Hi everyone, I'm a new CYO member with my first Carver, a 1993 380 AC. LOVE this boat!

Bought it in Oct 2019 in Port Clinton, OH on Lake Erie. Took two full months to find a facility and to get on their schedule to remove the arch and hardtop, as well as, pull all the running gear out. Just a really bad time of year given that all the marinas were pulling and winterizing their customers. Finally, it was transported via tractor trailer and delivered in Dec 2019 on Friday the 13th... seamed a fitting date given the saga. There was absolutely no damage and all the connections were well marked. Now she's all put back together in the Pittsburgh, PA area.

She was missing the port side corner extrusion on the aft deck; from what I saw online, this is a common issue. Fortunately I have about 25 years experience managing fabrication and manufacturing facilities, and was able to reverse engineer the port side corner from the existing starboard side corner. Now I have drawings of both the starboard and port corners.

I had it fabricated from aluminum sheet and then powder coated. It turned out great! The small piece of acrylic that goes from the port corner to the swim deck ladder was also missing, so I made a new one. Having that corner properly closed up feels good and it looks great!

I wanted to share my purchase and disassembly experience in the event that someone needs help in the Port Clinton / Marble Head, OH area. Also, if anyone needs a new corner for their aft deck, I can help.
