Hatteras took the 58 LRC mold and lengthened it the 7 feet. They kept the taper going so the aft cabin master is narrower and they added a cabin aft making the aft master cabin shorter. Many folks like the extra guest cabin over the 58, I prefer a larger master and no other people down the aft steps. Except the grandkids.

Re: 65' Long Range Cruiser
The dinette was a great option, those boats that have the dinette seem to have the aft deck enclosed as a part of the salon. I would rather not have an enclosed aft deck , but it seems a lot of owners like to do this. My neighbor in N.C. had the last 58 LRC that was produced. Unfortunately for me, he sold it around 2000 for $765,000 , every 58LRC owner now thought their boat was worth the same. Now no hope of me getting one. I made an offer of $425k for one, they laughed me away. Two years later it sold for $330k. I had moved on. The fact that modern trawlers are getting older and dropping in price has got to effect the price of the LRCs.

Re: 65' Long Range Cruiser
Here's the thing....that boat falls into a high demand category for all of the right reasons, and the purchase price is going to remain strong for that reason coupled with the limited supply. The size, the space, the range, the amenities, it checks all of the boxes. Always will.

Re: 65' Long Range Cruiser
We were on this lovely LRC at the Trawler Fest Show in Stuart, Fl a few months ago. It’s amazing what the condition is after its refit/s. It’s like a new yacht. Everything is soooooooo sweet. The engine room is super clean. Not just ‘no dirt’ clean, but crazy clean. Yes, it’s all been redone, but...... The choice of materials, equipment and etc was really well done. The exterior might as well been new. It’s simply gorgeous. One of, if not ‘the’, nicest we’ve been on during our search.
Congrats to the new owner. They’ll be the hit of party everywhere they go. (I used to have an expression I used in some advertising about wildly painted go-fasts. “Not for the Shy”.)

Re: 65' Long Range Cruiser
Especially as the newer improved models start to age. The buyers in the 200-500k range would never consider buying new and were forced to look at these older classics. Now that those that bought new are upgrading the supply for boats in the 200-500k range are going to go through the roof.
Those of us who like the classics and are DIY friendly should do really well if they have the time/knowledge to upgrade one of these old girls when they come up for cheap. I mean I'm seeing 50'+ Hatteras in cruisable condition selling for $25k! Nuts!
