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.

When I saw a Hat for the first time that was the obvious part I
noticed was the "Carolina bow flare" and that laid back "Eldorado
Caddie" look. I thought it was a beautiful design. Not only
aesthetically smart, but just as functional too.
