This impressive 1997 Sea Ray 450 represents outstanding value in a large cabin cruiser, combining proven American build quality with extensive recent upgrades and major mechanical work already completed.
Powered by twin CAT 3116 diesels with approximately 1,200 hours, and supported by a Cummins 6kVA generator (approx. 3,500 hours), this vessel offers strong, reliable performance ideally suited to WA conditions.
Significant investment has been made recently to refresh and modernise the boat throughout. The interior now features new carpets, while the exterior has been upgraded with new foam decking and a new stainless steel back-deck frame and canopy, dramatically improving both presentation and functionality. A new sound system installed in early 2025, new underwater lights, and a battery monitoring system further enhance onboard comfort and usability.
From a mechanical standpoint, this Sea Ray has been exceptionally well looked after. The generator has undergone a full overhaul, the turbos have been reconditioned, and the engines were fully serviced on 9/12/25. The master cabin air-conditioning system has been replaced, and the bathrooms have received extensive attention, including new toilet seals and valves in 2025 and a new master toilet pump in 2024. These are the big-ticket items buyers want done--and they already are.
Accommodation is generous and comfortable, with the Sea Ray 450 offering the volume and layout that has made this model so popular for extended cruising and entertaining. The vessel will also be sold with a $6,000 anchor system and a $2,500 BBQ, adding further value for the next owner.
The tender package is outstanding, consisting of a 4.7m Southern Pacific tender powered by a 2024 model 60hp Tohatsu with only 60-70 hours, making it ideal for beach runs, exploring, or ferrying guests.
Swan Marine has had the pleasure of detailing this vessel and is at a great quality for the new owner.
This is a well-optioned, extensively refreshed Sea Ray 450 with serious money already spent--offering buyers a rare opportunity to step straight into a large, capable cruiser without the usual catch-up costs.
Please note this price is inclusive with tender and an additional lower price is on offer without tender.
And for the history buffs out there, this vessel was built and owned for US President Bill Clinton.
