Big shout out to "La Costa Boat Works" - Guillermo Knows his stuff / The paint is a "Formula" style paint job, Dark Teal Blue with Green metallic flakes.. Sun light brings out the different color!

If you're willing to share....how'd you do against your target of $60k to correct all the issues? I saw at least one suggestion it would be $100k+.

Cool thread and great pics too!

Th original was $60 with engine work, I'm about at $58K but still need to do the service so, that's about another $20k. about $15k of the over budget was cosmetic that my Fiancé wanted..
 
The boat looks awesome! So did you have all of the work done in Ensenada? Where are you keeping in here in SoCal? Newport? I’m guessing I’ll get to see it in Catalina soon! Congratulations!
yes all the work done in Ensenada, MX. if you need a solid group to work with, La Costa, Guillermo. Meticulous... Yes in newport, and yes in Catalina!!

Catalina Wine Mixer and Bucs Days!! :)

Looking forward to meeting you in Catalina! My good friend has his 65' trawler in Ensenada and also has nothing but good things to say about the work done down there. And BTW, your boat even looks great on the hoist!

Cockpit hull circular cover / storage - stash compartment Starboard side

Most importantly are the door handles, Anyone know where to find these? any guidance would be great.. thanks

You can probably get your door handles form Flounder Pounder. If they are similar to the ones used on 52 and 58DB's IIRC they are made by Mobella.
 
Bridge Air conditioner: replacement control panel and Electronics board. Anyone have an idea as to where the electronics board is actually located. I'm sure I could read the owners manual "Again", but would be great if someone knew where it was and pointed it out.

I was told behind the salon seating, but I couldn't find it.. I have the air conditioner up there that works, but need to replace the panel board and the electronics board.

Help... ??

Max,
I would again suggest posting these questions in the 480 DB thread. http://www.clubsearay.com/index.php?threads/480-db-owners-club.34810/ I think you will get a better response there.
