After much discussion with the broker (& then a mechanic), we've determined that the engines in the '62 41'er aren't 6v71's - as the Forum insisted don't fit in the early trunkcabins - but are 6-53 nats. I'm not looking for a high 20's cruise (close to 20 would be fine), but can this boat get...

I know I may sound like an idiot, but I'm seriously looking for a vintage (or other) tuna or marlin tower for an early trunkcabin Hatteras 41 SF. I'm trying to visually recreate the boat I grew up on. This in spite of the trend to REMOVE towers. Thanks for any replies and advice!! Ford

Sold my 1960 41' trunkcabin 4 years ago due to ethanol... hull #3. She's now in Maine getting diesels and a full facelift. Glad for her, but I miss having a trunkcabin! Anyway... I'm looking at a 1961 with 6v-71's. Hatteras raised the saloon floor in '64 to accept diesels. I'm familiar with...

Would be a great compliment to any Hatteras owner! http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/Classic-1972-Potter-Built-20-SEACRAFT-Center-Console-Yamaha-150-Boat-/330682392319?pt=Fishing_Boats&hash=item4cfe34deff

Anyone know the color/recipe for the mustard-y, creamy yellow color some owners use inside lockers, cabinets & closets?? I'm up to my paint chips in paint chips & cannot find anything close! My art-school degree has failed me...

Ethanol wins. Nobody'll cover relining my existing tanks with ethanol proof coatings, whether the yard does the work or not. Get new tanks or no coverage!!! Hatteras strength tanks be damned!!! So... I'm adding four - 50 gallon Tempo below deck tanks, until I get diesels. Two under the gunnels...

Anyone have experience changing over to underwater exhaust??? My Hatt has centerline exhaust now, which I'm changing to the corners to help with the stationwagon effect. Since I'm ripping out my cockpit ('60 41sf w/crusaders), it occured to me 'What's the difference drilling down instead of...

I want to add surge tubes to my 41' sport fish. Anyone know how to accomplish this? As previous posts show, I am replacing my cockpit sole this spring & will have unlimites access to the bilges. (My ethanol/tank progress is waaaay behind schedule!) Is there a formula/rule of thumb as to the...

Must be near spring, the # of posts has sky-rocketed! All full of GREAT information, but could you all type slower!? I can't read that fast! Happy & Safe boating 2007! FVS

Bumped into this on the Bertram31 site(pardon my French & transgression) & had to copy/paste it. Some guy posted about wanting to put a tower on his 28. This was not the only reply, but they all said the same thing: "I had a 28 with twin Yanmars, genset and all the other nice things we cram in...

Let the fun begin... Anyone have experience in opening old Hatteras fuel tanks? I'm replacing the cockpit on the SeaSwick, a 1960 41' w/454 Crusaders, & will be opening the fuel tanks to clean & coat the inside with an ethanol proof barrier (INTERPLASTIC's CoREZYNA(r) VE8770 VINYL ESTER...
