Hi all,
Im looking at a 1995 Carver 250 mid cabin express. 5.7 mercruiser with a Bravo111. Hull is good. Current owner bought new boat and is looking to sell for $2500. Needs a good cleaning and TLC. Its a Long Island boat.
What do you all think please?

Hi just purchased a 355 aft cabin, our first boat. Would love some suggestions as to what kind of TV to put in the main room (parlor???), pardon my newbie ignorance. Was wondering if anyone has done a projection tv? where? where did you put the screen?

Open to all ideas. Previous owner removed all TV's and a lot of other stuff before we picked it up.

would love to see photos.

Thank you.

Recently purchased our first boat, a 1996 355 Aft Cabin. We are trying to winterize our boat. A handyman can't figure out to winterize the icemaker. Should there be a water cutoff inside?

We don't want to shut off all water because we will be living on board. This new USED boat thing can be a little overwhelming.

Thank you.

LOOKING FOR A CARVER DECK BOX FOR A 1999 356

The wife and I have 2006 Carver 36MY with 8.1L VolvoPenta Gas motors. We're are the 3rd owners and currently moored in Elliot Bay Marina.



During our first dive hull maintenance by J&J diving, after scrubbing the boat and some of the Zincs they noted we had prop damage. J&J pulled props and sent to "the Prop Shop" in Mukilteo WA who trued and straightened them. I then called to ask "what are they?" as I could not find a definitive answer as to what was or should be installed on the b ...

Took my 370 out for a two hour cruise and when we came back the fresh water tanks were empty. Thought it might be the T & P valve so I replaced that but when I hooked the water back up the water heater was leaking a lot from the bottom, it was like a small river so turned off the fresdh water pump and bypassed the water heater so now we only have cold water.



Have been trying to figure out how the water heater can come out of the engine room area. The widest section is the middle but that is ...

Anybody have this done recently? Cost? I'm going to have it done next year.

The Kohler generator I have is a 7.4 KW 1800 RPM unit that generally runs but is ailing and most parts are NLA.

I have been eyeing used westerbeke units and most I can find are only 5kw, which is probably fine but also are 3600rpm.

How much louder will a 3600 be vs an 1800? Will the "exhaust tone" be that much more annoying vs the low rumble of an 1800 RPM unit?

Let us not forget...........Thank you for your service.......

Now that many of us have docked 'on the hard' for the winter, it may be a good time to reflect on the season and share a lesson that was learned this past boating season.

No matter how experienced we may be, it seems that one can never stop growing in knowledge; especially the kind that is gained by experience and a 'wee bit' of stress.

I will go first!

The 'hardest' lesson I learned this season is the importance of checking more than one (1) weather app when deciding to move along to the next dest ...
