Hello fellow Carvers!
We purchased this "used to be beautiful and we can bring her back to her glory" ol' girl in November of 2022. After literally hundreds of hours, we're nearly done!
We wanted to take a moment to share some "after pics" as the before pics would be just too dang much to handle!
Needless to say, we've done our best to truly touch every square inch of this ol' girl and put some much needed love back into her. We keep the boat in Osage Beach at Lake of the Ozarks and have found ...

Hello all

Ok, so our new to us 1987 4207 has been a blessing of many fine things since we've taken possession this past winter. She's so close to her old self and we're enjoying all that we've accomplished with her along the way.

However, the AC system has been a tough nut to figure out. Yes, I did some searches throughout our wonderful forum and failed to find my current issue so please bare with me...



Original units front, salon and rear. Yes, they're old but when they're running, they run fi ...

Starting to see more Starlinks on boats this year. There are 2 boats next to me on an island. One has his on the arch and the Sailboat has his on the picnic table. I took off my Satellite TV dome and sold it this spring before they become an unwanted item and replaced it with a Starlink after a trial period last year. Must say this is a great addition to any larger sized boat. Satellite TV domes will definitely go the way of the Dinosaurs shortly.

Hello,

My wife and I just purchased (ok, my wife purchased) a 1990 Carver 3607. We bought from a fiend who has owned her for 3 years, so we know the boat and recent maintenance pretty well. We are new to this class of boat, well boating in general. We are both pilots that love flying seaplanes however.

Thanks for letting us join!

I am looking to buy a marine battery for a new 16ft boat that I ordered. I'm trying to decide on GTK Marine Power battery. I will have a 46# trust FCTM, bilge pump, Electric start 25hp Yamaha, depth finder and a few other things running on it. What do you guys suggest? I have a yellow top Optima on my truck now(same battery for 10yrs) and love it but have never used their marine battery before and wonder if it will have enough capacity to run everything for a ...

I would like a recommendation for type and location of a new windlass install for a 3207. I would like to put it above deck rather than in the locker, but would there be any issue with the rode piling up on the deck rather than going down neatly through that small hole? Horizontal or vertical?
Thanks in advance,
john.

I just flushed my heat exchanger - a friend at the dock suggested using a product on the inside of the hose ends before sliding them back on and tightening the clamps to help with the seal. Has anyone used such a product? If so, what's it called?

Any recommendations for a replacement light cover?

just picked up an decent 1985 Santa Cruz 26.
seems mechanically sound. Needs a good cleaning.
Been sitting for a while, so i'm sure i'll find some gremlins:)

We are presently at Confederation Basin Marina in Kingston, Ontario. First time I see a charger for electric boats.
