Hello all,
I am starting to look at Carver Voyager in the 2000 to 2007 year models, but I am finding it difficult to tell differences between 56, 57, 56Se, 570, 53, 530 etc.
For example: If the 53' is 3' shorter then the 56' where does the 3' get squeezed from?
Any charts comparing would be very helpful.
Thanks in advance,
GFY

A friend of mine has a 2005 560 with the big 12 liter (I believe 675hp each) Volvos for sale. $449k in great condition. Just about 1000 hrs.

Re: Carver Voyager model comparison?
If you look at the specs, the 530 is 6' shorter than the 56 or 570.GFY wrote:QR_BBPOST Hello all,

Re: Carver Voyager model comparison?
When I was looking at them years ago the 530 was a 570 with six feet removed from the salon and flybridge (nearly 60 foot LOA for the 570 and 54 foot LOA for the 530). The shorter salon on the 530 made it seem cramped and I much preferred the 570. I didn't look at newer 52 and 56 models but I believe they removed the lower helms normally seen on the older 530 and 570. There was an option to remove the lower helm from the 570 but very few were built that way.
