After swapping a few messages back and forth with Keithmo, we noticed that there is not an official 450 EB thread. From my research Sea Ray produced the 450 EB from late 1997 as a 1998 model to 2004 in both a two stateroom and three stateroom model. It replaced the 440 EB from 1997/8 and was 9" wider and 1'6" longer than its predecessor. Sea Ray used the hull from the 450 DA along with some elements and features from the DB line to build the 450 EB. Approximately 230 boats were made in the production run at the Palm Coast facility. Here is an article originally published in Yachting Magazine reviewing the new model back in 1998:

A PDF of the 2003 model is attached below.
Here is a nice video shot in the Delta where I found my boat:

Boat #1 off the line named "WAYFARER" was produced in December 1997. I do not have any verification it is still in service, although it is currently registered with the USCG in Maryland:
Here is the oldest boat known to exist, #2 built in January of 1998, currently in Ontario Canada:

The 450EB was also used at Disney World for guests. VIP cruises were available on "... the Grand 1, a 45-foot Sea Ray 450 Express Bridge Yacht, offering private dining, butler service, and a captain. Cruises start at $399 per hour, plus tax (seats 18 guests — or 17 if traveling with a butler)."

Finally, here is a registry of known 450EB boats, based on the HIN# and Sea Ray internal #. I will update the list for every boat that we come across.
Approximately 111 boats on the registry as of April 2024:
