HAVE A 57 FOOT 2001 BUILT CARVER. BLEW OUT FORWARD PORT HOLE. DOES ANYBODY HAVE AN IDEA WHER REPLACEMENT MAY BE ACQUIRED?

Hello all!

Just wondering if anyone knows what is the maximum one could get on a 3697 model? Just cruising around a lake area for an afternoon stroll-type situation.

Also, what would the original cost be of this model boat with all the bells and whistles possible?

Hello all,

Just wanted to show some before and after progress of the current generator rebuild. Got spare parts from a couple of places. One is from a guy in Florida who has thousands of Onan MCCK parts if anyone is interested in contacting him.

There is another Carver I want but have to sell my 1983 3607 Aft Cabin to afford it. My 3607 is in better than good shape. This is a clean well maintained boat. Bottom excellent with no blisters and recently re-painted two coats. repacked prop shafts and rudders. All electric and plumbing in good shape. Gelcoat nice and Interior beautiful. All thru hulls and seacocks replaced. Starboard engine re-done about 2.5 years ago and runs great with less than 12 hours since rebuild. Port engine recently replaced in past week. All gauges work and two tank floats replaced. Boat is really clean and comfortable. Looking up pricing this boat sells anywhere form 30K in rough shape to 100K in excellent shape. Looking for $65,000 and I am taking offers. It is in my slip at Ashley Marina, Charleston, SC. Call anytime at 843-830-5468 or email dmcom@att.net.

Just joined y’all’s forum I’m glad to see someone else loves these old carvers. I have what I was told by the previous owner a 1977 26 foot carver Santa Cruz. It needs a good bit of TLC but it’s been getting it slowly but surely. Before I repaint the boat I want to drop a new motor in it it had a 351w and omc electric shift. I have gathered up all new parts as the engine was seized and the boat sat in a slip for awhile before the previous owner got it and the out drive was corroded beyond repair. I have a new out drive that I rebuilt and intermediate housing with a GM bell housing. I’m really wanting to drop my 6.2 Detroit diesel in it I’ve already sourced marine manifolds and turbo and with a turbo I still won’t be making as much horse power or tourqe as the original motor. Everyone tells me it’s going to blow the out drive up so I figured I should get a second opinion. Does anyone know what kind of fuel economy I might be looking at? Thank you for any advice or ideas y’all might impart on me!

Has anyone had problems their insulator?
We have the Charles ISO-Boost 50
Ours stop working and is not getting power
to it. Dock pedestal has electric, power cord has electric, but no electric inside the boat. We have checked all breaker that we know of.
Wondering is there a fuse or breaker before the electric goes into the Insulator that could of blown?

2007 Carver 560 Voyager:
I had an attempted break into the living room area of my boat resulting in the PORT SIDE CENTER PANEL of the tinted glass being shattered.
I can see the original manufacturer of glass was: TREND TEMPERED GLASS 05 [this panel measures 48" wide X 36" high] and does have a bottom to top arc.
Any assistance is greatly appreciated, even if it's a part number, source for this part, or possible cad type drawing of that panel would be a big help.

During the sale of Carver Yachts, many of you read about my affiliation and friendship with K C Stock, previous owner of Cruisers Yachts and short time owner of Carver/Marquis. A truely "good man", who always treated his colleagues with respect and generousity. I learned a lot about life and attitudes from KC, a man with the Midas Touch. I felt compelled to offer this link in homage to him. He touched many lives! https://boattest.com/article/8-bells-ow ... e=hs_email

RIP KC! er

Hopefully, I can help another when the time comes...
Today I need some ideas...
Started out on a 7 day boat ride...
Fresh oil, fuel, plugs, wires, filters, 2 new heat exchangers...
First day...average 9 knots around 2300 RPM for...8/9 hours...uneventful day....stopped for fuel and slip.
Next AM....2 hours in...port engine....RPM's drop to 1000 then 2000 then 1000....fluctuating...tried increasing the throttle...throttle wouldn't move up/increase....ran around 1200 RPM and matched the port engine the same and limped along. Got to a marina....mechanic does his diagnosis...replaced the coil and control module....next morning...underway fine.
Port engine no issues. 7 hours in....SB engine...acting up...same symptoms as port. Stopped...mechanic comes out...replaces coil and module also.
Underway...few hours in...SB cutting out....lower the throttles and mosey along...1800 rpm's...
SB acts up still...after a few hours....
Doing research...cause so far... money spent been....questionable...
Engines do NOT overheat....180° area..
Oil pressure is fine..
Transmission issues ruled out.....
1020 hours on engines....
Concensus is.. we all agree to disagree.....
Half say...electrical issue...half say.. fuel injection issue...
Paying a tech...to guess...essentially just swap out parts...wasted money. Both techs hooked up....some code reader with flashing red light and went from that point..
Just before the engine acts up...tried increasing the throttle...gas lever...won't allow me to go up...down is fine....
Suggestions...
Pompano Beach area...
Thank you for reading and potential replies...
