New member, not yet an owner

Post by Ker Plunk »

Like the Carvers but I’m still learning about them. I believe this is the right place to learn.

Going to look at an ‘89 tomorrow.

How about more details. Which model? Have you looked at other Carvers? Which boxes are you looking to check off?

Welcome. Where in FL? What type of cruising are you doing, lake, ICW or off-shore? Try to get info on what formula of bottom paint the PO used. Good luck. Let us know how that inspection goes. 8-) er

Good Day, new member and thinking hard about being a new Carver owner. Torn between a 538 Montego and a 38 Santego. One big factor, either one will need to be shipped. Pretty sure the Montego only needs the radar arch removed, but the Santego might need the entire flybridge removed. Has anyone shipped a Santego 38? will the flybridge need to come off? what all is involved? :help:
Thanks..
