IMMACULATE 450DA NOW FOR SALE

Would you consider adopting us and I'll help pay for the cleaning and keep the bar stocked? Seriously, you can use ours anytime here on Lanier. I'll spread the word as I know a couple people looking.
 
We were on the boat in late July and I can tell you now...if my slip were long enough, she would be sitting in it right now. From the rear of the lower swim platform to the anchor roller on the bow, she is a 10+ up top and down below.

Someone will inherit a fine machine.

I have a recommendation for those who know of Frank Webster and his boat and lifestyle.He is top-notch and settles for nothing less than near perfect and his boat is a dream to behold.If you are considering his boat (do not wait) as this one only comes around once in a lifetime.
Not a sermon....just a thought!

Endless seas, the truth has never been put so simply said.If I could only sell my boat I would head straight to his house with a check Hell I have even thought about owning two boats for a short period, like you said Once in a Lifetime !!!!
 
Frank, this is sad and happy... You have been my mentor with our 450 and one person's loss will be another's gain. Your vessel is beautiful and as sound as anything out there. Best wishes and good luck my friend, Mark
PS: if you ever make it out to the left coast, the wheel is yours...

SIRENS' SONG
1996 Sea Ray 450 Sundancer

After 24 great years with her, the time has come for us to make a change. Therefore, we are going to offer a member of our family, our beloved 450DA, for sale. So there isn't any second guessing, we are physically and financially healthy, and there is nothing wrong with the boat. Both our children are happy, healthy and secure in careers they enjoy. Our grandchildren are now in college and it seems really hard for the next 2 generations to get away to make the 500 mile trek to the boat. We just cannot justify the cost of maintaining a 50' boat, now mostly used as a day boat, to the level that I am comfortable with. Therefore, we are going to close this chapter and open a new one with a different type of boat.......yet to be determined.......(but it will not be a pontoon boat!) If anyone has any questions on anything about the 450DA you can reach me via CSR PM system or email at: f_webster@att.net Anyone who has an interest owning probably the nicest 45 on the market, now is the time. We are offering her to CSR members first, but will eventually list her with a broker.

Saw you boat last year while looking at your friends 45DA. She looked fine then. Can only imagine how the whole boat stacks up. Man; wish I was neck deep in this 510.
 
We didn't have any photos of the engines, generator or bilge and I omitted the port side galley view so here they are:

When I saw that one, I offered to make my wife one just like it out of either Teak or Cherry but she thought the stone one looked nice.........and who am I to argue with the lady that puts up with my crap?
 
Wow... If anyone is in the market for an 07 - freshwater 320 Sundancer. Message me. I would buy this in a heartbeat. The 320 is impeccable as well. I am serious... I almost listed the 320 and backed out last month. Kicking myself...

You'll really be kicking yourself if you let FrankW's boat get away. Your 320 will sell, you won't be a 2 boat owner very long. You know ya wanna;)

We could start a Go Fund Me Page to help offset any costs for the temporary 2 boat ownership phase and you can have the boat of your dreams...
