I have the MANs so I am not sure about the Cat burn rates. But knowing the boat fairly well I'd imagine your burning 45-55 gal/hr anywhere between 22-24 knots. The hull seems to really like minimum 23kts loves 25-28kts but the fuel burn would be a bit higher. I just figure on 1/2 mile gallon...

+1 Generator runs from the time the boat leaves the dock until the time the boat returns to a dock. I've ran the generator for four days straight before, without the generator skipping a beat. Once back to the dock I let the generator run for three or four minutes after the AC is back on...

We did it last year with the same concerns, it was fine. Get a Sea Tow membership and call them two weeks before your trip. They will escort you through. Give them a nice tip. Worked great for us!

2200 hours on a diesel generator is nothing... Especially if maintained well (ie. Regular oil changes). Expect 5000-6000 hrs if maintained, before an overhaul is necessary.

When I did the credit thing, on large purchases I'd print my three reports (and scores) and have lenders have a look, and give me their anticipated rate. Worked well without having to have a dozen inquiries on your report.

Gorgious Yacht! I would have had a heart attack if a chain saw was that close to my bottom!

Maybe another option would be to cut the old connector off, and solder the new connector to the wire.

We went Saturday, was alright not really that great of a boat show. Hate to say it but Regal was really on their game, the 42 was had a great design & layout. The Sea Ray's seemed to have a "corporate" feel to them, but still their quality & fit/finish was still better than most of the other...

Paul - great pics of your 560, really represents this Sea Ray well. The 560 tends to be overlooked, and I am glad this post is getting some action and creating more awareness of this spectacular Sea Ray. I really believe the 560 has become a great value for anyone looking for a Sedan Bridge...

While doing your search, check out Achilles. We have an Achilles and choosed it because it had more floor space compared to similar length tenders (some tenders have an extra 2"-4" more tube from the stern), which we needed for the dogs. We also found the Achilles had a wider bow than most...

Very valuable statement. Onceyou find your perfect staff, in many cases, one things goes even further than $$$ - Recognition. If you hire the right people and give them recognition, you will have a successful business. Otherwise, for most any a retail type business as several have mentioned...

Here is a short video I wanted to put under the "Bridge" section but couldn't figure out how to post until now: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EgQEwWNSbZg

Paul, Can you post several pictures of your beautiful teak here (and a link to your installation posts)?

Of course, think she's part of the lineage as the 550 became the 560 in 1998 to 2004, now the current model is known as the 580 Sedan Bridge.

I know it is hard to understand if you haven't had the opportunity to go form a larger V8 big block gas powered boat to a 8-15ft or so larger diesel powered boat. But don't write off an upgrade to the 480 just yet!!!! The reality is that I'd bet the 480 burns no more than most 38ft - 42ft...

We'll with so many other Sea Ray models having an "Owners Club" thread, I figured the 560 DB (Sedan Bridge) should have a thread dedicated to the wonderful boat that it is. Sea Ray 560 DB (Sedan Bridge) The Sea Ray 560 Sedan Bridge is one of the best Sea Ray’s ever built, a remarkable Yacht...

[deleted]Woops, didn't realize which thread this was in...

The V10 Man's are awesome, best decision I made was to get a boat with them. The major, 1000hr maintenance, will cost about $8,500 per engine should you deicide to get new injectors.

We're in!
