Classic lines.. That boat needs to be in a slip at Hatteras Village and fished hard in the Gulf Stream, only a 20 mile run. Last weeks Blue caught by friends daughter and friends. Released

It's a Hatteras. That means it can ONLY be used in the Hatteras area. Sorry.

Oooooo! Toys!

Worst issue with this old girl is her engines. Extraordinarily thirsty gasoline engines.....

What about converting it to a single strait inboard "Diesel"?

Sure.... Kill the planet that much more!!!

Didn't you listen to AOC??? THE PLANET IS DYING IN 12 YEARS!!!

Gilligan needs to put Solar Panels all over it and a big center mast for wind power!!!

I was going to suggest that, but figured I'd get laughed off the forum....

That would likely depend upon color, volumn and cooking method.

Drop in a diesel or two $$$

Not possible. It's a typical twin engine modified Vee with keel boat.

That's what it needs...and what I'm hunting for.

I bet it sounds great.

Gallon of gas was 25C when this puppy was built.

As for replacing the engines. By the time you are done with two engines, fuel system and glasswork, you can burn a lot of gas.

Had to do a history check on myself... gas was 27c, premium 33c back in '72. The daily tips I got from pumping gas at Hess filled my gas tank.

I've got a nice little 5-cylinder Volkswagon Pathfinder diesel I'll sell you. Then all you'll need to find a second.

Blasphemy to put a sailboat engine in a key turner.
Better to put 3 outboards on the transom....

This one of those boats where a 2 hour cruise eats up 300 dollars of fuel?
