We're about to begin our 4th season in our 2006 44DB and cruise about 130 hours per year. The boat and engines have been great. We love it.

They do a fair amount of work on boats at our marina and everyone seems pleased. They are installing a hydraulic swim platform on my boat next month. There's a 40DA next to me and they had FBT install a bow thruster a few seasons ago and the captian was happy with the service. Bon Dia's comment...

Anyone have insight on why Sea Ray doesn't offer a hydraulic lift as an option on the 44DB (aka 420DB and 450DB)? It's available as an option on a 40DA and 44DA, but not a 44DB. I realize that you can add one after market, but am curious why Sea Ray doesn't sell this option on new boats.

A bunch of Sea Rays from the Occoquan River and Quantico Marina are headed to Solomons, MD for Patuxent River Appreciation Days. It's over the Columbus Days weekend, 10/10-10/12. The Calvert Marine Museum has free admission with lots of kids stuff, plus a craft fair, parade, all kinds of fried...

Nine boats from the Occoquan River are headed to Colonial Beach, VA.

We had boatpix fly over us last year while near Newport News, VA. I wasn't familar with them, so I was a bit skeptical of the company. One of the other captains in our floatilla ordered pictures of his boat and the quality was outstanding. I quickly contacted boatpix and ordered mine, as did...

This is our 3rd season in our 06 44DB and we love it. We cruise about 130 hours/year primarily in the Potomac River and Chesapeake Bay. I agree with jetlag that the Cummins QSC 500s are perfect to power this boat. To help the AC maintain the cabin temp, we put 90% sunshades on the side windows...

My perspective is that buying a boat is an investment in your family and leisure time, rather than an investment in your asset portfolio. I wouldn't go into the purchase with the expectation that your "investment" will appreciate. That said, with today's economy and the pressure on consumer...

As noted by others, be careful of the chlorine tablet as it could damage the plastic. Our shower drains into the sump box (aka, "nasty" box), so from time to time, I'll pour a little bleach into the shower and will let the water run for a while to flush out the box. So far, it seems to work fine.

It was great to meet everyone. This was a fantastic event. Thank you to all who were involved with coordinating the arrangements. Hope to see everyone on the water again this summer.
