It seems that when in S. Fl last year I saw groups of "Blue-water
Battle wagons" lined up to take charter fisherman out to grab
swordfish or whatever,and it seemed that the most popular boat I saw
were mostly Cape Hatteras. Oh, several ChrisCrafts and various other
names but mostly Hat's, especially in the 55-65+ foot range.

Just from gawking around I know that a Hatteras is a very expensive
boat, and usually hold their resale higher than competitive names in
the same age and class regardless of the economy.

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

Just curious.

You mean besides the fact that Harry owned one? According to Harry,
IIRC, they don't depreciate.
