Sold! This listing is for my parents who have entered a new stage in life and it's time for a different boat in a different area of the country.

The boat is in a slip at Washington Park Marina in Michigan City, and those of you that have met my parents, you know how well they care for their possessions. This will be a turnkey operation for the new owner, details are listed below.

The 450DA is revered to be one of the best boats Sea Ray has ever made, very stable, built solid and powered by the reliable CAT 3126 engines boasting 420HP each. Capable of efficient cruising or getting where you need to go, this is a perfect Great Lakes boat and my parents have cared for Incognito well.

Thanks! I looked up the thread and poster, found out the boat could make the trip down there on the rivers. No thoughts needed about putting it on a truck.
 
No need to trace wires. Those are for the bilge heaters. Previous owner installed them and since Lake Michigan gets pretty violent during the winters, the boat is hauled out before they would really be needed here.
 
Bumping this up. It’s been in fresh water for its entire life. Someone looking in the Midwest should at least come look at it. It can easily be transported in the spring as well if you want it trailered, no rush since it’s stored through the winter anyways.
 
Good luck with your sale! We're just a stones throw away from the prime boat selling time on Lake Michigan. Assuming she survey's well that seems like a screaming deal for a fresh water diesel 450. Made me look twice...or six times :)
 
I have been on board this boat, she shows very well and would make anyone looking for a 450 a fantastic vessel. The engine room is incredibly clean!
 
Didn’t even see this one listed for sale. Looks nice. Let me get to my computer later today to take a closer look at the pictures. PM sent as well.
