Is there a source for boat specifications?

[Steps Ahead]

I am looking for a source of information - mostly for my personal interest - on specifications such as displacement and waterline length.

Would any certification organizations have such specifications available?

I already contacted Sea Ray Customer Support and received some great additional information regarding 1) potential performance and fuel consumption, 2) OEM prop and shaft dimensions, and 3) bottom paint dimensions.

The best general reference I know is the Powerboat Guide but it may not have as much detail as you want. I hav ethe 2005 or 2006 edition and would be happy to look up any boat you are interested in.

Thanks Sea Gull!

If the editions of Powerboat Guide that you have include it, I would be interested in any information that is available for the 1998-2004 450 Express Bridges. I am particularly interested in the 1998-2002 model years with the three stateroom layouts. Although the 2003-2004 model years had two stateroom layouts, the Sea Ray spec sheets indicate that each of the layouts had the same LOA (51'4") and dry weight (29,500 lbs).

Again, thanks.

[FONT='Arial','sans-serif']Unfortunately I have the electronic version of this book and it won't let me copy pages. I can tell you that they only mention the 3 stateroom layout and that the LOA and weight are as you stated. I would think the Sea Ray archives are a good resource too.[/FONT]
