Tour of Our Hatteras 58 Motor Yacht - 2023 Edition

It has been 6 years since we last gave a tour of our yacht and a lot has changed. Join us for a tour and we will show you how we made her our home on the water.

[@tomvansoelen6557]

Great boat for age! So well cared for. I would love living on the water, its just that im not handy to fix things. And the cost! U are blessed.

[@rogerhansen-gz6ru]

very nice upgrades , wish they still made these classics i was in new bern on a monthly basis great memories

[@williamratcliff31]

Wow it would take me forever to learn how to appropriate that boat. Its beautiful

[@mikeh7256]

That was a lot! First of all, thank you for the time you take to show us about your travels and how you live. We have a home on the ICW in the Elizabeth City area and just bought an Aquila 32 sport. Nothing like your boat as far as capability, but it will make for some wonderful memories on the ICW. I didn't read through all of your comments so I don't know if anybody mentioned anything about your tiles for your master head. Having done a lot of bathrooms and kitchens in homes, I can only recommend against doing anything that has hard to clean divots or grout. Go smooth all the way. You'll never regret it.

Your enclosed fly bridge is the best feature of your boat. So convenient and comfort level goes way up! No one else has one.

I can’t believe we’ve been watching you guys for six years already! Seems like it’s only been 2 or 3! Love watching your travels. As more of a beginner, makes me feel like I can figure this all out too. 😊

[@tryingnottosink9107]

That is awesome!

[@bikersoncall]

Beautiful Yacht. The best systems walkthrough that I've seen, it is mind boggling to me how much and varied the equipment is that goes into making it all work. 32dc, 120 and 220ac, many ac units, water filters, strainers, engines, transmissions, props, turbos, water makers, stabilizers, gensets, battery banks, navigation systems, charts, chart plotters, auto pilot, communication, sound, entertainment systems, depth alarms, fish finders, zinc monitors, anchor systems, windlass, hull cleaning..... and this roster being just a tiny part of the overall task of yacht maintenance.

[@tryingnottosink9107]

It is also why yachts are so expensive!

[@bikersoncall]

@@tryingnottosink9107 I guess so. Good thing yours is large enough that you have room to move around fairly freely, and maintain things. The shot of the exterior at 00:14 is stunning.

[@kevbjork1]

Very nice boat and I love the looks of that era of boat. My boat is a '78 Prairie 36 designed by Jack Hargrave who designed many of that era Hatteras' probably including your boat. All the newer boats look like tennis shoes to me. LOL!

[@tryingnottosink9107]

Yes, ours was designed by Hargrave as well. We love flush deck boats. Cheers!

[@lorid548]

Great video. Love the full tour and seeing all the systems in detail.

[@tryingnottosink9107]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@karaDee2363]

Thanks for the tour, which now I'm exhausted after seeing all the storage and systems on the boat, which should give people an idea of what's involved when you get into this size boat and why they cost so much to own and maintain all that. But I love the boat! Wishing you both a very Merry Christmas and Happy New Year! 🍾🥂🍸🍹🍸

[@tryingnottosink9107]

Thanks for watching. Merry CHristmas!

[@scimi7994]

Wow, so many subtle changes, she is soo much more livable. Beautiful, love the updates/upgrades. Best wishes for Christmas and New Year to you both ❤

[@jjasonsingleton]

Thank you for the tour of your boat, it is beautiful. A few years ago I was looking to buy a larger boat and found your channel while looking up information on Hatteras yachts. Your information had a big influence on me and I ended up buying a 1967 50' Hatteras. I still have plenty to work on now, it's a boat, but you have given me some great ideas on some of the upgrades that I'd like to get done in the next couple of years. Thank you for all of the info that you have shared over the past several years.

[@tryingnottosink9107]

Our pleasure! Congratulations on your new-to-you Hatteras!

[@endlesssummer426]

You sure have a very nice boat, which has tons of space. Only 9' longer than ours, but it looks like your boat is twice the size. Love what you did with the added on bar top and the additional salon space. The enclosed fly bridge is something we are looking at this moment. During summer not necessary, but in the spring and autumn or even winter months it would make our life a lot more comfortable. Thanks for the tour. 👍

[@tryingnottosink9107]

Beautiful yacht. I’ve been watching you for some time. I’m envious of your boat but I would have preferred to not listen to loud background music. To me it would have much more enjoyable without it. Keep up the good work on your videos.

[@tryingnottosink9107]

Thanks 👍

[@baz4x4r]

Great video. Totally agree about the music, very distracting.

[@hunyesmith03]

Yeah, also agree. It’s like the kinda music you get on like a hotel room TV - Okay for short clips or B-roll but not a 45min video.

[@BoycottChinaa]

I've been watching, too... I've been watching YOU

[@colormesarge]

Disagree with the above. You can't please everyone

[@susanperry5428]

Wow, what ah boat huh...love watching all your videos... hopefully soon we will be back out on the water with you...:)

[@tryingnottosink9107]

Thanks. Cheers!

[@WillFastie]

A great tour. The boat is so livable, but it's is also so lived in, so full of life. So many other boat tours are sterile, making it hard to know how it would be to actually live there. Kudos for the tour, and Try Not to Sink!

