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 I'm going to have, or add is that cool automated remote control setup. If anyone has experience getting it installed, and using it, drop me a note with any advice. I will need to add a stern thruster first, and then the controller. My wife is semi-disabled and not able to do a lot of helping with lines. But - we love to get out on the boat, which means a fair amount of single person dockage.
Any other advice vis-a-vis Carvers and the Voyager line is welcome as well.
