Hatteras profile line drawing

[43'Express]

Hello all, Just joined the forum. I have a 97' 43 express. 6v92TA Detroits. Want to find out if and where I could find a simple outline drawing of the side view profile of the boat. I want this because I'd like to make t-shirts of the boat. I've trolled around the net and haven't found anything. I was also suggested that taking a picture and using photoshop tools could produce a good image. Any suggestions would awesome thanks!

The original documents that came with the boat probably had a line drawing - at least the docs with our 53 did. If you don't have them, you can obtain all the original docs as originally supplied by Hatt for your particular boat by contacting them and supplying the hull number. It used to cost 75 bucks but even if it is more, it is one of the best things you will ever spend money on for the boat.

It will include all the system descriptions /operation with appropriate diagrams, a list of all the systems/equipment installed on that particular boat when it left Hatt, including things like the specific light bulbs and where they are used. The original paint type/code,is also listed as is the wood finishing material, etc. There will also be complete electrical schematics - large, fold-out diagrams.

Everything in the package is extremely useful when doing maintenance, especially if you do any of the work yourself.

100% what Mike said. Also contact Doug at SAM's who hosts this forum by clicking on the Deep River Traders link to the left. They make top quality products and probably have the line drawings already.

Tap on the home page. Tap on the photo of the Marlins and see if there is anything there you might like. I went to the appeal site and found nothing listed for shirts just adds. Sams did sell T-Shirts with side profile drawings. Check with Sams as mentioned above.

We just got the line drawings for our 53 motoryacht emailed to us from SAMs great service. We are having beer cozy's made right now. Seem to be the most important thing we could have made, John

Deep River Traders did custom art for me from a photo. It was amazingly affordable. They have it on file and I order new shirts each Spring.
