Looking forward to all things Carver.

Looking for clarification:
Originally the surveyor said it was my waste discharge pump fitting that was corroded and now on the written survey they are calling it a bait well pump inlet.

I did not know there was a bait well. Here is what was written:

The bait well pump inlet port is significantly corroded; the pump is not operational – suggest renewing pump (Note: if there is no need for a bait well pump, suggest fitting a wash-down pump instead)

Any insight would be appreciated, I sent an email ...

Hi All,

I just made an offer on a 1986 3207 Aft Cabin. I told the broker that the swim platform was very soft and he did not seem to agree. Every other part of the boat is very solid but the swim platform definitely feels very soft under my feet, enough to where I thought I was going to fall through. Is this a wood cored platform? Is it a common issue on the 3207?

Thanks!!!

Open invite to Seattle fans coming to Green Bay this weekend. Happy hour on Cooler Saturday. We can talk smart and lie the day before the Packers playoff game! I will provide transportation. I will also assist in any needs for your visit to Green Bay to make your NFL experience a great experience. Besides, we're already friends because we are CYO's! GO PACK! er

Beautiful day to go through the new boat. Went through the systems, tested everything (except the water maker; apparently it is common to not test this unless you plan to use it with ocean water, the San Francisco Bay "mucky water" is not recommended to run through the membranes).



The boat was deemed "above average" for its overall condition and the upgrades by the surveyor. Comps will be virtually impossible according to the surveyor, that is actually great news to hear.



Boat will need:

I would like to install a tank monitor on the black water tank of my Carver Riviera 2807. Does anyone have any experience with the Scad TMI Tank Monitor with external sensor that is attached to the outside of the tank?

Well, our off season is well on its way and all of us are working away at our winter projects getting ready for another fun filled summer ahead!



So my question to fellow 396 owners, how do you clean the roof of the upper aft cabin? I know you cannot stand or put weight on the roof, I'm pretty tightly packed in for storage, so latter next to me is pretty unlikely. So how do you all get that clean? even during the summer months? Last fall was my first season with the boat, and really had not ...

I am thinking about DIY shrink wrapping my 1989 Carver 3607 Aft Cabin. Anyone have an idea what size shrink wrap would provide the necessary coverage? Is 36' x 70' too big?

Hey folks,
I'm looking to change my Portholes (9) on my 1985 3607 Carver. I'm working really hard to bring her back to tip top shape. She is running like new but now needs some "cosmetic" work. Any suggestions would be appreciated.
Thanks,

Hello all,
I am currently closing in on purchasing a 2001 444. Very excited and trying to learn all I can. I love most everything about this boat, it is a great fit for us. Does anyone have any idea what these 444's cost (roughly) when they were brand new? Thanks in advance!
