it. I'm posting it because from the pictures it looks like a nice clean, Re Powered with Cummins CPMY. I know a few people on here have been looking for such a boat and I thought this may be a good possibility for them to consider. Again, I don't personally know the boat, just looked like a good listing when I stumbled across it. Hope this helps someone.

Too bad they went with a low hp repower. If you can live with that, then it might be worth a look.

My thoughts exactly. It was not designed to be a trawler and taking out 5 or 6,000 lbs may not help the ride. I hope the stabilizers don't fail.

I know a guy with a 60MY. His Wilcox stabs failed out in Lake Michigan. One went hard over causing the boat to list horribly in 7 footers. He couldn't go over about 7kts for fear of dipping the gunnel below the waves which happened a couple of times. I know that's extreme and not a fault of weight or balance, but it shows what a boat like this will do if things are not right.

The Motors look tiny compared to the originals. If I was to repower this boat I would've went with the QSM 11's Personally. Wouldn't have beem much more money, all the labor was there already. Don't know the back story though, maybe he had his reasoning.

Dipping the gunnel on a boat like this? That must have been really bad. And I'm assuming that boat still had the 12v71's or 92's to add some weight. Never thought about that happening.
