We are looking at. 99, Carver 406 that started its life in Virginia, then 13 years in New York, then North Carolina. Don’t know if those were fresh or saltwater years. In May of this year someone bought it, put roughly 200 hours spending the summer with wife and 3 small children taking it from NC to the Florida Keys. They finished the summer in the pan handle and now want a bigger boat. The boat appears to be in very good shape. New owner replaced all fuel lines and hoses. That was the only thing of substance that came from the pre purchase survey that I saw from last May. If bought, it will live on the TN river. I’ve always been in fresh water and don’t know much about boats that live in saltwater. It has Cummins 6BTA engines with 1017 hours. Going to see it this week. Would love advice on what to look for, what’s no big deal and what to avoid. We currently have a 3807 and have a lot of experience, it’s just always been with fresh water boats.
Thanks in advance,
Vic
