Hi all.
We are Van and Crystal.
We bought a 1994-1995 Carver 280 Flybridge.
We have a lot of issues and have had a lot of fun.
Thought we would join the community to get more information on our boat and to join the carver community.

Welcome, We can probably help with the boat issues for sure. Other issues? Maybe not so much..

Re: Hello
Welcome aboard! To determine your actual model year, look at the final 2 numbers of your hull ID #. It is either a 94 or 95. Those years are very important as most boat manufacturers were cutting back on quality standards due to the impact of economy at the time, and 10% tax put on luxury items. THE GOOD NEWS: Carver did not scale back on quality during those tough times. Have more fun and less issues! CBTL
