Irma claims a Classic

[M&MArmenta]

Hurricane Irma claims a 1968 Hatteras Sportfish, photos should be attached if I did it right!

 

[Glory]

Very sad!

 

[Avenger]

Umm, what model is that?

Umm, what model is that?

Nonhatteras hatteras

 

[Avenger]

Thought so. Made in, not made by.

No less tragic though. Looked like a nice boat.

 

[SeaEric]

Looks like a Egg Harbor perhaps.

 

[captddis]

It is a Pacemaker.

 

[Pete]

Based on port lights looks like a wooden hull.

I'll take the flybridge.

Correction.


Was a pacemaker.

I doubt she's salvageable.

 

[Avenger]

I'll take the flybridge.

I could have used some of those outrigger parts.

You could make a better flybridge by cutting yours up and stretching it. That one looks like it was made of plywood. Unfortunately as beautiful as the lines of some of the Carolina boats are, lot's of them look like the bridges were home made.

Sad no matter what craft it is.

tHERE IS A REASON FOR THAT.People purchase the hull one place and try to finish themselves.Some of those boats only have a head inside . Then some just have a bucket.

Saw a pic of what was clearly an older 40 something hatt MY sunken on th hook in Key largo

What always amazes me is how so many modern boats fail. They take a few hits on a piling and the hull simply crack open with very little scratching. I posted pictures of the damage I got on port side on the other thread and it s more like someone used a grinder. There are no cracks just scratching and abrading till the glass is gone.

I saw the news tonight the keys got hammered. I was showing a mariner 60 to 100 footers up side down.
Dag gone they had weeks to get the stuff out of there.There was a couple of NC boats there they flew down and brought them hone .
I can not understand of course hine sight is 50 50.
