After 7 plus hours of phone time, over the last four months I've finally bought a Hatt from a guy who owned it for the last 29 years. Any veteran owners have any tips.
I'm a very seasoned boater since birth, just have zero experience with the brand. I've done light research over the years.

Welcome to the group. Looks like you’re a river boater (yes, I peeked), but that’s good too. Where did you find her?

Re: I've wanted a Hatt MY since I was a kid. Finally closed on one today!
I'm a life long local on Lake of the Ozarks. I've seen this boat around since I was a kid. I saw him in a cove when my wife and I were on our Carver 440 Aft. I cruised by to show my wife and ended up striking a convo with the owner.
He bought it in 92 had it out in the Chesapeake Bay for the first year. Was originally sold somewhere near Chicago. He brought it to Lake of the Ozarks I believe the second year he had it. And that's about the time I started seeing it as a kid. There's three Hatteras MY that I know on the Lake of the Ozarks. A 50 thats a ghost ship, a pretty nice 53, and my 50.
It's a 68. Suppostely 4th from last before Hatteras shut down for a year and regrouped for the 53. I've bought and sold a lot of boats and the interior is surprisingly original. Was repainted in late 90s Hatteras white(was a plus for me).
I'll get some pictures up in a sec. I have to transfer some over to my pc and brand new to the forum.

I'll get some more up. All my pictures are on my phone, and I need to transfer them over. Also little bit of a learning curve with the site. I don't know why it cut off the Aft end of my boat lol.
