Hatteras 55 Cummins Powered

Does anyone know of this boat? Seems way underpowered but two new motors and two new gens in 2005 makes me curious.

The listing has some ambitious fuel suggestions, both before and/or after?!

That boat has been for sale in Baltimore for at least 6 years. Maybe it finally sold and is back on the market but either way she's always for sale. Definitely underpowered. There were a number of issues with the repower such as shallow reduction gears for this set up and way more than half the weight reduction compared to the old power. She's a good ICW cruiser but I heard she was tender offshore with anything other than full fuel and water. Some added ballast could help her but she'll always be underpowered as we're all the early 55Cs with the 650HP 12V71TIs

Same boat right .. http://baltimore.craigslist.org/bod/5485579724.html

I think the owner was posting here for a while too. Broker friend there had the listing briefly, not sure what happened.
