Carver Owners Forum

Hi there NHM,
You will find this forum very informative and the members extremely helpful.
If you decide to purchase the boat there is a company called SPECTRUM COLOR who will be able to match the brand and model year or your boat with the appropriate glass color. The repair kit contains a paste and accelerant. You may need to add some tint to compensate for oxidation.
Also, as a word from the wise (actually..recently 'burned'), have the surveyor do a pressure test on the cooling system of the engines. My guy did not test and I must replace the exhaust elbows. Ugh!
Lots of luck.

Out of curiosity is that dark spot on the side a weep hole or something? it almost looks like this is a channel for water to run down to the stern cockpit, but I don't really understand what the intent of the design was.

It’s a drain from the threshold out side. I cleaned mine out as they were full off nasty crap and then water would start draining out. I didn’t like having nickel size holes running to the outside and letting bugs in so I use a cork in the hole.
