Re: new guy here
Can't contribute too much but we bought our Santego this spring. Have had a few minor things to deal with but that's not unusual with a used boat.
We too really like the layout and functionality of the boat.
I am sure you will be pleased with the purchase.

Re: new guy here
Welcome to the forum Kyle....there are quite a few threads about that very boat and a number of owners that can help, so have a look around and good luck on your search....... 
FWIW.....The above is just my opinion.

Re: new guy here
I have some friends who previously owned a 27' Santego. I was impressed with how much space that boat had for a 27 footer. Carver definitely utilized all the space inside they could. Nice boat. Hope it all works out for you.

Re: new guy here
Great boat! What year are you looking at? If you can't find a Santego, consider a Mariner. Similar living space, but easier to walk around the bridge. Bridge height is also similar. Good luck!
