Happy Easter weekend everyone. As a (soon to be) owner of a 400DB, I was curious how many of us are in an around the Chicago area, or just moored somewhere on Lake Michigan? Has there ever been a 400 meet-up? If not, maybe we can make it happen?

Has anyone replaced the curtain in the salon that covers the slider? Mine is original and looking that way. I'm looking for a more modern upgrade. What do new boats use? If you've replaced that curtain with something else, can you please post pics and give me some ideas? Thanks.

John, previous owner had a custom sized sliding fan blind made.

As a new to us owner of a 2001 400DB, I am curious on couple items:
Has anyone replaced the salon and cabin overhead lighting with LED's if so which type and model did you choose?
Looks like I need to replace my shower drains in each shower. Has anyone done that and are there any pointers in doing this?
This is a great forum. Thanks for the help.

9 LED disc back-pin G4 from MarineBeam. About $9 each. I chose Warm White. You can replace all the overhead lights, the four stateroom directional lights and the two shower lights with it.

Looks good, Bill. But you said the screen was removed to make that fit, right? We couldn't live without the screen. It's used all the time. So for our needs, maybe just need to replace the curtain with something newer.

I was full steam ahead with getting the boat ready, and then this morning we got 6" of snow. Ugh. Winter just won't go away.
 
Interior re-do / update is finally done! A few pics attached.

All the great photos of flooring updates are inspiring!

Has anyone replaced their interior carpet with new carpet? If so, how did you go about it?

For those who put down laminates, any issues caused by moisture/humidity?

Has anyone tried luxury vinyl?
 
The Plasteak flooring that a couple of us have put down is a marine product, and plastic. Unaffected by moisture and humidity. It's click and snap with nice tight joints. It's a little pricey vs. luxury vinyl, but I found it to be much easier to install. I put luxury vinyl in my last boat. It worked out fine in the end, but I found it to be a colossal mess if individual planks. Mine had to be cut to fit, set in place loose, numbered, removed, trowled down, left a few hours to set up, then pressed back in place in the right order. I wouldn't do it again. Easy on a house, but there is likely not a single piece in your boat that doesn't have to be custom cut or radiused around something. I might do it in a small express cruiser, but since you're on the 400DB thread, I know what you have in store for you. If you buy house stuff, make sure it's all vinyl or plastic and does not have masonite backer of some sort. Couple of pics of my last boat with luxury vinyl.

I did in the companionway and staterooms. I just pulled up the old carpet. It just peeled right off. Cut Infinity luxury vinyl to fit wall to wall and just set it on the floor. No gluing. It just sits there. I didn't even cutout for the hatches. It just sits on top. When I need to get in the hatches I just roll it out of the way. I did glue down the master stateroom steps. Most tedious part was making the templates first. Somewhere on this thread are pictures. Update: Here they are, this post and one about ten posts later: http://clubsearay.com/index.php?threads/40-sedan-bridge-forum.53961/page-73

Does anyone here know the original Sea Ray gel coat color on the flybridge (2003 SB400)... I have some hairline cracks and looking to fill with Magic Ezy, Evercoat or similar... any recommendations, as always much appreciated...
 
Question for the group. What were these boats going for in 2005? Say a 2002 in 2005, with diesels. Just curious how well or not, they held up in value.
 
Replacing the 17 year old fridge. For those that haven't seen what's back there, here it is. Big hole on left is access to shower plumbing fittings. Cut wire is the 12v feed to the fridge. Black thing below the two thru hulls is the cutoff valve for the salon ac cooling line.

In case anybody was wondering - in 2005, a 2002 was selling for around 350K and a new one in 2002 was selling for around 500K.
 
We did it! New (to us) 400DB Owners. Now my nerves will be wrecked until is is safely delivered from Lake Lanier to its new home in Chicago on Lake Michigan! Big shout out to everyone who took the time to answer my questions, and just taking the time to post your progress on updates, repairs, etc. True wisdom in these posts! Thank you all!
