    Looking at a Hatteras with 3208 CAT 425HP (1500hrs).
    It has been disclosed as 'well maintained'.
    Will have surveys (incl Diesel).

    3208 CAT with 425HP....stay the course or RUN away?

    ...disclosed or described? Are you sure about the hp? I think most of those had 375hp which is preferable.

    'Disclosed' & described...
    425hp (aware more popular was the 375hp)

    There are probably as many of this boat for sale as any model you could choose, so you can have quite a choice and should be able to find one in excellent condition and well maintained.

    Have been told by a few that those 3208's with turbo can blow head gaskets when run at wot.
