1970 Hatteras

Gotta love the olive green 70's carpet. These are wonderful Yachts and were ahead of their time.
They are truly a timeless beauty!

Let's not forgot the high end entertainment system, including and 8-Track player!
 
I could swear the guy driving looked like Thurston Howell III.
 
The video is a bit dark, but aren't those coppertone appliances, too?
 
Mine is a 1970, pretty close to that one except it has a bow pulpit. And the green shaggy carpet is long gone along with the 8 track.

These boats were overbuilt, not just the hulls but all the interior. I m doing some AC work and have to cut thru 1" thick plywood... I don't think anyone uses 1" ply anymore :)

When Hargrave designed the 50/53 and its variation, it was really a revolutionary design as nobody had done a true flush deck boat in that size range. Until then, the traditional small motoryacht always had a lower saloon.

They didn't do helicopter shots in those days. Today, no boat sales video would be complete without one.
