Frank,
If and when we ever cross paths, I owe you more than one of whatever your drinking.
Unfortunately, had to exceed budget with the 450 so anything bigger is out of the question. Would have gone with the 410 but Sea Ray said the 450 is the smallest boat they will install the hydraulic...
Thank you all. I am not looking at the Sedan Bridge as it is more expensive, has a higher center of gravity, and is simply extra boat we don’t need.
I did see the Boattest report. The factory has told me I must upgrade to the Zeus 480s for them to install the hydraulic swim platform. Here...
Rick, Frank, and others,
I am sure the myriad of questions are annoying, and they certainly show my ignorance. That said, they are sincere. I am not bashing Sea Ray in other forums, nor do I have 'buddies' that are. I know them no better than I know you. In fact, the comments that triggered...
Hello all. I am trying to close the deal on a new 450DA.
I am getting some flack from members in other boating forums about the 450. So, looking to you, the owners and operators.
* What is your impression of your 450s? Any problems or gripes?
* How does it handle rough seas?
* How is the...
Frank, if it sparks your interest, and if you wouldn't mind looking it over, I would be more than willing to shoot you an e-mail with details and powerpoint slides of the many customizations I have asked of Sea Ray or that I am considering.
Again, have been told you are considered somewhat of a...
Frank,
It's funny, I was referred to you through The Hull Truth website.
The criticism I have heard is primarily about Sea Ray cutting corners, doing bad wire runs that are sloppy and hard to later trace, and not doing simple things like screwing in NMEA backbones that later break because...
Damn thx. Great reply and very helpful. I know non-permanent wine coolers need ventilation to the sides back plus I am concerned about the door staying closed and bottles not breaking on the inside of the cooler.
What I didn't realize is that the cockpit fridge has wine bottle storage in it...
In accordance with my insurance policy, for a RIB/Tender to be covered, it must be permanently labeled/marked with the yachts name.
I am considering buying a Walker Bay 340 FTD. Can anyone recommend ways to permanently put the name of the yacht and registration numbers on the sides?
I am being way premature here but I am negotiating the purchase of a new 450 Sundancer. I am can't wait to get out on the water. Got a question regarding outfitting the thing tho. Is it possible to put a small wine bottle cooler in it...maybe 6-8 bottle cooler? I have a small...
I am in the process of negotiating the purchase of a new 450DA. I am trying to prepare a business case and budget, both for initial costs and revolving costs.
One thing I looked at was life rafts. I think I have settled on the Viking RescYou Pro 8-person.
That said, after looking at rafts...
Hello all. I am new to this forum. I am in the process of negotiating the purchase of a new 2013 450 Sundancer. The negotiations now center around the installation of a custom electronics suite which includes some top-of-the-line Raymarine components, and Airmar weather station, an Echo Pilot...
