Purchasing a Carver Riviera 2807 - Opinions?
I am new to the site and hoping I can pick some brains on the Carver Riviera 2807. I have been a fan of Carvers ever since I had pictures of them posted up on my wall as a teenager! We are in the final stages of purchasing a 1983 Carver Riviera 2807 and I was hoping to hear from anyone who has owned one regarding the pros, cons, things to watch out for, their experiences with the boat etc.
Thanks so much!

Very good boat.
The only hard thing about it was engine access.
Learned the best thing to do is remove the seats and everything else, and then engine room work was easy
