Russ Calasant said:
Too bad, I was looking and there was another looking as well but I believe he has a contract. Any experience you can share with the 460? Take a look at the 480 thread.

Nothing off the top of my head. Ive had her for about year and a half, the only problems Ive had have been with the damn uline ice maker and pod drive. I wish I could say I fixed them with some tinkering of my own, but I cant lol.

I own one, currently looking for an upgrade though. Been looking in to 480's at least 2007 or up.

Good luck with your salem the 460DA market has been pretty good lately. Has yours always been fresh water?

I do have a contract on a 460DA but it won't be coming out of storage for a while. Transportation from OK to TX would be alot better than what I'm facing

What's wrong with the ice maker? Your boat has pods??
 
Russ, when are you going to make your run home? Also did you get any info on mounting flat screen on salon wall?
 
Hey john, that's funny I was just wondering how you were making out. Fuel is being delivered tomorrow, maintenance next Wednesday and we leave Friday. No, I didn't really, I'm not sure I'm going to be in a hurry to do that mod. I am adding sat right away and putting one on the cockpit but I never did upgrade the tvs in my 370 cabin. For the amount of time spent watching tv in the cabin I kind of liked leaving the original look. this boat being bigger maybe that will change. What's going on with yours?
 
Russ, Had survey on sat. next step is to have chuck check cummins. I will pay the price if all works out. Boat looks great. Sea trial went good only
little items to have fixed.

I agree with Russ that you may not need it, but it may be cheaper to replace it than to repair the screw holes that will be left behind.
 
Thinking of switching out the u-line ice maker for a refrigerator is there a model that will fit opening. I think this may have asked before.
 
I'm pretty sure there is, I'm trying to decide the same but mine has nothing but a hole. It was not plumbed for an ice maker which I thought was strange. The owners manual is there and the PO said he took one out but there is n plumbing. My 370 had a freezer and that was pretty handy for blocks and storing ice but I'm not sure a fridge will help. There is a good size fridge in the salon. I cant decide but I'm putting something in there, the PO conceded the funds :)
 
I am now the new owner of a 2001 460DA Signed the papers at Marine Max today will have delivery on April 14th
Looking forward to a good summer full of new adventures.
Russ,How did the trip home go for you? Hope all went according to your plans.

Congrats, you will love that boat! If you don't, we'll that's a personal issue...

You best be posting some great pics of your season on the new 460!
 
Congrats John! That's great. Yes, everything went well. There were a lot of great times in a relatively short time. Two friends from my dock came along and several friends from CSR joined to support and partake in a crazy 3 day cruise NJ/NY/CT rolling party.
 
There are two fresh water pumps in the engine room. On the salon panel they are labeled pump one and two. Does anyone know what the pumps feed? My pump two runs constant and when I shut it off I can't find any water that dose not work. Hmmmmm
