2003 Sea Ray 480 Sedan Bridge “ABOUT TIME”

Approach and Cockpit

As you approach About Time you will notice her shiny gel coat and clear enclosures. You board her via the hydraulic platform at her stern, passing by her Novurania dinghy on your way through her transom entry door into her large cockpit area. In the cockpit you will find a rigid Bimini offering protection from rain and sun, a bench seat to the aft, storage cabinets, sliding glass entry doors to the salon, and the molded staircase to the bridge on the port side. The cockpit has removable full canvas enclosure and a sunscreen for the aft.

Bridge

As you ascend the stairs you will find the helm directly to starboard. The helm features 2 helm chairs, updated Garmin electronics, a Raymarine autopilot, Cummins SmartCraft displays, vhf radio, bow thruster, trim tab, spotlight and windlass controls, and a fusion stereo. There is a storage cubby above the helm. From the helm chair you have a 360 degree view for easy docking. Forward of the helm is a u-shaped dinette with a fiberglass table and to port is a wet bar and air vent for the bridge heat and air system. Above the wet bar there is a flat panel tv that hinges to store up against the hard top. The bridge has a full enclosure plus front and rear sun screens.

Salon and Galley

As you descend from the bridge into the cockpit to starboard you enter into the spacious salon through the glass sliding door. Inside you will find your power panel directly to starboard inside the lower cabinets and the entertainment above. On the port side, the built in sofa is powered to convert into an additional berth. Continuing forward there is an elevated dinette forward of the sofa and directly across on the starboard side is your galley. The galley features sub zero under counter fridge and freezer, single basin sink, and ample cabinetry. She has a countertop that slides out to provide extra prep or serving space.

Accommodations

Forward of the galley you will descend 3 steps into the companionway for the accommodations. To port is the VIP with a queen size berth, hanging locker, and private access to the guest head that features a vacu-flush head and separate shower stall. The head is also accessible from the companionway for use by the 3rd guest stateroom or as a day head. The 3rd stateroom is directly across from the head and has 2 twin berths in an L-shape with storage below them. This room also houses the built in washer/dryer combo unit and a hanging locker. The primary stateroom is forward in the bow and has 1 hanging locker, 1 locker with shelving, and 1 drawer under the island queen bed. On the starboard side of the stateroom you will find a door leading to a private ensuite head.

Decks

The bow can be accessed from port or starboard sides of the cockpit and has handrails affixed to the side of the boat for safety until the bow rails are met. The bow cushion is included and is currently being stored ashore. There is an electric windlass, chain locker, and an anchor wash down.
