Just purchased a 1986 3207 AC with Crusader 350s. The boat has been upgraded to electronic ignition. The prices at the marina for gas is out of this world. I live on the water so the boat will be stored at my dock. Trying to save some costs here and looking at what type of fuel that is recommended as I would like to purchase fuel at the local gas station and fill up at my house with a transfer pump or 20 5 gallon cans if that's what it takes! Just looking to see if it is even recommended to run ...

Good people of Carver-dom.
Just retired in May, have owned many smaller boats since the 70s, now moving up. Currently have a Sea Ray 38 aft cabin I'm going to sell. I'm looking at the Voyager line as I think they represent the high end esthetic class and still maintain some vintage elements of style. Will likely end up with the 530, but also looking at the 45/46 and the 56/560, although I can't for the life of me understand why the 56 was built. Maybe they already had a 56' mold?

One thing I know ...

In my quest to have more information available to me while I am away, I just installed a Victron Cerbo GX. Btw, very cool. My next add on is to monitor my fuel tanks via the Cerbo that appears on my MFD Garmin 8612 Plotter.

Just became an owner of a 1986 Carver 32 AC and have seen pictures of similar models with the aft deck with a fiberglass roof. Are these available to purchase? Just curious and looking for info. Thanks.

Hello all.



Im looking for the good, the bad, and the ugly with the Carver 506. My wife and I are looking at purchasing our first boat to explore the new stage of our live as we near retirement. There are a few Carver models we are looking at but would like to get some real world intel on the 506. Eventually, we are looking at the loop. The 506 seems a bit tall but I have seen posts that owners are navigating the loop with their 506s. Any information on navigating the loop in Canada, locking, ...

OEM stern thruster on my 2004 460 needs a lot of work and I am considering replacing it. Recommendations for the best replacement? Thanks

I have a 1987 4207 with a built in trash compactor in the galley, under the cabinet next to the fridge that I never use, neither did the previous owner. Not sure if it even works, but it’s nasty looking.



I decided to removed it and put in a nice new wine cooler. The removal did not go well. I can’t see how it’s attached to the floor. No obvious screws/bolts holding it in place. But it’s solid. I ended up cutting it off near the base and removing the top part with the motor and mechanisms…which ...

Has anyone painted the hull of their boat above the waterline? If so, can you provide any thoughts about such a project.
