Thanks for all the comments!
I do agree with the last comment that there are a lot of "better" boats out there cheaper than $10,000 and in better condition. Those better deals are always located in California, Florida or North eastern States. Nothing in Texas where boats have a greater value and have a quick turn over. I have been searching for the past year on pretty much all the re sale sites on the web and even salvage yards. I have decided on a min. 41 foot and if they go on sale, they are bought up the same day. I looked into transporting some of those "Good" boats from afar and it always came up to another $10,000.
The guy with the 74 is also selling his slip for $15,000 the other one rents the space for $350
My goal is to eventually buy a slip to minimize on the monthly cost, Would just need to pay $45 to the harbor Master and electricity. If I put a decent grid up I could reduce the electric bill a bit.
On another point I was thinking if I start moving major things around like the area of the fridge, tanks etc, I might end up with the boat not being level. I even played with the idea of removing the 2 motors and making a one level platform, but that would end the boat ever being a motorized boat and would make the boat even more unstable....

Neither of those boats are a '64 41. Just saying.

Re: Helping to Identify these Hatteras Yachts
I own a '65 41DC and the '64 would have looked the same, short of a minor change in the side salon windows. The 41TC came out in later '65 and has a distinctively different look, especially the windshield. The brochure archives on this site are a good source for helping ID the older boats.

Re: Helping to Identify these Hatteras Yachts
I agree. I think you're going to end up with a huge money pit that can't be moved, and will have the same effect on your bank account as mailing it a small low-yield nuclear device.

Re: Helping to Identify these Hatteras Yachts
Ha, this has been fun. Thanks for your input and comments. I will get the project motor boat as it’s another experience I want to go through. I have already customized and lived in a bus, pop up, trailer, motor home and car. Lived in 18 countries and have been on over 100 planes. I currently own a Catalina 27 and want to go Motor boat. So this project will be just another feather in my hat. Life is what it’s all about!

Remember you said that on 12/28/20. That was you speaking. Good luck. You will need it. The bright side is that even a very clapped-out Hatteras can still be worth saving.
