    What does your original Hatteras manual smell like???

    After a terrible day at work, which is normal I could use a laugh. How old is your manual and what does it smell like?

    My manual is of 1986 vintage for a 87 delivery by Stuart Hatteras. It was store in an drawer under the dinette seat midship. This area is right over my vacuflush components in the ER. After spending alot of time with it, I would describe it as a combination of aged salty heavy paper with a hint of the holding tank.

    Mines original to the boat in 1979. It’s been kept high and dry. Smells a little like an old book.

    Put a bar of soap in the case/container you keep it in.

    I am not sure if I want to loose the smell, and it sounds like others have even better smells. Lol

    It has been days since I read this and today is the first day I can comment without going teary eyed laughing. Funniest thing I have read in a long time.
