Hey all together,

I am new here and maybe becoming part of the Carver Yachts community.
I am 33 yo from Germany and currently very interested in buying a 1980 Carver 28 Voyager.
The boat looks a bit bulky but brings a lot of storage room for 28ft lenght, as I am planning to move partly on the water (as a 2nd home).

I am looking for some advice regarding the model and the 2 crusader 5.7 L V8 engines.
The offer I am currently interested in is this one:

I've checked out the boat and took some pictures with which I hope to get some opinions and hints from the community. I've numbered the pics so that you could easily refere to them.

My questions would be:
- What do you generally say about the crusaders in terms of maintenance/parts availability & costs?
- What do you think about the V transmissions?
- Should I take a look on other specific things of the Carver 28 Voyager?

It would be great to get some answers? It will be my first own boat though I have a licence for already 17 years.
Thanks a lot for your statements!

See you,

Simon
