For the full written captain’s report and more about the Hatteras - Why So Expensive? video, go to: www.boattest.com/review/hatteras/3837_factory---why-so-expensive? Captain Steve is behind the scenes at the Hatteras Yachts factory in New Bern, NC, to discuss the higher cost of a Hatteras Yacht. The fact is, there’s more that goes into a Hatteras, from many different aspects, that command a premium value for a premium yacht. For starters, there’s the resin infusion process. It’s much more involved and much more labor intensive… but the result is a lighter boat with more strength. We’ll also discuss how the factory maintains the quality control that makes the boats so well regarded with respects to their fit and finish.
