What’s up with this?

Not mine. My Dad and his brother built it at their boatyard. He passed away a couple of years ago. It just caught me wrong. I tried to edit my post but it wouldn’t let me. I’ll reach out to the moderator.

No need. I’m not that thin skinned and was messing with you.

Had I known there was a personal connection to anyone on the forum, I would have never commented.

Why would you put the flybridge helm all the way in the back like that?

How do you see anything in front of you unless it's 500'+ away?

The man that the boat was built for fished in open water quite a bit. The console was set back so you can see the cockpit.

I didn't know Hatteras made crew boats.

I figured the upper station location was for fishing and the original helm cables reached without mods. Shame to see people so freely criticize a boat with so much love and time invested. The hull could have just as easily wound up in a grinder. You have a wide hull with low center of gravity. This design would run really well in the northwest or Alaska. I keep coming back to it with more appreciation each time. Nice boat!
