I've seen a few 53' MY Hatteras for sale in the Great Lakes. I'm trying to find out what is the usual selling price. If anyone could provide me with that information, I'd appreciate it. Don't know if we have brokers on this forum. I might jump up there and buy one and then bring her on her own...

I'm thinking of buying and bringing a 53' Hat MY, 8v71 in the Great Lakes area. The Hat gets about 1 mile per gallon at cruising speed @10MPH. So from Chicago to New Orleans, later through Panama Canal to Los Angeles. Anyone know how long should it take to go down the Mississippi into New...

I'll be buying a Hatteras within a few months. Well, at least that's the plan. Aside from the usual marina slip costs, what other monthly costs do you current owners have? Just want to make sure I don't get in over my head. Thanks, Douglas

You guys know I'm searching for an early 1970s 53' Hatteras MotorYacht. My budget is up to $120k. Here on the West coast, there are slim pickings, and the ones available are overpriced, in my humble opinion. I drool at many of the 53' MY available on the East coast, at very reasonable asking...
