Just a note to anyone who is thinking about our 450 and is concerned with financing I can give you info of a reputable marine lending company thats pretty good and has great rates.

Thank you,
Tommy

Good looking boat! I'm back in the market and have been looking. Do you know what year they raised the arch? On the 370DA it was 1998. I'm 6'3 and the lower arch is an issue for me at the helm. Yours looks to have the lower arch.

 

[fwebster]

The 450DA arch didn't change. The arch is at the back of the seat so the arch height shouldn't be a concern. The front top has adjustable bows so you can adjust the clearance under the top as long as there is enough fabric to do so. At the worst, you might have to have the front top remade to accommodate running the boat standing up.

I know this boat and you will most likely not find a cleaner or better maintained 450DA for sale.

I had no idea that the stbd galley layout and light maple were available in '97. If I had stumbled across this boat, I'd have assumed she was a later model.

Very "cool mod" with the mid-cabin icemaker! It looks like a shot from a brochure.

 

[endless seas]

Yes the Maple was a limited option for a short time and the ice -maker is really cool.Between the the cockpit ice-maker and the inside I can make just under 50 lbs per day ( how cool is that)?
Heck if it was crushed I could make a small snow man lol.

From one Baltimore/Chespeake boater to another, I wish you the best of luck. If I were in the market, I'd def consider this boat --- great looking boat! Cheers, Tim.

 

[endless seas]

just curious, why did the price drop $10,000. when you listed it with the broker?

 

[endless seas]

Just making the deal that much better.Thats as low as we are willing to go and I am NOT giving away this boat in the pristine condition that its in.At this price I will sell the dinghy separate.
The 1700.00 davits and winch system stay with the boat.
Here is the difference: you pay 100K and it needs 20,30,40k just to get her right.You buy ours and its all done (turn key)!
I just had the bottom done and new rudder packing this week.Bottom is solid as a rock and she gets splashed on Friday.
Best part was: the mechanic said (as soon as a potential new buyer sees the engine room the deal is done my gosh you can eat off the floor).
I made him use my drop cloth as not to scratch the diamond plate!

Thanks for the questions,
Tommy

Tom, Your 450DA is going to make some one a great boat. Your price point is good and I believe sooner rather than later it will be prized/loved by a very happy and fortunate new owner. Good luck,
JC

Great looking boat. From the pictures, it is obvious she was well cared for.

 

[endless seas]

Hello fellow boaters,
It seems we have had over 2200 lookers and am surprised why we don't get more questions about her.
Is it to big,is it in to good of condition,price to high,location?Might it be going into winter thats a concern?
Feel free to contact me.

Thank you,
Tom

Tommy,
You'll sell her but it's going to take some time. When I was shopping for a bigger boat, I looked at hundreds of boats ---- literally. As I said, if I hadn't upgraded already, i'd consider yours. I'm loving my Formula and it was a big upgrade coming from the 330DA.

Cheers,
Tim
