1993 58 sportfisherman

[bigbill]

i have a friend interested in a 1993 58 sportfisherman with 16-92's, looking for the good the bad and the ugly about this model....hit me with all you got

[Captain Ralph]

Well, they are 92s. Then there is 32 of them.
Each long block weighs 5000 lbs.
15 gallons of coolant, not including the HE.
23+ gallons of oil.
Base TA starts at 1000 HP.

If it is on the market, probably needs a re-build.
Can you point us to the web ad?

It takes a hardened Detroit fan with a BA check book.
Your friend will have new best friends working for him, maintaining those beast.
I am a DDC fan. That is to much engine for me to keep up..

Sadly, Other than the old (OLD) MTUs, and you want an ole 58 Hatt SF, this would be the power.
The boat it self,, Bomb Proof..

I looked at at a 58 thinking it might be just a little better than a 55. The 55 is the better model in my opinion regarding interior layout and outside style. To me the 58 looks too tall for its length. As far as 16v92s I don't know how many hours are too many before a rebuild is needed, I would like to hear from other members here that have them.

I don't think they built many 58s; I recall hearing that they weren't very popular boats. He might be better off looking for a 55 or a 60. I agree about the engines. Big, thirsty, and expensive to maintain.

I remember when it came out wasn’t well liked. That and the 65 really didn’t handle that well offshore in a following sea. Wasn’t until late 90’s 2000’s that Hatteras finally got the tunnels speed and engine setups figured out.

he likes the sportfish layout and style over a motoryacht, will be cruising and spending vacation and weekends on her, not fishing at all. the boat is in pretty good shape, only thing is those big thirsty engines. we have not gotten in to it deep enough to check engine hours, gen hours and what works and what doesnt. electronics are dated

16V92s are monsters in a 58 footer! I wonder how much a pair of factory remans 3412Es go for…

Well, they are 92s. Then there is 32 of them.
Each long block weighs 5000 lbs.
15 gallons of coolant, not including the HE.
23+ gallons of oil.
Base TA starts at 1000 HP.

Just remembered;
2 raw water pumps per engine.
2 x 24Vdc starters per engine.
I found some Marine rated engines @ 1450 HP.
