Good Morning All, I have the 1977 Carver that sat for 5 years. It is not very clean or shiny. How do I restore it to it's glorious shine, or at least the best that it can get? Do you have any product names that you recommend? My thought was: - wash and scrub it 1st - depending how shiny it is or not, polish it with 1 or maybe 2 different grits of polish - final would be a wax and buff Does this sound correct? Like I said, any product recommendations? Thanks, Steve

Good Morning All, We are on our way to prepare our new boat for transportation across wi. It sat for the last 5 yrs. we of course got a bargain but at what cost? I will attempt to start the engines so hopefully we won't have to tow it to the slip. We never had a boat this big and it will be an adventure. I've been following these forums and hopefully learned enough, for now. I am sure I will have many questions to come. Thanks, Steve

We bought this boat last fall and have been waiting all winter for the ice to go to get it back in the lake. Might be a while yet as it's supposed to hit -31 celsius tonight. I have e-mailed Carver at least three times looking for the owner's manual and they always reply that someone will get back to us but they never have. Does anyone have any ideas where to get a manual? Thanks.
