This was someone’s dream at one point. Now it’s going to be someone’s nightmare. Such a shame.

Re: 58' Yachtfish for $29,000
tom, i have to disagree with you on the shorter aft deck and master. i was told by a service person at hatteras that the only difference was the added 5 ft cockpit and more tankage. i stripped the teak decking off of my back deck and found the original spot where the 53 my has the escape hatch in the aft deck.

Like Seven said, it is a shame.
I remember when you had to spend $200 ,to get a 58YF, now you can get one for less than $29K.

Re: 58' Yachtfish for $29,000
What could I have bought? A Sea Ray? A Mutt? I have the boat I want with the layout I want and set up the way I want!
I love the galley up and aft, it is such an improvement. Open right onto the aft deck. I have a master that s bigger than the master on most 60 footers... heads that are twice the original size with a 5’ jacuzzi in the master... centerline full size bed at the bow... modern stabilizers... a huge aft deck (bigger than the current 60 hatt) excellent acccess to everything for maintenance. And all in a bullet proof hatteras hull
I couldn’t care less about resale value... I ve owned it for 17 years and intend on keeping it until I m too old to grab a line and cleat itPascal

Re: 58' Yachtfish for $29,000
I have a 54MY with an 8 foot cockpit extension that contains a 7 foot deep garage. I bought this boat while looking for a 58YF after selling a 43MY. The cockpit makes life so much easier and fun for kids, dogs, and older people which is what I am becoming.
In a total gut job like this, what would you ideally repower with.
Would a 58YF be a candidate for the Zeus or Volvos?
How about 4*400 outboards and re-purpose the engine rooms?
Pretend the boat is free and it's your ex-wife's money.

Re: 58' Yachtfish for $29,000
I recently saw an old sportfish in the Caribbean that was sporting triple 400’s. Not sure what it does to the dynamics of the boat but I would be interested in finding out.

Re: 58' Yachtfish for $29,000
There is an HCB 53 with quads for sale a few slips down... I believe it burns over 100 gph at a 45 kts cruise. That’s on a boat with no superstructure and super light.
Imagine the fuel burn if anyone would bolt outboards to an old hatt? If they could even provide enough torque.
And four outboard will probably cost more than a pair of reman cumminsPascal

Re: 58' Yachtfish for $29,000
Buying another (larger) Hatteras is what I was thinking/talking about, but if you like that layout enough to invest that much in it, that’s a different story. Couple that with the fact you never intend to sell it definitely helps justify the expense. The key to never losing money on a boat is to never sell it.
It kills me to see boats advertised for $250K that underwent a recent $1M refit. It’s like, what were they smoking to spend that kind of money on a boat they didn’t intend to keep forever?
I’ve actually never really thought about it, but how do people get insurance on boats that will cover these high dollar refits that don’t add much to the market value/appraisal of the boat?
I’m not directing that towards you, but then again, you may well end up with the most expensive 53MY in existence by the time you’re finished. Personal labor contributions aside, can you get enough insurance to cover your investment?Randy Register - Kingston, TN
