Restoring A Classic 1965 Hatteras
34'
|
 Deltaville
Boatyard has several note-worthy projects going on, but one of the
most notable is the refit of an old classic a 1965, 34' Hatteras.
Boatyard Owner
Keith Ruse, who is a Landing School Yacht Design graduate and is a ABYC
Certified Master Technician, is overseeing his many carpenters,
electricians, mechanics and riggers as they transform a classic
vessel into a first class express fishing yacht worthy of its
pedigree name.
Once used as a
training vessel at the prestigious Landing School in Maine, this
Hatteras has had or is in the process of having all of her systems
replaced. She has new fuel and water tanks, a new potable water
system, complete rewire for new 12v and 120v electrical systems, new
propeller shafts, new stern tubes with high-speed drip-less shaft
seals, 8D AGM batteries with a Heart Freedom 25 inverter charger,
Teleflex hydraulic steering, Bennett trim tab system, new exhaust
system with exits out each side of the boat, SeaLand, Vacuflush head
system, CruiseAir air conditioning system, dual station engine
controls with a station in the deckhouse and the other in the
cockpit.
The cockpit and
deckhouse soles, and the cockpit coaming boards are teak. The
transom screams "look at me!" with its solid teak skin covering.
Every piece of her interior has been custom trimmed and covered with
mahogany and maple.
To give her that
offshore reliability, she has been powered with twin Yanmar 4LH
diesel engines. Initial sea trials confirmed these 240 horsepower
engines will achieve 30 knots with their 2:1 reduction gears
spinning four blade 22 x 22 props. She will also comfortably cruise at
20 knots turning 2500 rpm.
Keith has chosen
to outfit this boat as a Palm Beach edition with the welcomed input
of the eventual new owner. Although originally acquired to be his
personal yacht, it looks like he will end up selling the boat. (Click
here for additional information on the sale of this vessel.)
This one-of-a-kind
refitted custom classic is rugged enough to handle the offshore waters of the
Atlantic and Chesapeake Bay with a group of avid fisherman, but also
comfortable enough for a family day sail.
Launched briefly
to test her propulsion and underwater systems, she has been hauled
to complete the finishing touches.
