While trapped in the office today, I was looking at Hatts for sale and this one stood out.
What did they do, raise the walkway up to the top of the stringers? It looks fantastic, but giving up a foot of headroom could create a headache.
And as long as you remember to check your bilge pumps, the smooth cover over that area would certainly make sneaking around the back a little easier.
I've used those PVC channels for wiring in other boats, and like 'em. If you hate zip ties as much as I, that's the way to go.

I would hazard a guess that the batteries are under there.

Two numbers caught my eye.
Fuel capacity: 1095 gal
Range: 262nm
Won't be spending much time offshore with those numbers.Everyone should believe in something - I believe I will go fishing - Henry David Thoreau

Scott, think it's more like 2.5 gals per mile making 24 knots, that's what we burned when we had the 8v92TI 's.
With the CAT's its about the same fuel burn per mile making 25.5 -26 knots.CRICKET

Re: Look at the ER on this '79 53C for sale in St Pete
Where is the engine room access on a 53C? Is that it on the far port side of the cockpit? I called the broker for just a couple of quick questions, and I lead with "are the rebuilds documented for review." Maybe it was just me, but he seemed agitated with me. I just got the old comment"it's a old boat, you should just come crawl around it and smell it? He did state that receipts were available and that the owner bought a Viking and was a mechanic, but not the rebuild mechanic. Maybe it's just too soon for me to shop, who knows. We will be in Tampa on the 4th for a week, so maybe we can take a look.

A quick search finds that the current owner has definitely improved the boat from it's last listing in 2015. It looks to have benefitted from her owner/operator of Right Choice Marine which I was told may now be closed, at least in it's past format/storefront.
