I have a 48 Hatteras LRC and have been doing extensive refit for three years
and the more I do the more I appreciate how well she was built. I meet a
gentlemen in 2002 that spent over $800,000 rebuilding a 48LRC and as I had
just bought mine, I had to ask him how he could justify spending that much
$$$ on a rebuild, (granted the boat looked like a new yacht, most systems
replaced, but he keep the 453D.D.) he looked at me and said " the hull son,
the hull" and I guess that is as good a place as there is to start when
considering a boat. I believe the 48LRC are worthy of complete upgrades.
They were hand laid fiberglass, full keel, will right themselves, and the
current design/layout of the best Trawlers of equal size built today are
nearly the same. I have rebedded windows to putting new water chilled A.C.,
the more I work on her the more I like what I see. I visited the factory a
year ago and they do care. I can call today and they will help me on any
issue concerning my boat. Good Luck.

I've had a 1970 53 MY for two years now, very well built boat... i think the
LRCs are even better.
balsa cored decks coudl be an issue if hardware wasn't attached correctly,
but i think that's probably true of most boats anyway...
the fiberglass tanks (water and fuel) are a big plus... one less thing to
worry about. the rest of the systems are well designed too.
I love my DDs... 8V71Ns. yes they're alittle noisy and leak a little more
than most diesels but they are simple engines. if you need to change the
fuel filters, you just need to reprime the system, no complicated bleeding.
the LRCs had smaller engines but naturals too for simplicity and thousands
of hours between rebuilds... mine barely smoke on a cold start.. a short
puff from stbd engine, nothing on the port engine.
