New member with 1988 Carver Voyager 28

Hi

My name is Rob Spijkerman and I bought a 1988 Carver Voyager 28 back in March 2011. It had been sitting in a yard going to rack and ruin and I spent the next 4 years restoring her and launching her early in 2015.

Since then I've been enjoying her and finding all kinds of other issues with her but with a couple of new props she handles like a dream now.

Welcome. What took you so long to come aboard?! Looks like you did a great job. Stick around, I'm sure you'll be a big help for others doing a similar restore. Would love to see more pictures of her and the area you're in.
