Boy, if you have any doubts, stick with what you have. Been there.

Good grief I would think going from a SF to a MY would be kind of a buzz kill ?

I don't know yet whether she's available. I'm still in love... She's done right. If I choose to list her, likely in the low 3's. There isn't much of a market equivalent, and not much that I'd change if I did it all over again.

 

[Seafarer]

If your considering selling this fine vessel of yours, I would be interested in knowing what your asking price would be. Thanks.

Go to boats for sale in this sight and type in POLE PUSHER if you want a idea. You in for a shock!!

 

[rtrafford]

Yes, I think my mind is made up that it's time to move up. Tough decision to make, but it's the right one.

Owner Comments
The 53' Hatteras Convertible is a timeless, fish-raising, open water beast of a fishing yacht. There have been many of these classic boats restored...but none to this level of restoration, a project that began with an empty shell! Starting with rebuilding the engine room stringers and replacing every bulkhead with 1.5” marine plywood saturated with resin and fully glassed into place, this yacht is even stronger than Hatteras produced. She has been rebuilt very thoughtfully and tastefully without any corners being cut. Above the bulkheads the structure has been rebuilt with extensive use of Nidacore to both lower the weight as well as to lower the center of gravity. She is nimble and responsive, yet still the classic Carolina Battle Wagon. Her lines have incorporated the modernly desirable yet timeless Carolina custom yachts.....this is not your typical renovation, essentially a new vessel built with a passion for the yacht and the result. This is a completely new yacht above the wet hull surface. Interior finishes were a pursuit of minimal elegance, but the best rooms on the yacht are the bridge and cockpit. Relax in plush and spacious comfort, but don’t ever think she isn’t here to fish.

Extremely nice rebuild of a timeless classic!!
What is the fuel burn @1850 and 1950 rpm?
What size wheels are you running behind the 1.78 ratio?

 

[rtrafford]

23 and 29 gph, 30x30 Nibral 4 Blade

 

[Scope]

Was that fuel burn total or per engine?

 

[rtrafford]

Was that fuel burn total or per engine?

Per engine. It's going to be virtually the same on any 3405e800. Fuel is horsepower.

Thank you. Good luck on your next project!
