Hello all - newish guy here. I've finally been able to update my profile to read "1998 450 Sundancer". It's being hauled home on Tuesday. Many thanks to Frank for his input along the way. We had several 450's fail survey - which was pretty disappointing, but we think we found a winner. I'll post some photos when she arrives, but she's headed into MX first for initial servicing (oil, filters, hydraulic fluid, zincs, etc). My wife and I are pretty excited. We live on the Gulf of Maine with a deep water pier in a protected harbor. By boat, we're very close to Acadia National Park, Bar Harbor, Bay of Fundy, Nova Scotia, but we're very far from everything by car. The 450 will open up many weekend options for us. August is going to be amazing! Then it's winter...ahhh Maine!
Good luck
post some pics. everyone here is always so eager to help.
I'm just curious what caused you to get several failed surveys.
i looked at one that had no maintenance for years and was kept in the water for years. the surveyor said it would still pass since it was able to move on is own.
i thought sounded sketchy
