looking for 48 Hatteras YF I'm searching for a 48 Hatteras YF and would like to hear from anyone who either has one available or who knows of one that might be available. Otherwise, I would be interested in other quality aft cockpit yachts in the 48 through 53 range under $200,000 Thanks, jcchev Folsom, LA
Available boats We have our 53 Hatteras ED docked in a private club just east of Florence Alabama. The club is Turtle Point Yacht & Country Club. There are 2 boats for sale in the marina. One is a 53 Hatteras Yachtfish in the 1978 vintage I believe. It looks nice and has had a fair amount of work for upgrades. I am not aware of its service record. The owner lives in Florence. The other boat is a 1988 Chris Craft 501. The owner died suddenly of a heart attack at age 51. He and I were great friends and we boated together most weeks. His wife owns the boat and she is not equipped to handle the boat. When Tim bought the boat he wanted a boat that was affordable and one he could have projects. He took the survey and worked progressively on the identified issues. He and I spent a lot of time working together on each other's boat. I know this boat pretty well and feel it is in good condition. The engines are Detroit Deisels 6V92 Turbos with 550 HP. They were refit prior to his purchase and have less than 500 hours - they run like tops. He put in flo scans for the flybridge and has new ICOM radios with slaves up/down. He has a computer on board with a GPS. No radar. Good depthfinder. Bowthruster. Davit up to 600 lbs. The carpet has some stains and may need to be replaced. If I didn't already have my boat I would buy it. Let me know if you have further interest in either of these. Clarence
