Bigger is almost always better in many ways.

Re: Hi All! About to be Carver Owners!
Hi All,
UPDATE
COVID-19 messed with our timings, but not our plans.
Finally took possession last Wednesday. Did the shakedown cruise yesterday, including a pump-out and gas-up (gauges are clearly inaccurate) so we have a baseline to estimate consumption and usage.
A treat to manoeuvre! Better and easier than my previous boat (280 SD with twin 4.3s).
We're a Happy Couple!!
(still have to get a new name for the boat, but we like to think that the boat usually tells you the name after awhile)
