DC.... Thnx, it's been 10 months in the making. Last upgrade is in the works. Master headboard ( pillows to ceiling ) are going to be 4 beveled mirror panels, move light sconces & Bose speakers, hope it turns out the way I envisioned...too many other system upgrades and refinements to list.....
 
Cruz'n, That is one nice boat. Alot of pictures when you get done please. JC
 
BG... Thnx, it's been killing me to be " on the hard " during the season, but it was time to go from bow to stern, top to bottom. Searay knows me well and perhaps due to being the original purchaser of this 60 DA, I have NEVER been treated with such respect and cooperation. They have rolled out the RED CARPET ( EVERY ) time I've presented an issue to them. Many owners/ capts give me the " deer in the headlight look " when I tell them some of the " over the top " stories of cooperate loyalty to their customers !! I've considered larger boats, cause .....I love to entertain..., but I like the flexibility to operate this boat/size by myself ( not all the time :grin: ) !!! Tim
 
Amazing machine. I had the pleasure of boarding one at our local dealer's private boat show. Your engine compartment is Heaven.
 
This 60 DA is hull # 9 (2007) and I've seen the model changes through plant tours over the years. Searay has done a wonderful job in implementing modifications that attract the future purchasers. As of 2013, that's it for this model, personally, I like the traditional profile of the 6 large windows verses that Euro sweep look... But I'm not in marketing.... Tim
 
Son, that is one helluva boat.
 
That waterline paint issue was from the " get go " Searay has always picked the tab for painting on haul outs. I said let's fix it right and blast to Gelcoat and rebuild from there. From what I can tell/ feel it appears bulletproof. No more patch work look or feel...
 
Wow! That bottom looks perfect! Will you be launching her yet this season or wait till next year. Or launch and head south? Awesome boat classic lines I can only imagine the ride underway.

Take Care!
 
Algeria , Thnx,I'll be following the sun/temps in Dec. I am always the clean up guy heading South. Like to stay on the BAY for family events, then party South for the winter !! I have 4 beautiful children scattered across the country and that takes priority over my boat schedule south, but Dec is dept time. I hope to splash in 7-10 days. Because I've opened, serviced or replenished every system, I know I'll have some tweaking to do... Tim
