c0smo kram3r Posted February 9, 2009 Report Posted February 9, 2009 That's nice. My friend's grandparents own a '65 Hatteras. I prefer Hatteras boats over any other sport fisher/convertible. They can take the seas like no other. But that's a good price on the boat. I was expecting more like 8mil. I don't know if you guys ever heard of the Bay Point Invitational? It's like a HUGE bill fish tournament in Panama City w/ like a $10k entry fee. We go to it every year & about two years ago, a '35 Carolina Classic (also REALLY good boat, made for the water) won it by showing up about 70ft & 80ft boats. It was pretty funny.

Plus Hatteras's can take the seas WELL. They are by far the best non-custom boat manufacture. I've been out with my friend on it plenty of times in 6 & 8. Of course you can tell b/c it's only a '65 but still, it handled it like a champ. I mean hell, my friend's '28 Carolina Classic can take 6ft & it's only an express. It's still a nice boat though but I wouldn't want one that big just b/c of getting in & out of harbors. That would be EXTREMELY HARD to get in & out of Destin Harbor. I would let very few captains operate it.But I hate going out in yachts for blue water fishing. It takes well over 4 hours to get out like 50mi. Plus, paying 15k+ to fill it up doesn't fill too good either. Now bottom fishing, it's one of the easiest things to hold it over the site. We own a '38 Fountain Center console. Let's just say, that's the fastest boat I've ever been on.

Ram Posted February 10, 2009 Report Posted February 10, 2009 Could you possibly be any more full of shit? I doubt the founder of Hatteras was in his 20s-30s... technically...it could be true. Hatteras Yachts was founded in High Point, North Carolina by Willis Slane in 1959. The firm is notable because, breaking with tradition, Slane chose to build his boats out of the then revolutionary material of fiberglass. Hatteras now specialises in sportfishing convertibles and motoryachts up to 100 feet (30 metres) in length. Hatteras was one of the original users of fiberglass to build boat hulls in the 1960s due to the need of the founders to have a fishing boat capable of withstanding the frequently severe waves created around Cape Hatteras near New Bern, NC. Their first boats were excellent and they decided to create a company to build and sell these solid fiberglass hull boats. As their product line expanded in size and complexity, they continued to use only solid fiberglass for the underwater portion of the hull, not jumping on the bandwagon of cored sandwich fiberglass, used by many boat manufacturers today, Hatteras hulls have not de-laminated causing dangerous conditions or expensive repairs for their owners. As a result, Hatteras continues to be a much heavier boat than many boats currently on the market, though the original construction technique is proven to provide better quality and waterproofing.Many of Hatteras' boats produced for the first 25 years of the company's existence were designed by the famous American marine architect, Jack Hargrave. Many traditionalists consider the Hargrave-designed Hatteras boats to be American Classics.
