Howdy all! I have a (new to me) 2004 366 a/c and have started noticing how low she seems to sit in the water…most concerning is the bow thru hull for the forward A/C discharge. See pic. Currently the water tank (that resides under the aft bed) is empty and the side fuel tanks are full. Only other change is the new bow thruster and two batteries in the fwd cabin that total 170lbs. I looked for pix of others for sale and the few bow shots low enough seemed to all show that discharge within an 1” ...

We are looking at. 99, Carver 406 that started its life in Virginia, then 13 years in New York, then North Carolina. Don’t know if those were fresh or saltwater years. In May of this year someone bought it, put roughly 200 hours spending the summer with wife and 3 small children taking it from NC to the Florida Keys. They finished the summer in the pan handle and now want a bigger boat. The boat appears to be in very good shape. New owner replaced all fuel lines and hoses. That was the only thin ...

is the top wing easy to remove?

Can someone identify what this is? It's underneath the overhang over the windshield - Carver 440 aft cabin.

Hello friends:

BLUF - 1987 Carver 3297, where can I get a new 3 prong navigation pole, the lightbulbs are out but the top cover is missing allowing elements to get inside. I would like a new one and not just a quick fix.

Thoughts?

Hello Forum,



I think I told you my 1987 3297 is my first boat, ever. Trying to figure out why the negative reviews online? I get a lot of compliments from my neighbors at the Marina who own Meridian, Silverton and a few other “higher” priced boats etc. who say they think my boat is a very good, reliable brand yet, there are some haters that say Carver doesn’t make good boats.
