My bridge sink faucet. Drain leaked too as elbow end was cracked at very end. Pipe thread tape took care of that temporarily. Will be replacing both the faucet and drain fixtures. Thanks for the thread link!
Morning I'm new to this site was wondering if you know of and web sites to buy replacement parts for a 1997 440 express bride any help would be apricated Thanks John
I happen to love the boat it’s a lot of boat for the size and the front walk through makes docking for a solo operator easy. I’m just in the market for a much larger boat.
Welcome to CSR Bill!
My hull number is 4126f899, it is powered with Cat 3126 420 hp. The boat has 750 hrs and the engines were re blocked/rebuilt under warranty due to the porous French blocks. Less than 300 hrs on engines.
Got em on order, thanks so much!
Twice over past 12 months (April & Sept), I gathered asking prices for our model around my '02 model ('01 - '04). If I throw out one highest and one lowest and average the rest, I got $208k in April, and $238k in Sept. Indeed, a number of factors affect price, not the least of which is overall condition and engine hours and what's listed at the time. Dinghy or no dinghy and electronics also affects price. Forestkk is also very correct about the all important survey and a moisture compromised hull.
On love or hate this model, besides the love for the bridge walkthrough, steps vs ladder to bridge, very little interior elevation change, a more subtle attribute is the three levels of boarding. One is step off from the swim platform. Two is use the aft corners built-in step to step onto a dock, and Three is step up to the gunnel at mid-cockpit to step onto a dock. Floating docks are typically #1. Fixed docks might be #2or3. I've seen or boarded many boats that are simply very difficult, one needs to be a gymnast, especially for women in a dress.
You have a very early boat built in June of 1998. My 450 was built in July of 1998 and was #6 (internal number “450EB-506”) in the 1999 production year. I also have the 3126 Cats but no records of them being rebuilt. From the HIN numbers I have been able to locate, your boat is #2 in the 1999 production year and #8 overall.
Thank you for the info, I’ve owned this boat for 9 years and know all the history of my boat and the water problems that some have had. Luckily I also have all paperwork for the boat including the original contract from SeaRay to Disney Corp. I’m on the fence of selling it or keeping it to use locally, like I’ve said it’s a lot of boat for the size.
Thanks! Also had a short run a month ago down to Marco Island. Post Ian, went over her insides with a fine tooth comb, actually a great flashlight, looking for water intrusion. My clogged ER hatch scupper, now cleared out, was presumed source of some standing bilge water overflowing the gutter. Last week once scupper hose cleaned out, I sopped up all remaining bilge water in ER. Has remained dry as a bone so far. Next heavy rain will be the tru test. I do dislike water in my bilge.
