the '03-'05 420 is the '06-up 44da, all they did was cut windows in the sides some of the early 420s did not have hardtops - totally different boats from the early 400/410 and 450DAs
Thanks. Quite the asking price difference between an 04 420 and an 07 44 DA!!
There are a handful of other changes as well, mainly in the galley, all of which add storage.
Most 03 and 04's did not have hardtops, big difference in cost and value in that one option.
Yes, I was told there was a $40K swing in value of like boats one with hardtop vs one without.

Ya, sizewise they're the same to the inch according to SR boat specs.Now that I think about it there was an 07 44 and an 05 42 on the same dock this weekend. It seemed to me like the 44 was significantly bigger. I'm sure the extended swim platform help with making the 44 look bigger.
They are the exact same hull sans the bigger hull-side windows. It was/is very typical of Sea Ray. They did it to the 390/40 Dancer, 390/40 Motor Yacht, the 420/44 Sedan Bridge, 48/50 DA, etc., this list goes on and on and on.....
Jay, do you miss the split windshield? I wanted the 48 but I’m not a fan of fully enclosed windshield. I’ve considered upgrading to the 52 instead for that reason alone…Well, it's the end of an era and the beginning of a new one. As of yesterday, we no longer own our beloved 2004 420. However, we are now the proud owners of a 2006 48 Sundancer. We are very much looking forward to the new adventure.
Thanks to all on this thread that have taught me so much over the past 5 years. You know who you are! I am going to miss all of the upgrades that I put into the 420, but I can look forward to new projects on the 48.
This isn't good-bye....I'll still be here!
