Owners Comments and Boat History
I've owned the boat for the last two years, it has been great fun taking her out fishing or to Buck Island. 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.
