    I love the old style yachts with there flat decks and room to do things. These Euro designs I don't care for. Does anyone still mass produce the old style?

    Are you referring to the '' Flush Deck'' style motor yacht? Like the one in your profile picture ?

    If you mean flush decks where the aft deck, salon, helm and foredeck are all one the same levels I can’t think of any being build these days until you hit 70/80+ feet. Pretty much everything up to that size has a lower aft deck whcih is more like a cockpit.

    I was meaning No Flying Bridge .
    No Bridge , then it’s a Flush Deck MY.
    I always thought.
    I does vary over the years .
    Such as Hatteras Tri-Deck MY.
    Just a Flush Deck MY with a bridge.
    Gets confusing from manufacturer to manufacturer. And a person’s personal take on the vessel.
    Lol,
    To add more confusion. Matthews called my old Matthews a deluxe sedan..but it had a fly bridge.
    Sedan use to mean no bridge.
    More of a long flat top with a cockpit.

    Now you have Wedding Cake boats , which to me sound delicious!

    A flush deck can either have or not have a FB. It’s about the main deck layout, for instance the 70s Hatteras 58 TC wasn’t a a flush deck as the main salon was down below

    hat4349, are you a CC Roamer, or a Hatteras 44? Flush Deck? Glass or Steel ? The ''hat'' is throwing me off , but your photo looks like a CC Roamer. Just wondering .

    I agree with your taste.

    I thought that was a funny looking Hatt.
    But then, I push old Bertrams.

    BTW, Carl was bragging years ago that he had disk space and storage was cheap.
    I would love to see your Roamer pictures on a new thread.
    I pushed a modified Roamer house boat for a few years.
    Please show yours off and the work on her.

    Lots more fun to work on than any silly plastic Hatt.
