Well, the Montego I recently acquired is near mint condition below decks because it was used specifically for fishing Lake Superior, so I have some hefty down rigger plates mounted on the gunwales. But the rear deck bench seat and seat back have long been discarded.

Would someone be willing to take some photos of what I am having to recreate? Maybe a photo of the underside with some rough measurement? I contacted Bryan at Marquis and of course they no longer have any info on that part including drawings even though they manufactured it. The gunwale part of the chrome bracket is there but I have no idea what the other part that must be on the seat frame is supposed to look like either (bracket/hinge?)and it looks as the port end is supported by the fiberglass ledge?

I know a simple solution would be just to by some nice deck chairs but my 6 year old and wife would really like to have the couch/bench.

Anyone know of a frame or entire seat in a derelict boat anywhere?

Thanks!

Can anyone give me an idea of what the original price would have been back when new, for a typical 1988-1990 38 ft 3807 aft cabin?

Thanks,
Thom

I'd like to get some input and your opinions on this boat. We made an offer on it today. 2004 Carver36 Sport Sedan. It has 8.1 Liter Gas Volvos. Both thrusters.

I have an auto-synchronizer. The port engine is showing "-----" and the starboard engine is reading accurate RPM's. I recently had new electronic ignitions installed by service department (first mistake) and now RPM readings on tachometer for port side are all over the place (mostly reading high) and sync not working (again reading zero "----" on port side digital read-out. Any ideas?

Well, we just packed up our "new" boat a Carver Mariner. Trusting that the marina will winterize it for us properly. Already looking forward to next season, but wondering if there are any other Carver boat owners on Lake of the Woods???? Would like to chat etc.

Hello,

I have a 1977 Carver Camper 2276. The Electronic Shifter Switch is bad. I am hoping to find a good deal on this, as money is super tight right now but I really want to be able to get out on the boat more soon. There is a guy here in town that has rebuilt ones, but he wants $220. Way more than I can afford at the moment. Please help!!

It has the OMC drive.

I have a '94 Carver 300 AFT Cabin with 350 Mercursier engines. Just out of no where, when I engage the starter ignition switches, nothing happens. Now I haven't used this boat much this season. But have only ran it about 3 times all season. But each time it has fired right up. I have tried nudging the transmission levers while trying to start just to be sure it wasn't the neutral safety switches. But that didn't do anything. Out of necessity, I did heavily wash/hose down the helm one day. Shortly there after I started having this problem. I thought that I may have shorted the ignition switches some way so I have replaced those....No Change. Any suggestions?????

I am an owner of a 82" 3007 aft cabin. The years of neglect have been noticeable. The cracks are pumping up my OCD to the point of overload. I am wondering if regel coat is best,or paint. COST is not the issue. 3 month owner.

I'm selling my 2000 Carver 406 Aft Cabin Motor Yacht. I'm asking $139,900.00. She's in pretty good shape for being 15 years old. Only 1,000 hours on her 370 hp Cummings diesels. The boat is in Connecticut. I will be posting more pictures soon.

My new to me 3007 Aft Cabin carries 93 gallons of water in her tanks plus another 12 when full in the water heater. I noticed upon filling the tanks that after a couple of days the water started to smell. Taste was OK but the smell left a lot to be desired.

I do not know when the water system was last sanitized. I was kind of hoping that I could hold off until next season. On Wednesday I decided to do it now. I could not wait. I bought 4 gallons of chlorine bleach. I poured the bleach into the tanks. I waited for the tanks to level out then I slowly filled them. Once they were full and water was coming out of the vent lines I ran about 13 gallons of water through the water heater and then flushed all lines until I could smell the chlorine.

I work Friday so the chlorine will set in the tanks and lines until Saturday afternoon sometime when I will be back at the boat. I will flush all the bleach/water from the system and then refill. I hope this takes care of the stinky water for the near future.

BTW, of all the boats I have owned throughout the years this is the first time I have had a freshwater system "problem".