[@tryingnottosink9107]

Thanks. We agree!

[@golfer7210]

79 I was 11 years old. That boat was probably built in my hometown High Point NC. My mother would always drive by the plant I used to imagine where those boats were headed and the adventures they would have . I’m not sure when they closed the plant but Hatteras Yachts is a childhood memory for me.

[@tryingnottosink9107]

Perhaps you saw the boat when it was brand new!

[@AlbuquerqueImaging]

Thanks for the tour. Still Love Her glad to see you taking good care. Would have like to see the two brass instruments upstairs- barometer/clock probably. I came aboard about the 8V71's and you are treating them well, Port is tierder than Starboard. I recall an exhaust issue quickly repaired and would have liked to hear the fuel filter saga again. I thought you actually had it you just did not know why or something. No matter! go change the oil!!!!

[@tryingnottosink9107]

We are doing some minor repairs in the starboard engine room, so we chose to show the port.

[@scottcol23]

That is a beautiful old Hattie! I spent part of a summer on a 1977 53' Hatteras that was very similar to yours. They are great yachts.

[@tryingnottosink9107]

Very cool! The 53s are very much like out boat.

[@doncritzer2798]

Pretty sure I want an older 50 hatteras, I've been looking at them, I plan on selling my boat in Florida few months

[@tryingnottosink9107]

Good luck!

that old control panel was for chart printing of harbors from different sources. you have inspired me to want to play guitar on the various boardwalks you are always visiting

[@tryingnottosink9107]

There is a lot of fun spots to choose from. Good Luck!

[@sreed8570]

The trade-off of the outside walkways is well worth it for a liveaboard. My wife and I are about to close on the sale of our land based res, and will be looking for something very similar. Thank you for taking the time to show and explain everything as you have, may your journeys be blessed.

[@tryingnottosink9107]

That is awesome!

[@user-gy7yo7iu2o]

Thank you for the tour of your beautiful Hatteras, my wife and I lived on our Silverton 453 motor yacht for twenty years and they were the best times of our lives. I truly enjoy your videos so keep up the great work. Captain one question for you when you gave the tour where is your EPIRB ? ❤❤❤😊

[@tryingnottosink9107]

Very cool! We have a ditch bag on the hook with the throwable life preserver. The EPIRB is in the ditch bag. We also have another one that is out of date but we keep it on the lower helm anyway.

[@bikersoncall]

The naming of the cabins and the clever names chosen is a super cool feature.

[@tryingnottosink9107]

That was Lyn's idea. She found them on Amazon I believe.

[@bikersoncall]

@@tryingnottosink9107 Cool, thanks..

[@jimmerriman6920]

Your boat always looks great Lynn and Ed. And whether you knew it at the time when you bought the yacht or not, your yacht has a lot of great features not found on the majority or mid-sized Hatteras! Happy New Year!

[@tryingnottosink9107]

Thanks 👍

[@jimhalton512]

And I generally don’t comment you’re doing a fantastic job with your boat. I’m still in the process of trying to get my wife to buy into the cruising lifestyle. That being said… The water maker that you showed in your boat tour should be run. I understand that it’s cheaper to purchase the water that you have been using because the membranes that are connected to the water maker are expensive, but you really should exercise those membranes. It will end up costing you even more if you don’t run them regularly, and flush them regularly I think you will find That, although membranes are extremely expensive if you keep up regular maintenance and regular flushing/making water, it will benefit you in the long term. Just saying I love your videos keep up the good work happy holidays and happy new year. I will have a single scotch. And toast the both of you looking forward to the next video. Sincerely, Jim.

[@tryingnottosink9107]

We were told when we bought the boat that the water maker was "pickled." Whatever that means. And that it was safe to leave it that way until we wanted to use it. Thanks for joining us on the adventure! Good luck with the wife. Happy Holidays!

It’s been another great year watching your videos, you guys are the best, and very much appreciate all the informative videos for us new boaters, I’ve learned a lo5from you! I was wondering if you could explain or possibly do a very informative video on how the inverters work? Have a great New Year!!

[@tryingnottosink9107]

We will not be back to the boat for a few months, so I can't do that now. However, I have done a few videos about the system in the past.

[@williamwebberjr8045]

Awesome update video. My wife and I are 3 seasons in plus watching new videos like this one. Few questions: 1) Hatteras 58s that we have seen only have 3 cabins with galley down - what is the actual length of your yacht? 2) have you considered solar panels & wind turbine to replace/compliment the generator? Merry Christmas.

[@tryingnottosink9107]

The 58s with a cockpit are galley down. The MYs are galley up with a forth stateroom. The length overall is 65 feet. We have two solar panels on the fly bridge roof. I did a video on it several years ago. The wind turbines are too noisy for me.

[@adttwo]

Would love to know more about your remote- read fuel gauge project. That was one of the first “you have got to be kidding me” things we discovered aboard our new-to-us ‘83 CPMY. To the commenter above asking about tablet mounts - we just purchased a HoverBar Duo from Twelve South and love it.

