Hello there folks, and thanks for putting together a great site.

We are initiating a slow-motion hunt for a Carver aft-cabin, 355 or 356 or 366 (or similar) and I'm realizing it would be very helpful to have some sort of model evolution, or summary, or even history of these beautiful aft-cabin boats.

There have been a lot of evolutions and tweaks and launches over the last 40 years or so and I'm curious if anyone can point me to a summary, or compilation, or explanation of years/changes/dimensions/features/performance of the main 355-and-onwards lineup.

I tied up beside a late 90's 355 and then a slightly newer 356 moored just beside him. I immediately fell in love but didn't know enough to discern structural, powertrain, detail, finish differences between the two, not to mention years of production.

I've searched the site and haven't found exactly the info I'm looking for in one place. I am such a detail freak that I tend to go a little OCD when researching something like this.

Any help would be most appreciated. There's nothing I like more than researching what I'm hunting for as much as possible. I think I enjoy that part as much as anything!

Thanks,

Mr. Ted
