Hi All, I was just looking at images of our various classic motor yachts and I started wondering, (which always gets me in trouble and often highlights my ignorance), just how effective and necessary those aft splash rails are.

Hi All, I was having a loose rail base replaced and obviously re-bedded. Even though the core seems "ok" the yard mentioned pouring de-natured alchohol into the 4 holes, letting it dry and then use west 610 or 5200 to re-install. Has anyone else heard of the denatured alcohol trick......they...

Hi All, Came across this in the "archives" so to speak of Glittering Images trip from Florida to New England in appx Feb 2007......gotta admit it's stunning !!

Hi All, Searched the archives a bit, found a bit of info, but would like fresh input. I have the traditional Hatt controls (1974) and would like to lubricate the cables....is there a way other than WD40 dripped in from the top ? Appreciate the input.

Hi All, We try to visit Nantucket a couple of times a year and put up at the Boat Basin, alas this year due to my health the boat is on the hard so we had to take the ferry (arhhhh) at least it was the fast one. I thought I'd post a few images that you all might find interesting. First a...

Hi All, FWI, just ran across this om CL. http://southcoast.craigslist.org/boa/3161154312.html

Hi All, Took my regular trip down to the shipyard to see what’s new. Been out of commission so I haven't been down in a while. Here are a few interesting sights. A really big Hatt Sport Fisherman (kinda reminds me of Jacks but nowhere close to Saltshaker's condition).

Hi All, I've been searching for quite some time now and I may have a source who can re-create the instrument panel round metal/plastic labels at an affordable cost. How many of you folks would be interested in having some ? Would you only want the stainless washer material or would a black...

Hi All, I've been struggling with my health and it's hammered me. Not to worry though........As a result last season we only left the slip 3 or 4 times and hauled out for Irene in September and called it a season. This year I don't have the ability to commission her and even if I did I...

Hi All, Just for discussion purposes !! (FYI seemed like a very small keel as well)

Hi All, I'm having the shore power in Glittering Image completely removed and replaced. The impetus for this is primarily to upgrade from the buss fuse breakers used in the 1974 models. This includes the shore power receptacles (6) the wiring to the breaker boxes and the breaker panels...

Hi All, I was poking around and came across this site: http://www.shipmodel.com/ Stunning work. Was hoping they might have or be able to create a 48 YF for me. Here's the email response from the Gallery Director...

Hi All, 1985 Hatteras 53' ED Motor Yacht in Chesapeake, VA named "Charlies Angels" Thanks

Hi All, Just received the new Soundings today and flipped thru it quickly. I noticed a picture of a beautiful classic Hatt, of course I had to stop to investigate and there's a picture of Bill and Kathy and a great story about their passion for cruising and for their 54' Hatt (triple).... Bill...

Hi All, I thought as mariners the Forum might be interested in this story. Back in August of 2010 we were spending 10 days in Nantucket in a slip at the boat basin and it rained and blew a Nor-Easter the entire time we were there (it was sunny and beautiful the day we left)…still bitter….but...

Hi All, I'm thinking of replacing the headliner on the boat (it's in good condition but I thought it would freshen it up and allow me to do some creative lighting). Several folks have commented on how wonderful the new removable vinyl covered hard panels have worked out, I understand they...

Hi All, Here's a story related to me by an acquaintance who I feel is reputable however I can't confirm the facts. This acquaintance of mine and his good friend recently came into a ton of dough. They both decided to look for new boats (used 50'-80'). I of course suggested they look at...

Hi All, I live only a few minutes away from one of the largest and well respected yards in New England, Fairhaven Shipyard. They handle it all, hundreds and hundreds of steel fishing trawlers, power yachts of all sizes and materials ie fiberglass, aluminum, steel, wood.......A full service...

Hi All, At the urging of several of my HOF pals I recently picked up (at a surprisingly high cost) a copy of David Pascoe's "Mid Size Power Boats”, a 2004 edition. I've read it cover to cover and learned a lot. It's now for sale. I paid $100 for it and would like to sell it for $50. Email or...

Hi All, Here's a copy of the original Hatteras 1974 specs/price sheet for a 31sc. Hope you find it interesting. If anyone would like a copy sent to them in PDF (or other format) just PM me. While it may not represent your model year it might be applicable on some level.
