Hatteras Model
36' CONVERTIBLE-Series I (1969 -1977)
In my email inbox is a group of listings from Bluewater in Hampton, VA. It includes a 45C that may be of interest here- repowered with Cummins 450Cs, some updates. Asking around 57K. Appears to be a decent and tidy boat although (obviously) dated. But the engine room appears clean and for someone looking to get into a mid-size Hatteras convertible, this might be worth checking out. I don't know what the performance is like- this is about the same power and torque as the original 8-71s, but with a considerable savings in overall weight, so it may be somewhat quicker.

I don't know the owner, I don't know the broker, and I've never seen the boat itself. Nor do I have a dog in this hunt. But I thought it was an interesting listing, hence the posting here.
 
If pictures are current, it looks pretty good and low hours on the Cummins. Big drop from $123k to $57k.
 
It looks like it had some changes by Dave Hurley,the bridge for sure.
They used to be refered to as " A Hurley Hatteras ".
 
I get the same Bluewater email and this boat caught my eye too.

BTW, for all you 45c Series II (?) hunters, there's an interesting CAT C9 repowered 1986 listed as a 43, so it might not come up in searches.

Seems like lot of boat for the money and a benchmark for trying to fix one of these up although it doesn't appear to be completely redone. Looks like a fish boat.

About all the engine room photos tell you is that the boat HAS an engine room. If I had that boat listed, I'd suggest the broker go back and reshoot some of those pictures. Oh, and delete the one cribbed from the Hatteras brochure. Tacky.

I don't know how this boat performs with C9s- no hp rating or performance figures. A bit suspect, I'd say.
 
Engine hours, 447 and 646. Hmmmmm Almost sounds like one motor was replaced/rebuilt.

Probably because the ER is a mess. Look at the pics in the listing, there's plenty not right there. Look at the gap where the exhaust passes through the aft bulkhead. There should be a flange there and the hose should be supported. There's plenty of other questionable items if you look closely. As for the brochure photo, it's not even the right model! That's a post '87 45C. Not a fan of the C9's but they should provide slightly better speed than the 6V92's did. Typical HP would be in the 500-535HP range

Almost every boat I've seen with 1200HP MANs had one engine with considerably less hours than the other. Every time it was due to a major failure and one engine needing to be replaced.
 
Which thread, Krush, I can't find it.... see if you can refresh my memory a bit. Esp since I worked nights last night :)
