Greetings all! Thx for acceptance. Just recently became boatless. By choice though… Admiral has put me on the hunt for our next vessel. She wants 480MY yet I’m partial to 48DB. As usual I’m sure she’ll win this debate. Hoping to find something soon(optimism here) but the market doesn’t appear fruitful(reality here). Oh well, let the hunt begin.. I’ve been trolling the threads here researching info on these boats. What a wealth. Learned a ton and don’t own one yet.. Cheers!
 
Saw that on y’all’s profiles. Sweeet. Willing to bet I’ve seen ya around JFJ’s…. We hail from Herrington harbor south
 
Welcome from an Upper Bay 480DB owner. You have one of the nicest marinas on the entire bay. We visit Herrington North and South frequently.
 
Friends of ours have been shopping for 480 SBs (among others), have already surveyed three... and walked away from each. Lots of seriously neglected crap out there, so be wary while shopping.

Pirate, we’ve been to Tolchester/shanty couple times. Nice there since place has been redone. We do more of JFJ for kids. Anchor out/raft up against peninsula 2-3 days. Kiddos love it. They dink around the place a lot fish etc….. JimG thanks for link. I’ll read up. Chris, may I ask which/where theSB’s were located that your friends surveyed and walked? Looking at YW/BT not many out there.. -Mike

Gorgeous lady you’ve got there. If only my slip was big enough. Assuming MAN’s?
 
My $0.02... go with the 480BD. I have many reasons but YMMV. Plus, there's probably more 480DBs to select from over the 480MY and have a better chance of selling down the road if/when you upgrade. Plus the DB doesn't look like a giant sneaker! Lol!

Again, just my $0.02. Good luck and welcome aboard!

Thx for input Strypes. Wife likes the aft area of the “Nike” and is concerned about the window leaks on the DB. Final decision my end up being what’s available ‍♂️
 
Welcome from across the bay! We frequent Herrington Harbor South and love it there. Good luck hunting!

It’s most definitely a resort marina. For us close to home and kiddos absolutely love it. I’ll let them run the whole marina and not worry about them. Look forward to seeing you there some time -Mike
 
From a distance I wasn't a fan of the MY till our dock neighbor picked up a 48. It's awesome! Not the best boat for us as we have 2 teenage boys and their friends and often raft up on the Bohemia. Anyway, definitely worth checking out. The 48 MY is a lot of boat for the money.
 
Seanile, that’s the direction the Admiral really wants… aft deck entertaining, master away from the rest, spacious interior. Me on the other hand.. meh. I can only make my case and then do as she wishes..
