I've got my eye on a 560DB. I'm not crazy enough to own two boats. That's where you come in. :smt001

Check out the website I made for the sale of my current boat here. You really need to see this model to appreciate it.
 
What year 560DB? I am on the list for one as well but have to wait a few years until they are ready to sell. 2002 that looks new and a covered freshwater slip! Add a picture with Rusty on her and you will sell for sure! The only thing you will miss is the stateroom.

Ken- 2000-2004. Yes I will miss the stateroom. But I will also miss the social aspects of the helm deck (how many people hid in there from the rain in AC?) and the windshield wipers. And the fact that I can access the side decks easily (all on the same level) when docking.

And yes, she is Rusty approved. She being the boat. Although Rusty approves of the Mrs. too. ;-)
Note that this picture includes the old hazy enclosure that hung down too far. New enclosure is much nicer.

I know a Turtle, but Tutke?

APPROVED....without hesitation, I offer my seal of approval for the sneaker. I will not be a fan of the boat leaving it's current ownership as I have overnighted on her more than once. But knowing the owner and his quest to go bigger, I will be happy to have any factory conversation regarding this model and of course how well it has been maintained by the Admiral.

Many memories with the great fortune of not having to stumble home, but just fall downstairs until the party started again the next day.

The 480MY is probably the best laid out vessel of her time with a master room that is equal to todays' beam to beam staterooms. The salon (or saloon on this baby) is nothing short of a living room in your house. And the design of the helm which is integrated so as to feel like you are still inside the boat is way cool..and again, one of a kind.

St. Somewhere is a great boat and was well taken care of.....I spent much time on her with my best buddy Jackson....the memories are deep and whomever gets her will own a legacy!

Wow. Thank you Captain for your ringing endorsement.

Here is a picture we took of the Captain hanging with his best buddy Jackson while donning his finest dress uniform. This was at the Atlantic City CSR gathering in 2013. We lost Jackson last summer, so this pic is special to us.

Thanks again, Captain. You're the best!

Great price! Anyone looking for a boat with lots of room and also performance to keep up with the Sundancers, check it out!
 
Boy I'll tell you what... someone is going to get themselves a great deal here.

I just sent to boat to the shop and had them do a "pre-survey" to find and fix anything that a surveyor might highlight, and then some. Props reconditioned, carrier bearing replaced (it's like a cutlass bearing but further forward), all new sea water hoses everywhere, rebuilt vacuflush pump (it wasn't broken but it was getting erratic), changed oil and zinc in genny, new zincs on QSMs, new window felt for sliding windows at helm, tracked down and fixed minor leak in windshield (gaskets were all new in 2014). Bill was $7,700.

Very few people do this kind of stuff on a boat that is for sale. I have a strong "pride in ownership" and it shows.

Tell your friends!
 
Congrats on the sale! Someone got an awesome boat! What's on the horizon for you?
