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

Good design, good engineering, good construction, nicely finished.
Other than that, nothing special. * *:-)

Hatteras and Bertram both fell victim to the ill advised 10% boat
luxury tax of 1990. * It drove construction overseas for a while and
mass produced, high quality boat building in this country never fully
recovered.

Bad deal in more than just boats, but that's another story I suppose.


I see from the Brunswick website that Hatteras got sucked into their
lair about 2001, so evidently the 90's was cruel to them...
