40 ft. 1988 Hatteras MY GAS / $49,500 / 2 owner boat.

[roundIII]

Owned for 10 years. Purchased from original owner. Boat has been consistently up dated and maintained. Garmin 4212 and Garmin Radar. I was going to take plenty of pictures of the outside but the weather would not cooperate so I am including the interior and motors as this seems to be what most everyone is interested in at first. Enclosure replaced 3 years ago. 1999 Avon 10.5 dinghy with 1999 15 hp Yamaha and canvas top. Marquipt davit. Excellent , clean boat. Ready to go. Has original a/c units plus a self contained unit installed in the master closet with totally separate system, thru hull and pump. Remodeled galley, vinyl flooring in galley and forward head. Teak flooring in aft head. Two TV's, custom lighting throughout. Led lighting in engine bay. All equipment, lines, fenders, supplies go with boat. No longer boating. I am through.

Original 454 motors rebuilt 600 hrs. on rebuild. Documented every step of the way. Has Edelbrock carbs, Mallory distributors, exhaust/risers done last year , silicon exhaust hoses, all stainless clamps, all sanitary hoses replaced, heads have been rebuilt in the last few years. List goes on and on. New batteries last week. New raw water pumps.

To my knowledge this boat needs nothing. VERY CLEAN, ready to go. Would have it at the marina this week checking bottom but got delayed by the approaching storm until next week.

Have plenty more pictures and I hope I can load the ones I have selected for this message.

Located in Vero Beach, Fl. 813 765 1040

Thanks,

Very nice! Great price. I wish that it was closer to us. We're in the market for a Hatteras! Especially one with a guest cabin.

GLWS!

PM sent!

I'm bumping this back up because the owner was nice enough to send us many pictures and a wealth of information on this boat. Sadly it's not for us, but anyone else who is even remotely interested, or knows someone who might be, needs to check this boat out! It's priced well for the overall outstanding condition and very well maintained.

 

[Stripes]

Thanks, Ron for getting back to me!

Mrs. Stripes and I will peruse the pictures and info today. If we want to move forward, we'll touch base and make arrangements to see the boat in person. We'll be in the area from December 23rd to January 1st.

Cheers

Hi Stripes,

I have a 1989 40 DC that I have owned for 5 years now. It is not for sale, but I wanted to let you know that we love the boat and my wife and adult kids enjoy it every weekend throughout the summer. The 40 DC is fairly easy to maintain and handle with 1 or 2 people. We have had 7 people sleep on it at one time. maintenance / operation costs (with 454 Crusaders) is very reasonable and most mechanically inclined people can easily maintain / repair them. I do not know this specific boat or the owner but if it is in good shape the price is a steal. I paid over $100,000 five years ago and do not regret my decision. If you want to see how another 40 DC looks I have about 30 photo's of my boat on the forum.

Lowering price to $44,900.

This is a good boat that is ready to be used. Only two owners. Not altered or cut up. Very clean.

Thanks,

I don't know this particular boat, but based on other discussions we've had on the forum, I believe that this boat, which has gasoline engines, was built with the later fuel tank material, so it is not subject to the tank degradation issue that earlier boats suffer with.

 

[Boatsb]

Later tanks were rated for a small amount of ethanol.

If they up it to 20% or more your screwed.

 

[roundIII]

Thanks for all the help.

Perhaps I can return the favor one day.

When I want your opinion I will ask for it. Kind of similar to your theme but with a bit more reality.

Please continue sharing your vast knowledge and opinions as you do every chance you get whether you know what you are speaking about or not.

Borrowed from a publication.

By the way I'm not commenting on the vessel, I'm commenting on the use of ethanol and the dangers it poses.

It's not safe for use in boats when the ethanol content goes higher.

We still don’t know how and when E15 will be offered for sale, or if it will ever be sold in your local marina. We do know that you don’t want it in your marine engine, as the experts are unanimous on the subject. According to Mercury Marine: “Fuel containing higher proportions of ethanol is not compatible with many fuel system and engine components and, if mistakenly used, will cause irreversible damage to these components that will lead to engine failure and potential safety risks.” At this time, we can only warn you about the possibility of confusion and the risk of accidentally filling your boat’s gas tank with E15.
To keep your engine and fuel system safe:
Do not put any fuel containing more than 10% ethanol (E10) in your boat’s fuel tank or outboard motor (EPA’s decision only applies to 2007 and newer highway vehicles), unless your owner’s manual specifically states otherwise.
Check the pump to be sure that it is dispensing E10. Some gas pumps at local gas stations may offer both E10 and E15, or have blender pumps that dispense mid-level ethanol fuels for Flex-Fuel automobiles. Higher ethanol fuel (E15) may be less expensive than regular (E10) fuel, but putting E15 into an E10 approved vessel could cause engine and fuel system damage.
Many boaters who trailer their boats (about 90% of recreational boat owners in the U.S.) fill their boat’s gas tank and/or gasoline can when they fill up their tow vehicle. Be sure that the gas can is filled only with E10 fuel. This will require a change of procedure when you fill up the new Silverado or Tundra truck, and then automatically top-up the tank for the wakeboard boat or fill the gas can for the Evinrude.

Great design on the enclosed fly bridge. Classy

I think there is less worry now about not being able to find non-ethanol fuel.

1) This issue is well known now even to those not involved in boating.
2) The anticipated decrease in regulations under the Trump administration should not lead to any more of a push to increase ethanol content.

And for this particular boat, the tanks should not be suceptible to degradation due to ethanol because it was built after mid 1986 when Hatteras says they switched resins. I don't think even 20% would be an issue for those tanks, but the engines may need modifications if it were to get that high. All probably irrelevant.

I have, for instance, all fiberglass tanks and lines at our gas station and all are rated to accept E85. With the right resin, there is no problem. This is one of the good boats in that respect.

Lowering price to $45,000.

Will try not to abuse potential buyers. LOL

I meant to say lowering price to $42,500

Sorry

Now you're getting it! LOL

That's a great price on that boat, I mean the newest newer price.

 

[roundIII]

Sold today.

 

[Fish Tales]

Was this a "good day" or a "sad day"?

Every boat I have ever sold, was like losing a friend. I have always put heart and soul into the ownership thinking I would keep her forever. Letting go has never been easy on me.

Hope the new owner appreciates your commitment to preservation and maintaining a classic brand.

Boat safe, have a great week,
Tim
