Then where are they going to build the new 650 fly. It is much bigger than the 58.
Just noticed on Sea Ray's web-site that they have eliminated all but two of their yachts (540 and 580 Sundancers are all that remain). They have...
We have had 2. Initially, we had a Zodiac YL 340DL w/25 HP Yamaha engine. This was a great tender, but we didn't like the engine/prop sticking...
We had a similar couch in our 480 Sedan Bridge and sometimes it would not fold down into a bed using the switch. What we would do is have someone...
Its the August issue beginning on page 50. They do a nice job of describing the installation with pictures and diagrams.
It is a very late 2007 but has all the updates that were done to create the 2008. We too have electronic controls with bow and stern thrusters....
Yes, it is our boat in PMY. We really love the system. We had to back into a slip in Saugatuck, MI recently that was 17' wide (and we are 16')...

Boat is in the water and we had our first test last Friday. It was a very windy day with with 25+ mph blowing out of the NE. We spent about a...
The boat uses Rexroth for the throttle/gear controls. The Rexroth alllows for an additional station, and essentially the joystick becomes that...
I've boated without a joystick for many years, without problems. And our 58 Sedan Bridge has both bow and stern thrusters. My wife really...
Yes, I have heard about such problems. The Xentas system has been used successfully on Azimuts (among others). Now they are getting into the...
Among the updates we are doing this year is installing a Xentas Joystick system with the help of SkipperBuds up here in the Chicago area. Our 58...
This is a new model, and the engine/water-jet system has apparently changed. It is very quiet. I will agree that the steering is very sensitive,...
We have had 2 RIBs over the past 6-7 years. The first was a Zodiac w/25 hp Yamaha outboard. Last year we moved to a Zodiac water-jet powered...
Well, two different dealers have approached me about going to the factory and seeing the "mock-up" that they have built. And I understand that...
The spy shots are beautiful, but wait until you see the price. According to several sources (3 different dealers) the price will start at...
480 Sedan Bridge I think the original post was about 480 Sedan Bridges or alternatively 540 Motor Yachts. We have a 2002 480 Sedan Bridge that...
Fuel Usage We have a 2002 480, with the Cummins QMS engines. They use about 22 gal per hour each at a cruise speed of about 30 mph. Out boating...
