Hello all.
Im looking for the good, the bad, and the ugly with the Carver 506. My wife and I are looking at purchasing our first boat to explore the new stage of our live as we near retirement. There are a few Carver models we are looking at but would like to get some real world intel on the 506. Eventually, we are looking at the loop. The 506 seems a bit tall but I have seen posts that owners are navigating the loop with their 506s. Any information on navigating the loop in Canada, locking, and passing the bridge South of Chicago would be most helpful.
