I'm in the market for an LRC and have read lots of good things about the LRC club and am considering joining. I have visited their public web page many times over the years and it doesn't appear to be updated very often. Is the club still active? As a paying member is there plenty of recent and...

I really like the 58 CPMY with the galley up option. There is currently only one on the market that I can locate, and it's on the west coast. Does anyone have any idea how many of these boats Hatteras built?

This is one pathetic attempt at marine casualty reporting...too bad about about the old Hatt. Happened just down the river from me. http://flaglerlive.com/58038/hatteras-boat-sinks/

I am researching the possibility of buying a classic 61 MY. Currently there are 18 available on YW from $189k-$495k. Does anyone here have any insight into what these boats are actually selling for? It seems they are generally much higher priced than the 58's. I assume that is a function of...

I am in search of a set of deck chocks/cradle to store an 11' Whaler on deck. Anyone here have a set they will part with??

I recently had a davit installed on the foredeck of my 43c. I had the installer de-core and epoxy the area around the stand pipe and mounting flange to avoid any wet core issues later. My question is, should I also de-core the areas where I attach the deck cradle and tie down anchors? Is it...

I am considering Amtico flooring for the galley, companionway, v-berth, and head on my 43C. I know a lot of you have used Amtico on your Hatt's. My question is, how do you treat the border of the access hatches in the sole? Is there an edging material that can be used to create a border...

Found a great 11 footer in Ft. Pierce. The search is over. Thanks all!

Can anyone recommend a SAMs certified surveyor in the Eastern Connecticut/RI area? Preferably one that has lots of Hatteras knowledge. Thanks.

I just acquired an 800# Nautical Structures davit and am researching installing it on my 43C. Do any members here have a davit on a Series I 43C? I did a forum search and there was another member here asking a similar question. There were some excellent responses from owners of 42's and 45's...

The admiral and I are heading over to Bimini this weekend from Palm Beach to partake in the awesome Wahoo fishing going on right now. Any other HOFers going to be there? We are planning to stay at the Big Game Club..has anyone here been since the Guy Harvey makeover?

I currently own and enjoy a 1979 43C. I am looking to move up to a larger convertible that has at least 2 full heads/showers, and a washer/dryer. I looked at a 1979 55c today and was disappointed with the small salon due to the galley up-dinette configuration. I am looking for suggestions as...

Does anyone here have any experience with this flooring. It is a vinyl sheet product that looks like teak and holly. I was thinking of using it in the galley and head of my 43C. It is a bit pricey, but less expensive and easier to install than the real thing...
