The Official 450 Express Bridge Owners Club

Fun weekend on the island. We had company coming home this morning.

Yes, very pleased with Stamoid. Keeping the top clean is a challenge. Stamoid cleaner only, Imar products or void warranty is said. Saltaway or similar I've had mixed reports to use post warranty as a spray on rinse off. Here are better images of structure 1st owner had custom made.View attachment 147381 View attachment 147382 View attachment 147383 View attachment 147384

Very nice! I'm shopping right now like a kid with a Sears Catalog in Nov (If you know, you know). I really like the looks of the skeleton frame with Stamoid.

Less than 1000hrs, looks in great shape. Bow & stern thrusters. Can't quite see floor hatches in the salon? If there, I can't see em.

I thought you might like to see the hull color

Ha! Didn't notice hull color until I zoomed in. Very Key West. Liking the asking price, that's for sure. Suggests our model, well taken care of, can command a great price.

Had seen this one a while back, can't forget the hull color. Wonder if it sold and is back on the market, must be. In Nova Scotia, came from Florida.

Super low 495 hrs, just broken in. Seems to me could start at $250k but there are others in the $200 range.

Hours that low are a bit scary...how long has it been sitting or how long did it sit at one point.

 

[MarginCall]

Anyone need spare props? Friend of a friend has two that he says came off a 450. I don't know anything about them nor have I verified size or pitch. I think he's looking to get $1500 for both. DM me if interested and I'll pass contact info along.

Thx to @MarginCall who was commanded by his Admiral to change floors, I got to jettison my outdoor carpet. He brought these over to me at the Blue Angels Beach Air show in his dinghy.

That's awesome. Love my decking very similar.

Looks great!!! Where did you get those rodholder plugs? My rodholders fill with water and this looks like a good solution.

Bought two of these last year seeking source of bilge water, turned out to be plugged ER hatch scupper outfall end. But, they work great capping off rod holders. Amazon, but currently says out of stock. Seems to me could be found somewhere else.

Well, those are just pool plugs from Amazon.

We had another great weekend on the boat. I forgot to post I switched out my cockpit speakers. I put in a new pair of Kenwood speakers when we bought the boat in 2020. One failed and I noticed the plastic grills were deteriorating. Swapped them out for a set of Fusions.

Hi All,

Both of my port trim tab actuators broke yesterday. Assuming one failed and then caused the other to break.

Have to come out, and will do a few other items.

Does anyone know the size of actuators?

Thx! Amazingly, I have a yard date next Monday. Maybe will miss just one weekend, but maybe two.
