The layout is awesome IMO, kitchen near the deck doorway, can service deck and dinette in side. I would always have a dink with me as the Bahamas have so many great anchorages. Your boat is 13 years old, there will be a few area where the caulking will dry out I'm sure, especially where the...

Thank you Smokio, thats about 350 off max RPM and I'm guessing about 50 gals burn between them. Moved to FL from CT 5 years ago to get away from the cold. Thanks

not planning to run at WOT, looking for info on 85% of WOT and what the boat will be cruising at. Will she sustain 25 knots at 85 % RPM fully loaded. Little data on line about the 47 and hoping owners with real experiences will help. I was going to chase a 58 because of the full beam master but...

OK 47 DB owners, need some info as I am going to look at one or 2 soon. I like the layout of the kitchen location, master full beam but am concerned about performance. Ive always been able to cruise at 26 or 27 knots and I can't find firm numbers with the 600 Cummins and V drive setup. I've had...

Care to share anything on the 47, looking at a few and can't find much info, limited production because of the recession. All I've seen are 2008s. Mostly concerned with the performance, again limited data, I've had the QSM 11s and have a need to cruise at least 25 knots, going 200 to 25 miles a...

Thanks again Dquint, good to know. I'm with ya on the Mans, great engines but $$$$$. We will be spending some time in the Bahamas next summer and would like to run about 24 to get to some of the far points. I will bring a tender, probably in the neighborhood of 3-4 hundred pounds. I'm assuming...

Thank you for taking the time Dquint, I did some digging in the CATs last night and they seem to be a very strong, robust motor that don't require quite the maintenance regiment of the MANs. The extra 400 HP would be great but for 3 or 4 knots of increase in cruise speed does it make sense? In...

Good evening all, we are in the market for a 560 Sedan and am looking at a few from 2001, 2002, 2004 and if they aren't in good condition will wait til the northern market opens in spring. Seems most have the MAN and 1 with CATS. I do most of the maintenance myself, not a pro but handy, also...

Thanks so much Jim, had hoped there was a forum for that boat but am new here. Take care and happy boating.

Hello all, hoping you can guide me on my search for 06/07 58 Sedan. I wasn't able to find a lot of info other than units for sale and a video or 2. I'm looking for feedback from owners on everything like: Performance, fuel burn, engine room access for systems maintenance and getting around in...
