If I am remembering correctly, the owner of #2 said his boat was listing to starboard also. We suggested to him that the early boats had issues with water intrusion. He said he read the 450 thread but couldn’t sign up for some unknown reason.Per my sales broker 2 yrs ago June, calling to touch base, the first 450EB I viewed back then is unsaleable. 2001, 3sr, Volvo engines, still at Navy base marina, Pensacola. Boat wouldn't pass survey due to water entrapment stbd side hull. Boat is actually listing. Makes me look for all exterior caulk compromises, thru hulls, SS rails, rub rail, bilge vents. Salon and bilge is dry but no evidence doesn't mean hull core can't have water entrapment from these sources.
