It's been a bit of back and forth with the owner, but we came to an agreement on the boat and made a deal. The owner (now previous owner) had a local fiberglass company come out and survey the boat, he came to a similar conclusion that the port side was wet. I've talked with Dryboat and they...

I talked with the surveyor today, and he said that the moisture was so prevalent on the port side that he couldn't begin to guess where it came from. In addition to the wetness on the hull sides, there were some dings in the running surface, on chines and above the propellers that gave him...

I appreciate everyone's feedback. Frank, I talked to the surveryor, and his opinion of the boat was dependent on use. He said that if I were to approach it as a floating condo, the interior is in great condition and perfect for that use. If I were to go out there and blast through 4-5 footers...

I got the full report from the surveryor, and I'm trying to digest it. Almost all of the readings on port are bad, there are a couple that aren't great, but better, and they're closer to the rub rail. Then, only a few inches away, the meter is pegged? Is this a possible layup problem during...

I just had the survey today. I'll have the report tomorrow, but the results from the moisture meter show the entire port side, from rub rail to chine is wet. Is this possible? If it was my boat I would drill some core samples to check, but I that's probably out of the question. The surveyor...

Frank, Just got back from looking at the boat again today. The hull number is: SERP2745E595

I know it's rare, but I think the engines are original to the boat. Sea Ray's website shows the 420 diamond engines as an option on the 1995 440 Sundancers, so it seems plausible that they could have been optioned on this 1995 45. The pic below shows the nameplate from the engine with a 1995...

Hi Frank, I was hoping to get your thoughts. I understand you're the resident expert on these 450s. I'll get the hull number this weekend; I'm going back up to look at a few things canvas related on Saturday. The boat is a freshwater boat, and from the look of things in the ER it looks like...

Hi All, I've been lurking on these forums for years and finally registered. I am a current owner of a 1988 30 Sundancer which I've had for the last 10 years, and I'm thinking about moving up. We're starting to outgrow our 30 on boat trips and I came across a 1995 450. I know the production run...
