Can't imagine she will last long in that condition at that price!!!

That's pretty perfect and a great price.

I would like to know what shade of white that is, it's sharp!

I was thinking it’s the lighting in the building.

Tough to ignore the beauty in all that upkeep. The extended platform could have sold me on going without a cockpit. Looks like a great price.

Someone out there with a W in their name may have found a well loved boat.

I'm likely putting an offer on this boat tomorrow. I looked pretty thoroughly over the entire boat but, as I'm new to Hatteras boats, anything in particular I should be looking for besides the obvious blistering(none!) and Detroit oil leak/burn(very very minor leak).
The Detroit's have 3700 hours but my friend knows the previous 2 owners and it's been run frequently and nice and easy pretty much its whole like. So they should have plenty of life left in there. Thanks in advance!

Good luck! Really love this boat. Tastefully done throughout. Feel it out for soft spots. We had many after 48 years on the lakes. Same engines in ours. Happy at 1300 but a lot cleaner at 2k. If you don't mind burning fuel, I found the few degrees increase in operating temp makes a significant difference in oil leaks. Only a few drips after running all day. We did relocate the oil filters and run new lines. Those old style filters were awful.

Great info! Thank you! Do you know your fuel burn rate at 1300 and at 2000? I’m finding mixed answers out there.

Different boat here. 48 yachtfish
You'll figure it soon enough though.

I didn't look to see what motors you have but I found this a while back for 8v-71Ti's

 

[Timeless72]

Nice to see we're close. .9 and .5 at 1300 and 2000.

That boat is amazing. I feel like I have slighted my boat by comparison.
