I agree with those who don't believe it is an issue that Carver closed. It is unfortunate and would have been easier to identify solutions by calling Carver. However, you have all of us helping each other now. The value will remain the same based on the closing of Meridian and others. Carver is still one of the most popular boats around.

Very popular brand and respected indeed. A good example are Doral boats. Been out of business for years and still a very sought out cruiser. I agree with most that a well taken care of vessel is a great vessel. And if you want to change just to change, good luck with that, slim pickings out there.....
