Since there are a lot of 410 owners here, and 410 is in the running, what other models did you consider when shopping for your 410? What are your thoughts and what can you tell me about the 410? Thanks again for everyone's help

We looked at 450's and 460's at the same time. At 6' 2" +, I can't stand at the helm of the 450's I looked at and the 460 is great but we were able to get such a good deal on the 410 it sealed the deal. We think the 410 is the perfect size for us with the 2 heads, stand up shower and diesels we are happy as can be. The 460 is a lot of boat and if we spent more time in blue water, that would be something I would look into. The only thing Sea Ray got wrong is storage in the cockpit. If there was storage under the seats in the back it would be perfect!

Russ, As Dom mentioned... You can also stay a my house in Toms River, and keep your boat here as well.... I owe you for your hospitality at Block Island.... If you like I can go with you to look at the boat... As far as a surveyor, Contact Brian at Dillon's Creel Marina, http://www.dillonscreekmarina.net/ He is very honest, owns a Sea Ray, and has many Sea Rays at his marina...

Thanks Rod, that's really nice of you but you owe me nothing. We had a great time in Block, you have a wonderful family. I will certainly call you (and Alex!) if I end up down there.

Thanks for the insight Ken. I'm 6'1" and have the same problem in my 370 but I just widen my stance and have never had an issue, I'm usually sitting down. I was in a 450 the other day and it was the same. I have a feeling your right about the 410 but I am having a hard time looking at them when I can get so much more boat for the money. Granted a bit older but other than style updates it has very little impact for me. Jury is still out but just like you the deal will make the difference.

When we rafted up with you in block, we felt like a tender tied up to your 37.
We will be reduced to dingy status next year....

I'd consider buying the thing without the repairs being completed - and that would save you a bit of stress, Russ - Let me know, I'm always looking for a new project.
Would anyone be interested in a restored 340??? It's in decent shape...

Restored is an understatement... Your boat is better than new... much better... Its the fastest 340 with inboards on the water... We went 40 knots when you were at Montawk last year...
