Twin 305's 690 hours. 3 years in Dry Dock.
How will the seals for the drive shafts hold up?
We're going to drop it in the water and do a sea trial but what do I need to look for and what is common?
Any assistance here would be totally appreciated.

We're in the final stages of purchasing a 2807. 1986 that needs PLENTY of TLC.
Going to be a long winter restoring something that has been dry docked for 3 years.
We are going to be asking a whole lot of questions.

Here is an album of my 1982 3007 I purchased about 3 weeks ago. We have a ton of work left and most of what we have done is cosmetic. The boat really needed a good scrub down when I got it and the outside can't be seen well in the pictures but it does clean up well. White is so hard to keep streak free but I'm getting there. Mechanically I don't have anything that needs any attention this season. I am running just a little lean it seems when underway and a good carb rebuild might do the job but ...

We recently bought a 1999 Carver 530 and are upgrading the stereo system next week.
We're removing a VCR player, 2 tuners and a multi-CD player. We're installing a new blue tooth compatible receiver, amp and all new speakers. This is going to leave us with open cabinet space in the main salon. I'd love to use it for liquor/wine storage. Does anyone have any photos of clever storage ideas for the newly opened up spaces?
Thanks!

Hi! Just found this forum - nice to have a place dedicated to Carver boats!
My husband and I just bought (well, actually in May of this year) a 1999 Carver Voyager 530. We've taken a few overnight trips this summer and are hoping to take advantage of what's left of the summer here in N. Michigan to venture a little further. We're about to upgrade some things and I've got questions .... off to the right section here for some guidance!

Hi all, does anyone know where I can purchase hatch replacement units for a 3297 carver mariner.
The recessed design must make them specific to carver.
Thanks

A few summers ago I plumbed all my grey water through the shower sump thus eliminating the need for the 70 gallon grey water holding tank. I would now like to plumb the black water into that tank and eliminate that 40 gallon holding tank completely. Does anyone see any reasons I should not attemp that project. The boat is my 1986. 3297 mariner
Thank you

For the last couple of seasons we can smell like a holding tank odor sometimes in our cabin. I have checked everything I can think of and there is no smell in the bilge or when you flush. This week we realized we only have the odor when the cabin A/C is on. Has anyone else experienced a problem like this or have any ideas on what could be causing it?

Hello all. I have purchased an 88 270 Montego dual cabin. We have been doing a lot of work on her are anxiously awaiting her first launch ( under new management). Unfortunately she has not been serviced properly for a good while it seems. I had requested new impellers, bellows kits and gimble bearings be installed by our boatyard. The service on the port side went smoothly and that unit is ready to install. The starboard unit is another matter. It is frozen up to the point it must be replaced. ...
