Post Just purchased 1986 Mariner 32


My name is Ryan, my wife and I just purchased our first cruiser, been on the water since I was a fetus though!
We are based out of the Gulfport Municipal Marina in Gulfport, FL. We live in St Petersburg.
Any other locals, don't hesitate to give a shout sometime, we'll be out and about a lot hopefully!
The boat is named North Star, black canvas and a compass rose on the transom.
Happy floating!

Post soon to be new owner


RaRa and Kaki are soon to be the new owners and caregivers for a 1990 32 Montego, 7.4 L gas v-drives. Her name is Mama's Dream. Our 39' 5th wheel is a Dream Catcher by Coachman.

Post Battery Charge Life


Hi



My AC shore power line was not connected well and my Carver 404 batteries were dead in the morning. Charged them back up and no problems. I thought that only going one night (maybe 18 hours) with no charge didn't seem like that long for the batteries to beable to hold a charge. I don't think there was much pulling on the batteries (maybe fridge, etc) over night that would have drained them.



Battery configuration is 3 batteries - 2 shared for engines and house, the other for generator.

Post Carver 530 Voyager


We are in the process of selling our home and plan on buying a boat to live on. We are looking at the 530 voyager. We like the layout and the fact of getting off/on the boat without climbing ladders. The voyager normally comes with either Volvo or Cummins engines. Doe anyone have any feedback on their experiences with these engines? I would prefer Cummins but most of the voyagers on the market have Volvo engines. Like anything else, if you take care of your equipment with preventative measu ...

Post 1998 355AC


Hello all, I am new to the forum, so I would appreciate any help offered.
The wife and I are in the process of purchasing a 1998 355 pending survey. This boat has the merc 7.4's with only 235 hours.
We are moving from a series of express cruisers. We greatly enjoyed our Carver 2757 even with the 3.7 lx motors and have just sold our 05 crownline 29cr with 350 mags. I will miss the speed and handling of the express, but we will not miss crawling out of the aft cabin in the morning and the cramped qu ...
