    480 DB Owners Club

    We just got the boat back in the water after having been hauled out for a month. We removed the old vinyl stripe (black 2" and gold 1") raised the waterline to the bottom of the old vinyl black stripe and put on a new black 4" vinyl stripe with an inch of reveal between the top of the bottom...

    Hi Northern! Unfortunately, you cannot write-off the loss on the sale of a boat as it is personal-use property BUT if you sold it for more than your cost basis, you would have to pay capital gain. Life and the tax code is not always fair or makes sense.

    AGM batteries

    I discovered I need a DC-to-DC Converter otherwise you will burn out your alternator and best off with a seperate charger made to charge lithium batteries for the lithiums. I have wet cell D8's for my starting batteries and back-up for my DDEC and AGMs for my bow and stern thrusters...

    AGM batteries

    Good evening! I read in a post about wet cores and saw that you looked at a 56’ Sea Ray earlier this year. Was that by chance a 560 SB? I have a 560 SB under contract and the surveyor found a wet spot in the hull. Wondering if this is the same boat. Boat I’m looking at is in Portland Oregon...
