Looks quite a bit different in person than in pics...

Anyone else seen it?

There are several improvements over my current 420 DB. There are also a several things I like better on mine.

Overall, it seemed like a very nice boat!
 
I've seen two - one in the water in Mia and, coincidently, one at the Miami Boat Show. I love the bridge features and layout. I hate the salon - too cheap looking. The staterooms/heads are about identical to mine. I feel like we truly got the right boat for us.
 
I like the slide-out shelves next to the fridge. Didn't like the bathrooms where the shower is next to the door. Agree on the salon, nice headroom and love the windows (that open...) but too spartan. Much prefer our dinette to the restaurant booth style.

The under floor storage was nice and the master stateroom seemed much more luxurious than ours.

The bridge seating is truly a step up from ours.

Nice boat. Maybe I can afford one in 2018 or so - once it depreciates about $500K...
 
I saw this 50' Marquis earlier this year in Orange Beach AL., and it was REAL NICE and was listed for 1.2M,

My dealer has one in stock, but they aren't selling it yet. Nice boat. I stil, like the 450 DA better, but I'm not a big fan of the sedan bridge.

In terms of price, they will go on sale. Every winter our dealer does their own boat show. Boats are usually 25-40% off list. This has been the case the past 3 shows.
