HI All,
We just purchased a 1996 Carver 325 Aft Cabin. The boat is in pretty good shape but what sold us on the purchase was the replacement of the engines and transmissions in 2019.
Looking forward to boat projects and perusing this board for help.
Does anyone have suggestions for either a hard top or bimini top to cover the aft deck?
Regards!

There's a thread on here where a member made his own. It was the older version of your boat, the 3207, but the concept is the same. You just need to be ambitious enough to take it on!!
On the other hand, a friend in our marina has a 350 Mariner. The previous owner had an aluminum hardtop made for that boat and had it powdercoated white. Looks great and probably lighter than a fiberglass version.

Welcome aboard! I would suggest looking into a local vendor to make you one. We did that on our Carver prior to selling it and it was reasonable and looked great.
