Hull #1, 50' Motoryacht 1964 "HOPE"

It has to be a labor of love. If you Calculate your time at 1/4 your earning potential you will find it still is extremely expensive.

Agreed Scott but like other hobby's you can't put a price on your enjoyment. Some things can't be measured in dollars and cents. I could not do what Quintin or Yachtsmanwilly are doing or have done. I don't have the time, patience or energy....so mostly I write checks.

Hi My50Hatteras. Is there an e-mail address for interested parties to contact you? Also, please post a few current photos here.

I'm still working on getting some photos. I've been very busy. My email is captainkirkkeywest@icloud.com

My50HatterasWe have the 28th 50M/Y and love it! We love the classic Hatteras style and look; and we love the life style - we sold our house, 90% of our stuff and live on board. We wouldn't trade it for he world!Just think, if your neighbors piss you off you just move the whole "house"! LOL!

Yes M&M, we love the life style. The coolest part about living aboard is the easy transition of moving. We moved 1000 miles away from home, and never packed a bag! Glad to see you got Felicity. The previous owners were great and I know they put a lot of hard work in her. FElicity was one of the ones we were looking at prior to our Hope

I am actually amazed sometimes at what these boats sell for. Have a friend that just sold there 1966 50 motor yacht without even listing it for $225,000. Yes it was nicely restored, new paint, new Windows etc but that is a lot for a 1966 boat. Sold to someone in their Marina before it even got listed. John

$225k for a 50 year old boat of any brand is impressive! Sadly that isn't the trend. Likely due to the economy, (even though the president says all is great) boat sale prices in the used market are not so good, and older boats even worse, there are exceptions, like the above.

I would point out that in 1966 many boat builders still still used wood, and there are still some awesome woodies, most are gone.

$225k the past owner must have been dedicated!

Well, the very first ever Shelby Cobra, Carroll's original #1 car, just sold for 13 million, so maybe there's hope for old boats, too. Esp #1 of a successful series. They probably made more 15-10 MYs than Shelby made Cobras...

Thanks MyHatteras50. There was also magnificent 50 in the Pacific Northwest a couple of years ago. Not sure about the selling price, but it was similarly restored to the 9s and worth every penny.
Some of you guys are missing the point. A pristine old Hatteras is worth way more. A rough old Hatteras is worth way less. Condition defines value.

The difference is a Shelby Cobra is fast, classic Hats are only found in the spectators section at races.

And the spectators will be comfortable!!

That car went to the Miller collection in Utan- he has one of the best collections of vintage Ford performance cars. Not enough water out there for a Hatteras, sadly.

Yes, they are fast. I have one. You can easily scare yourself in one. The engine tuning on mine was done by MikeP and it is QUICK.

The one that sold for $225,000 is the same one as you saw in the Pacific Northwest, that is where it was located. John

My50hatterasWith the removal of the dinet where do you eat? At the mini breakfast bar or have you set up a dining table somewhere else? Thanks

Hi,

I was wondering if you noticed any increase in noise when the carpet was replaced with wood flooring? Not sure if you run a generator, I have a 1999 52' sportdeck and we are looking at replacing the carpet with laminate. My only two concerns are an increase in noise from the generator (night-time use) and not seeing a mark on the laminate where there is a large engine room access panel in the saloon floor just above the starboard engine and generator.

It's listed!http://www.samsmarine.com/forums/showthread.php?29577-F-S......Hull-No.1......1964-50MY......-72-999

So where are the other 50MYs?

I have one! Dopamine is a 1967 50MY. She had a 9' cockpit added in the 80's and her aft deck is enclosed. Previous owners lived aboard for 33 years and took excellent care of her. She's all mine now Homeported in San Diego

Great boats! We have hull #21, live aboard in the Pacific Northwest. These boats were built like a
brick S&%t House. We cruise ours up into the Canadian Islands every summer. The 8V71's are
great engines and will probably outlive me. We cruise comfortably at 1200 - 1300 rpms and do around9 knots assuming the tides and currents are working for us. When we bought our boat 12 years ago
we thought hard and long about buying such an old boat but we are thankful we did. Our boat shows
the wear and tear of use but nothing a bit of paint and varnish won't cure. Good luck selling 'Hope'.
I'm sure you could get more than what you're asking at least up where we live.

I know it's been a while - do you happen to have more pictures? Especially of the hull extension?
