Enough searching the forums for others that have the mighty 460 Express Cruiser. I hope this discussion area draws fellow 460EC owners to share in experience and knowledge on these boats.
Three decades later, 460ECs have seen various upgrades by their owners. Share your experiences here.
In my case, I have a '87 version with the extra mid-cabin bunk berths. Her home port is Goderich, Ontario on Lake Huron.
I bought her last spring and she spent this past winter have the hull's exterior re-glassed and refinished to remove 30 years of dock abuse. Also updated the interior salon and settee seating as well as some entertainment and helm electronics. Next project is the replacement of the shelf surfaces above the salon and settee seating with Corian.
She has twin Caterpiller 3208s (375 HP) which seem to be somewhat under powered. Was hoping for cruise speeds of 20 knots but I get ~ 16 knots at 2,400 RPM. This will be my next area of focus.
What are your experiences? I look forward to learning from you.