[@tryingnottosink9107]

I did a video on the project several years ago. Look through the "This Old Boat" play list.

[@adttwo]

Any chance it’s in a different playlist? I’ve been through every video in the “This Old Boat” playlist and I couldn’t find anything about the fuel gauge. I did notice where the gauge goes from the old one to the new one in successive videos but no mention of the actual project.

Nothing like Hatteras I have 06 50' conv Love the boat . Hatteras is always available for info . So here's the question what would you choose if you bought something else? Me I love the hatt 54 gt ..... my pick for you guys , a nice Fleming or maybe outer reef .... your turn what would it be

[@tryingnottosink9107]

We do like the Fleming, probably my second favorite, but I think I would get either a Hatteras 70 (for more room and a better layout) or a Hatteras LRC, for better range. We love Hatteras.

Thank you for showing us around your beautiful boat. Have a question. What was that electrical part in your generator room that looked like a tape player. It was white with red wires going to it. 31.06 was on the timer when you see it in the video.

[@tryingnottosink9107]

I think you are talking about a solar charger , which we use to regulate the power coming out of our port alternator when we use it to charge our lithium batteries. I did a video on it about two years ago.

[@justotorres863]

Love the boat! That is my dream retirement home. I have to ask. How limiting on your time away from the dock is refrigeration? It would seem you would need to provision frequently with only a few small refrigerators. That's probably not cheap in the Bahamas.

[@tryingnottosink9107]

When at anchor, we run the generator for air conditioning at night. That charges our 4 lithium batteries enough to run the refrigerators, etc all day. So we are never without refrigeration. We have a drawer refrigerator, a small refrigerator on the bridge and a beverage refrigerator, plus a freezer. Between them all we have a good amount of cold storage . We provision for 2 months before leaving for the Bahamas. Lots of canned and boxed foods. Every couple of weeks we stop at an island for perishables like milk, bread, fruits.

Great video. What do you do to secure the chairs,table, and countertop appliances when you go out to sea?

[@tryingnottosink9107]

If we anticipate rough seas, we lay the chairs and table down. But that is rare. Mostly we do nothing. The countertop appliances have rubber feet and rarely move. We do secure many smaller items around the boat, lock up liquor cabinets and put the bird cage on the floor. Lyn has a leaving dock routine.

Not a single video. Just the two hundred or so that we posted. They are numbered in order if that helps. It would probably be a good idea to create such a video, but would take a very long time to gather the footage together. Perhaps, someday.

[@Franklin-pc3xd]

The vessel appears to be in relatively good condition. Most of these are pretty beat up, if not totally derelict. Kind-a weird they don't take it out for a spin so we can see what it's got where it matters..

[@tryingnottosink9107]

Thanks for watching. I guess you are new to the channel. We have literally hundreds of videos of the boat on the water.

[@sartwelljl]

Thanks for the Tour - Could I ask about your laundry. Is the dryer gas or electric? Also, for the discharge from the washing machine. Does that go into a holding tank to be pumped out, or discharged overboard. If overboard, is there a special bio friendly detergent you use. Do you find that the bio friendly detergent gets clothes as clean as normal detergents. How about washing of whites and using bleaches? Do you end up doing some washing at Marina washing machines vs. the onboard washer? Thanks... I suppose you could do part of an entire episode on such dirty subjects. Thanks.

[@tryingnottosink9107]

Our washer and dryer are electric, so we only use it at dock or when the generator is on. Lyn handles laundry, and uses environmentally safe soap. I don't know what she does about bleaching whites. The only time we use a marina laundry is if we are doing something big, like a comforter.

[@sartwelljl]

Thanjs for the great answer. 🙂@@tryingnottosink9107

[@ranger3484]

Huge question. We are actively moving aboard our boat now. I see you have T-Mobile Home internet. How is that working with your moves? I know you mentioned it won’t work in the Bahamas but do you have a problem going from maybe Stuart, FL to Savannah, GA? I understood that T-Mobile was tracking that and they’ll take you off line if you move it out of your original area. Thoughts?? Very curious because I’d love to do this too.

We have used it all along the Florida coast without any issues. And we have it registered at our land house near Philadelphia. Be careful, they do not offer unlimited data at all addresses.

If you were to recommend a boat to a couple just starting out on their yacht life journey, what size boat would you recommend? And why?

[@tryingnottosink9107]

We thought our Carver 355 was a great size to start with. Easy to handle with two people and the systems are easy to understand.

Can you both dock that boat or do you need other people to help you. Gosh its so beautiful. Im jealous of ur life. Oh n how much fuel do you use n the cost from where u are to the Bahamas. Thank you for the answers

[@tryingnottosink9107]

We can dock it ourselves, as long as there are no strong cross currents, but it is easier when we have dock hands to help. We do a "cost/budget" video every year. Check them out for fuel costs, etc.

Have you ever gone to Puerto Rico? If no, could your boat make it? (boat shopping and prefer classic yacht style as opposed to something like a Nordhavn)

[@tryingnottosink9107]

We haven't but plan to in the future. Our boat has a 600 mile range.
