I thought so too. It’s from Clark’s landing in annapolis. Our 290 was purchased at that show so it came with a bunch of stuff

that 560DB price is no joke, especially for back then.

In 2006 my 58DB retailed for just over $1.65M....and they were flying off the lot that year.
 
I see the 1999 330DAs for $44K off. That was the year that they brought out the 340 version. There are both 1999 330DAs and 1999 340DAs based on the same hull, but different top side and layout. Once it was released they had to unload the 330DAs. What is crazy is how the value has held up on well-maintained 330DAs from those years.

interesting stuff. I’ll also say I love our 410 but for 40-50k more (maybe closer after negotiations) I’d have sprung for the 450. I recall @fwebster saying he went through something similar when buying their 450
 
Actually, there was never a doubt about the 450DA being the right boat for us. We were seriously considering ordering a new 1997 370EC……until we looked at a 450DA the marina traded for. It was a 200 hour boat but needed some maintenance caught up…..valve adjustment and overheads reset which was north of $2500. We drove back to Florida to try to make a deal on that boat but when we got there the general manager pulled me aside and said "Just hang on a day…..we are about to make a deal on a nearly new 450 if we can get the owner to pull the trigger on a new 500DA."

He did and we loved his boat…….my 1996 450DA, 62 hours on the engines and she still had the plastic on the interior seating. The price of 370EC's was as much as the dealer wanted for the 450DA. Plus, there were no production slots for 370EC's available until 1998 models were released, so this was a no brainer for us…..I bought the 450DA that afternoon and moved her to my slip the next morning.

great story. I realized the 370EC corner of the ad was obscured, here’s a better picture
