Hello all,



My name is Scott Swaney. I've been boating on the Hudson River for 19 years. My prior boats were a 1997 Maxum 2100 bow rider for fun in the sun, and a 2002 Rinker 342 express cruiser that has covered from Lake Champlain to Long Island Sound many times.



My new-to-me boat is a 1996 Carver 455. Although I know a good bit about boats and boating in general, I am making the transition from gas to diesel power so I have a whole lot to learn. I look forward to hearing and sharing stories a ...

New to this forum and I am hoping to locate someone who will be selling their Carver 444 CMY in the near future.



We’re located in Seabrook, Texas and REALLY don’t want to have to go too far from home i.e. Florida as that will add thousands of dollars to the cost by the time we fly back and forth 3 - 4 times...not to mention the gas and time to get her home.



Also, we’re concerned about buying inland as the radar arch (at least) would have to be removed. That in and of itself isn’t an issue, I’m w ...

I’m looking to buy another salon table like this one.

I had my 1994 390 CPMY shrink wrapped AGAIN this year. The marina will not let anyone in to wrap. But themselves, So I had to grin and bear it to the tune of $1475.00! (OUCH!) I am on Cape Cod so we get SOME snow, sometimes a decent amount, but mostly none. I was thinking of a. Winter flybridge cover to protect the bridge from the elements. Then I would remove the rear enclosure side curtains and let it stay exposed, as the carpeting is also removable. Anyone use a winter cover or had a lead on ...

Anyone have any idea where to get the wall controller for the a/c-heater for a 2000 carver 356 ???

Hello everyone:



New to the group and just purchased a 2000 Carver 396 in Chattanooga and will be bring the vessel upstream to home base in Knoxville. The boat has what I believe to be the original equipment chart plotter a SIMRAD CP 30(?). I am wondering if anyone has replaced such a unit and if there might be a "plug and play" replacement. Not looking forward to a whole system replacement but any experience or suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance for any thoughts on the ...

Hello. On my Carver 28 i have 2 different transmission cooler on is about 25cm long and the other 40cm long. Is there any reason or did someone just replace one with something that was easy to find?.

And where can i find the correct one with shipping world wide?.

Why i want to change is because the "End" on one of them popped off and seawater started flowing so i want to change both to have it done.

Ok folks I need some help. I have a 1987 3207 with dual 30amp shore power connectors. They lead to 2 separate 110volt AC buses, each protected by a separate main breaker (pictured below), one has gone bad. Anyone have any idea on a source for these.

Has anyone created a model of their boat? Custom boat modelers charge large sums of money for their beautiful creations but with the advances in 3D printers it might be an economical way to "print" the basic structure and then one could add external parts such as horns, railings, etc. Nice project for the winter months. Sort of like the Revell models I built when I was a kid.
