    Talk about expensive!

    Carpe, Ironiccally reading through this thread I enjoyed seeing there are others out there like me who use "Boat Accounts". On my 460 DA I put $2500/mo in for the slip, fuel, maintenance, and payments as well. Eventually the now, EX-Wife got pissed about spending that money on a boat vs lavish...

    460 Sundancer Cockpit table upgrade

    Hello Mark, Congrats on your purchase of the new to you 460! I'm sure you're going to absolutely love the boat! I see in your signature that you had a 540DA previously? May I ask why you scaled down to a 460DA? As far as the stock table goes for the 460 that I had, soon after I posted this...

    Fortress FX-23 Anchor, Carrying bag, and 6' chain.

    Gently used Fortress anchor in great shape including all paperwork. If you're not familiar with this anchor, it's top-rated! This was my spare anchor on a 460 Sundancer. I can email photos if needed. $300 plus shipping.

    I found cleaning the cord with a gritty cleaner scraped all the crud off the cord and it goes back into the holder much easier now.

    I agree, PITA! I considered having a stainless elbow bent to make the plumbing connection easier to put on and off. I did replace my pump with an SMX version and that's much easier. Good luck!

    As an alternative to Mr. Clean, I suggest a few squirts of liquid dish soap followed by a gallon of hot water.

    That floor looks great Wolf! That's one benefit of having the boat out of the water during the Winter in Northern Michigan! I guess the trade-off to living in Portland,OR is we don't take them out of the water except to paint the bottom!

    Hello Bob- I'm sorry to hear about the survey on the '05. That's a tough decision to make. Out of curiosity, was it a Cummings tech that diagnosed the turbo problem or just a general surveyor? Either way, I hope you can get some resolution...Best of luck in your search! Stuart

    Mike- Thanks for the thoughts! Yes, I'm healing, but never thought I would be only putting 30-40 hours on the boat per year. Typically we were running 80-100 hours and that's when I am the happiest. All the best! Stuart

    Yes James, you are so correct that if the admiral isn't happy....Also, it is so unusual to even think of being out of 'dancing after nearly 30 years with a Sea Ray!

    Mike- I think I see a common thread here, as we, too, bought a new home about the time that our usage started to decrease. Hmmmm, I guess we should have stayed in the old shack where my wife enjoyed going to the boat! It's been a lot worse for us though, I had an auto accident, T-boned in the...

    Mike, I'm sorry to hear that you're selling the 460. FWIW, I have my boat on the market here on the West Coast. My wife wants to get a beach house and the kids don't like to go out on the water anymore. WTH?
