OK, so-- what makes a Hatteras so special?


The firstest and bestest with a distinctive design (Carolina bow flare
and a very slight tumble home at the stern) built of the finest
materials by real craftsmen. *They were built for the tough waters of
North Carolina and developed a reputation for being a great fishing
machine, smooth riding and very stable boats.

They used to make smaller versions, but now they start at 55 foot I
think - their first boat was a 41 footer.

Always wanted one - never owned one.


COOL!

And thanks guys.

Now I suppose something lse I was thinking of was that I wonder why
nobody really tried to push for their market.

"Lincoln v. Caddie" type idea.

Or did somebody try to topple them but decided that the money was
actually in the masses?
