Good morning everyone. We have just sold our '07 Carver 36M. We had downsized from a 48 pilot house - and the 36M was perfect for the two of us. We are glad a nice Navarre Fl couple are purchasing it. Have a new (to us) 36 Command bridge that we keep on the same lift behind our home. We have 4 miles of fetch for waves to build so lifts are a must. Great keeping it out of the water (only 1 bottom job & changed zincs once in 14 years. But there are some challenges and want to chat with others ...

Hi. I am new to carver and the Mariner. I have a contract on a 2000 350. The boat seems to be in decent condition for its age. It has the 5.7 Crusader engine option. Are the 300hp crusaders enough on this boat? Any idea of what my cruise speed and fuel burn should be? How do these boats handle rough water? I am not taking it off shore but will use it on the Chesapeake bay and Potomac river. Anything specific to look for when doing my sea trial or during the survey? Thanks for any advice.

Hi Guys,

This was a project that I did 2 years ago and was actually a trial, I bought 2 mm thick PVC Vinyl flooring and glued this on my decks with carpet water proof glue.
Now 2 winters later the vinyl is still intact and doesn't come loose at all. It gives a real authentic look and is easy to clean.
I'm glad I took the chance and enjoy it every day I'm on the ship.

Hi Guys,
This was my last winter project. You like it or not, It is 5 x 5 ft in size and for light I used a RGB ledstrip with dimmer.

Hi,

We recently purchased a 1984, 28 Ft Carver near Nashville TN and are in love with it. I'll be roaming this forum for the next few weeks to see what it's all about.

Cheers,

Hello Everyone!

First I need to start by saying what a resource this forum has already been for me. My wife and I purchased a 1980 Carver 2687 Monterey this spring. To say the boat is a project may be an understatement. We got the boat at a great deal because the engine would not turn over when we went to inspect it. We are now about $5k in and the boat (and trailer) are about 95% complete.

We have had the boat out several times after my engine overhaul and it runs like a dream. The wife is NOW o ...

I am looking for information on how to adjust the Salon rear sliding glass door. The door is rolling freely, but strikes the center post between the two doors ver hard and loud. Is there a way to adjust this clearance? I did see on a Carver site that there are adjusters , A and B for the top and C and D for the bottom. There is no diagram showing adjuster location? Does anyone have any experience with this?

We recently purchased a 2000 Carver 530. Just looking to establish a base for information from other owners with experience.

The bulbs are Silico 14v made in Mexico any sourcing info would be greatly appreciated. Stay safe, enjoy. Thanks Dave
