Also just got around to installing the ladder treads after refinishing. I last did these probably 10 years ago with clear Imron. Same procedure this time around. Build up with Epiphanes and top coat with Imron.

I last replaced fuzzies and sliders in these windows nearly 20 years ago. It was past time to do the job again. I've sat on the box of materials from Sams for a few years because I really didn't want to do it very badly. But I finally broke down and dug in. Glad its finished and good for...

Ran 90 miles in calm seas to Saugatuck, MI, mostly at 9kts to just enjoy the ride. But we did pick it up for a while on the way back. Here's a short video And some pics

We took a short trip to Muskegon this weekend and stayed at a new marina development there. Construction was still underway but the facilities were nice and the restaurant there was good, so it was worth the trip. Saw a nice sunset from the boat But later that night, after dark around 10pm...

Has anyone upgraded their old mechanical gyro Naiads to the newer digital controls? I'm in the process now and wondered how much improvement was realized.

I have seen only one 53MY where they replaced the rudders with slightly larger surface area rudders. I never talked to the owner to see if/how much this helped. Many have complained about the steerage in a following sea and I have to agree that the rudders seem small for a boat of this size...

I have for sale one set of Buell air horns. I just replaced these with a new set of Kahlenbergs. They look pretty good and still sound great. I was going to get them re-chromed but can't find anyone local to do that anymore.. The trumpets still polish up nice but the base has lost most of...

After running last year with the wrong ratio transmissions and this year with the wrong props, I finally got pulled and tried on another set. All year I've been running 30 x 28 4-blades and I knew I was underpropped as I was hitting 2400 rpms and showing 87% load. Cat rates the C8.7 as a 2300...

Check out this listing. Nothing like getting the year and length wrong to start with. https://www.yachtworld.com/yacht/1975-hatteras-sedan-cruiser-8509109/

I just installed a new Fischer and Paykel Refrigerator and decided to trim it out with a wall on the inboard side. I've seen this on other 53's and liked the look. It gives more of a "built-in" look. It still needs a few more coats of 704C but it should turn out pretty nice.

I need some thoughts/information on the original fuel system. After the re-power, we hooked up 1/2" fuel hoses to the original copper and plumbed to a dual Racor 1000, then to the Cat fuel/water separator, and then to the engine. At higher rpm, I'm getting a low fuel pressure warning. The Cat...

Saw these on ebay. Pretty neat read. I'm sure some of you old time Floridians will fill me in on the history of Lantana. https://www.ebay.com/itm/134418595135?mkcid=16&mkevt=1&mkrid=711-127632-2357-0&ssspo=47YDZW2bSHS&sssrc=2047675&ssuid=&widget_ver=artemis&media=COPY...

I bought one back in 2005 from Eagle something or other in North Carolina and it was great with storage underneath the seat. But its time for a new one that that place is no longer in business. Any suggestions?

They won't ship it. I don't understand why. They claim is has to do with Hazmat, but anyone can ship UPS Hazmat as long as its declared and you pay the extra fee. So, is anyone willing to stop by the FTL office of Sams and pick it up and ship it to me? I will pay the associated costs and...

I'd say its a little optimistic. https://www.yachtworld.com/yacht/1979-hatteras-53-motoryacht-8273206/

Does anyone have a CAD file of the Hatteras logo? My friend has a big CAD machine at his shop where he builds pontoon boats and we're going to use it to make my new dash panels. I thought it would be cool to put the Hatteras logo on the new dash. Just looking for a file with the late 80's logo.

I have one 12v, CW, 40MT for sale. $150 plus shipping.

Each alarm on the system is a closed circuit. When the sensor for that circuit opens, the alarm sounds. My question is, does each circuit run a positive or negative(ground) through it? Either would be possible, I'm just not sure and it may make a difference based on the alarm...
