All the wood is in incredible condition.

    Heres another one saved from the smelter... 1959 35 foot. Owner has another 1964 36 in aluminum The '59 was a wreck last year and held captive in a north Michigan barn all winter. The '64 is slated to come out next year. These are in Montague/Whitehall, Mich. This one is pretty smooth I'd say!

    Notice the transom door and gate. Have no idea what the hull numbers are. This was passed on to me by a friend with a 53 Hatteras from Whitehall.

    Wondering if I can get a list of known survivors. I have the Offshore Roamer hull 38-207 - Name is currently Steel Aweigh Too. We are the 4th owners of this 1964 38' Offshore Roamer. The owner before us also used it in the St. Lawrence River, 1000 Islands. The name of the boat was Summer Session. He was a professor at SUNY Oswego. We have named it Steel Aweigh Too. First owner last name was Trump (not Donald), Second owner, Smith, 3rd owner Shafer, 4th owner - Stewart. Of course she is for sale if anyone is interested. - 2020, still for sale.

    Wow!
    This Regal (sedan version) 35 really shines! (Need hull#).
    Now about that '6'4 Riviera (Express?) 36' you mentioned - need any further info your Hatteras friend might have -- want to add her to the "List of Known Roamers" --- copies of which are available at my email: alloyed2sea at yahoo dot com. We've found over 465 (23%) of all Roamers (Steel and Aluminium) ever produced.
    CHeers!

    Martin -
    Fabulous!
    Very much appreciate your reporting in this fine Roamer Riviera MY - which has now been added to the "List of Known Survivors" (email me at alloyed2sea AT yahoo dot com for your very own copy).
    Now about that hull number - seems a bit off. It starts right "RAA" but should then go something like this, "RAA-48-350*" . Also we need to know whether "Atlas" is crafted out of steel or aluminum and would like to learn a little bit about her history, ownership record, condition and any refits. Historical events and celebrity "on-boards" would be extra.
    In any case, great job and keep on Roamin' !!
    Cheers!
    Eric

    [PS - I'm guessing your hull# RAAA4820D9R = RAA-48-2509R, which of course would make her a 1966; but then again CC played pretty fast and loose with year designations.]

    I will double check id number. Atlas is a steel hull former Capt. was James Gregory for 26 years Home port was Tellico marina south of Knoxville, Tennessee. Before that was somewhere North and was shipped South to Tennessee.

    Great news - and great job climbing down below.
    She's been duly noted & recorded on the "List of Known Roamers" - (21) of the total of which (468) are 48' Riviera MYs. You are definitely entitled to a complete copy of the Excel spreadsheet which lists all models by year/hull#/metal/details: just email me at - alloyed2sea at yahoo dot com.

    Yes, will do.
    Know that the "R" specifies the factory of origin, which I believe in this case is CC's HQ's in Holland, Michigan: which is where most Roamers do originate, other than the really big ones from Pompano, FL where the 68s and 70s derive-red.
    Looking into Supra, and will report,..., Mr.Fowler be praised.
    Cheerio,
