Over the years the Hinckley Company has developed a wonderful brand and clearly distinguished itself within the boating community. Their power line consists of multiple boats that are between 44 and 55 feet in length. Many of the Hinckleys that are now being sold on the brokerage market may be purchased at rates that are currently more cost-effective when compared to when they were brand new.
The product’s name brand, its attractiveness to a certain level of consumer, the quality of construction, and the overall classic look have all retained their appeal to a certain sector of the market. Because of this, these boats are seldom offered for sale at low costs, however, instances of this brand do sometimes come up for trading at prices that put them within reach of the value buyer.
Typically, the reason for this is the circumstances under which the seller is selling the item. Nevertheless, if you’re interested in boats that are similar to the Hinckley, the following is a list of possibilities for you to take into consideration.

She is supported by a Hunt-designed modified deep-V hull, which enables her to travel at high speeds while offering an extraordinary level of open-water comfort.
The magnificent teak workmanship seen throughout her cabin is unrivaled. The Eastbay’s almost ideal use of space results in a sizable cockpit, a roomy helm deck, a sizable salon (in the SX version), and a galley below, along with two cabins and a big head with a stall shower. All of these areas are accessible from the cockpit. Because of her adaptability, she is well suited for day sailing, weekend getaways, or long cruising with a family or a couple.
Because there is no hatch, the salon and the helm are both exposed to the lower deck as of the year 2006. Yanmar 440hp diesels travel at 24–25 knots (high 20s top). The addition of a fish box and a hardtop has been a popular choice. The engine box in the cockpit may be utilized as a seating area., and the hull of the Fortier is completely cored.
