The everything black exterior was somewhat shocking to me and I don't really care much for it (maybe it's just the photos not conveying it to me). I can't imagine having that color boat here in coastal Louisiana in August, the thing must be a solar powered craw-fish boiler inside.
Some of the interior aspects are great, others I really don't care much for either.
I guess I'm just an old stick in the mud traditionalist when it comes to classic yachts, especially Hatteras.
A TON of money went into that boat and it shows. If the outcome pleased the owner, so be it, that's all that matters. To each his own, I always feel.
Just my cent and a half, for what's it's worth.
By the way, I've been viewing many vessel photos here on this forum for ideas with my restoration and every owner has made terrific upgrades and great updates.
Hope no one gets perturbed if I steal some of those ideas.
Be safe, well and happy voyages.

P.S.,
I dodged another bullet this season (Hurricane Delta just struck to the west of me).
My prayers for those who were not so fortunate.

We have all seen the trend of new hull colors change from the traditional off white to Yellow, powder blue and sea foam green. Those I think we can agree are beautiful and classy. Black would be so difficult to keep spot/dirt free, way way to hot inside on sunny warm days. You would have to have a crew cleaning it weekly just to stay on top of it. The interior has some well decorated rooms and you can tell they poured their life savings into it. Just not my Color scheme.
