I've slept very comfortably on it and enjoyed my time with it. Life changes regrettably force me to sell her.Current owner has had her for two years - life changes are forcing him to sell the boat.The previous owner had Chinese Cookie for 37 years and was the second owner. During that time, he oversaw the maintenance and upkeep of his beloved Hatteras.DisclaimerThe company offers the details of this vessel in good faith but cannot guarantee or warrant the accuracy of this information nor warrant the condition of the vessel.
