I think you started this ambitious project with a very worthy yacht…built back in the day when fiberglass hulls were totally overbuilt because we didn’t know what they could withstand…i don’t care what marine architects say…i say that there is no replacement for displacement… this yacht is going to part the seas like moses!…
73⁰ in mid February, and wearing long pants and sweaters 🤯 Florida just does not compute to this Canadian. Last February it got so cold in my city that every parts store sold out of car batteries. It took me 3 hours to get mine and my wife's cars going between heading outside with a booster pack, making a few start attempts until I was starting to risk serious frostbite, then running back into the house to warn up. But today with a calm breeze, 65⁰ and beautiful fall colors, I think today I might be better off in the northern prairies than in Florida! Hope y'all make it through the next week alright!
No air intakes cut out yet. Still debating the design on those. Ditching the center tank for more engine room space. Building back the forward tank with extra capacity to make up for what’s lost in the engine room
Captian, with out prying into your Financial business to much. Would you be able to tell us views how much a working Boat yard fee per year is on a Vessel like the Hatteras ?
I was getting hooked up around 2500$ a month. Then the yard switched ownership and the fees went to about 7k a month. Kinda why we switched rythem to get it float-able so we could avoid the yard fees with it back behind my residence
@@Onpointcustommarine At those prices a large project that will take a long period of time is unsustainable . The math will longer let these restoration projects happen. At least in the Marina’s close to water😢
I love seeing these older boats being restored. Looks great so far.
Thank you! Still lots more to come!
I love the approach angle of the bow and the full v to the stern. Its gonna ride amazing.
Boats come a long way Terry
Thanks Rob. Need to get with you for the lightning when the time comes!
Looking good terry
Can’t wait to see the interior! 😮
Tight work sir 🫡

That was my thoughts when taking this hull on
and when you get back to the dock from a day on the seas dragging baits, your crew will not be beat up like many others …
Man ,you got a long way to go ! Good luck you have a great start!

Where are the other two fuel tanks and where are the air intakes for the engine room?
No air intakes cut out yet. Still debating the design on those. Ditching the center tank for more engine room space. Building back the forward tank with extra capacity to make up for what’s lost in the engine room
