Thanks to SEVEN I officially signed-up as I'm working on a refit of 1972 Hatteras 45 Convertible which is located in Aqaba, Jordan. My father acquired her in 1983. Unfortunately he is 92 with dementia, but we have great memories together.
The grand children are keen on a refit. I'm leading the project on their behalf.
I started with the engines that are Detroit Diesel 8V71T. God knows how many hours they've run. I've spent the past two weekends working with the team to get the starboard engine running. I will keep you posted on our progress. The last thing i want to consider is repower.
I'm seeking your advice if you can recommend a designer for a simple furniture layout in the deckhouse and cockpit. As you might imagine, this project is being executed with a limited budget.
Many thanks

Re: 1972 Hatteras 45 Convertible Refit
Thank you SEVEN, Photolomy and oscarvan. Here are some photos. Please forgive me for the current state. It's work in progress.
Would appreciate any guidance regarding a young designer to work with on the furniture layout.
All the best

Re: 1972 Hatteras 45 Convertible Refit
What facilities are available to get her hauled out? It looks like it needs a bottom job before you start running it. What kind of shape is the fuel in? You might be better off to pump the tanks dry and start with clean fuel. Is the boat a galley up or down? They usually came with a fold out couch and a high/lo table in the salon. Replacing the headliner is a time consuming job but will make a big difference in the look of the boat. Make a plan and a budget and try to stick with it. Get the engine room sorted out first . You will probably want to replace the fuel lines and the hoses after you get the engines running. How mechanically inclined are you? The hardest part is keeping motivated to see it through to the end. Break the project down to the “systems” and try to finish one System before you move on to the next. I would think material supply is going to be an issue but I could be wrong.

Re: 1972 Hatteras 45 Convertible Refit
I'm seeking suggestions and recommendations for young designers who could assist remotely (due to travel complications). I'm on a limited budget :-(
Scope of Work (Seating Layout Design)
The vessel is going through a refit.
- The Client is requesting design consultation from the designer in support of the updates to the general arrangement in the seating areas, salon and cockpit.
- The Client will provide images showing general layout and styling cues.
- The boat will be a day boat with an open space approach and is to be used as a cruiser more than a fishing vessel.
Client requires the following deliverables:
- Options for updating the arrangements (2D CAD)
- Final General Arrangement showing seating areas, salon, and cockpit (2D CAD)
- Views showing specific areas of interest including the salon/cockpit threshold (possibly a sliding glass door)
