View the latest post Boat rail screens...where to find?
- Posted by: afirebrand » February 27th, 2014, 6:44 am
- Forum: General Boating Discussion
Has anyone seen any rail screens like the one on this boat?
http://www.chitwood-charters.com/56FootCarverPOP18.html
My 560 has only plain rails and I don't want my little nephews wriggling through the rails. The rail screen looks nice and it'd serve a great purpose.
If anyone's seen anything like those screens, let me know!
Thanks!

- Forum: Gas Engines/Transmissions
We have a1996 430 Carver. We believe the previous owners knew there was issues with the fuel tanks but did not disclose. We took out the starboard tank, found several rust pin holes. We cant remove the port unless we take engine out. So my question is there a bladder or something we can put inside the tanks without having to remove?

No pics to show yet, but I've started buffing and waxing...only have the flybridge shell to do. She is shining better than last year...it's quite impressive for a 16 year old boat! We're also making new curtains for the entry door and I'm installing underwater lighting after I sand off all of the red bottom paint and change it to black. Why the previous owner changed it to red is beyond me...especially with the green canvas!

Hello, joined the club last week. Going from a Regal 3560 Cruiser to a 2005 Carver 396. Looking forward to the change. I am sure I will be reaching out to the group for some advice.

View the latest post Attachment(s) 560 rear table...how to order?
- Posted by: afirebrand » February 23rd, 2014, 8:40 pm
- Forum: General Boating Discussion
My '06 560 didn't come with a rear dining table and I'm interested in adding it on.
Does Carver only sell through dealers or can I order from them directly? Do they have a parts list?
Sorry! I'm new to the Carver world.
Thanks in advance.
The factory table option looks like this.

I think its treated cherry like the interior.

- Posted by: Vetterman » February 21st, 2014, 5:41 pm
- Forum: General Boating Discussion
Looks like the wife and I are going to get a 1996 38 santigo and it currently has an older small tube TV in the "hole" that made sence for such TV's in the mid 90's and will be replacing that with a new flatscreen but was wondering about a sound system.
Is there a car audio deck that anyone has ever installed that has HDMI (I know all of them have RCA inputs) or something similar so my TV sound comes through the multiple speakers in the boat??
Would look nice and be cleaner then trying to jam a standard home reciever deck into some cubby hole.
Also - (and as I am new to boats) I assume whatever current sound system is in the main salon (I did not see a seperate sound deck on the flybridge) that the sound comes through all speakers everywhere on the boat including the bridge - or is that commomly set up as an A and B system where you can select what zone or area you want to hear.
Thanks
Dave

- Forum: Carver Yachts Forum - Model Discussion
I'm sorry if this is the wrong place to post this...but I'm a newbie.
My 560 arrives next week and i'm a germ-a-phobe.
I'd like to buy new linen for my master cabin where I'll be sleeping.
Does any queen linen fit? Comforters too? Or does it have to be a specific carver size.
I just cant remember the bed well enough to say.
I know the bunks and VIP stateroom are custom.
Thanks in advance!

Hi, I'm a new member. Just bought an '06 560 Voyager and waiting for it to be delivered next week.
Excited to own a carver. Upgrading from my 03 Chaparral 320 will be fun.

- Forum: Carver Yachts Forum - Model Discussion
Hello, Glad to see the Carver forum. They are a very valuable tool to learn and share information. I am about to become the owner of a 2005 model 396 Carver. I am going from a 3560 Regal Cruiser and very excited about the model change for a whole lot more room. I am doing the survey this Friday and just thought I would ask if there is anything specific I should look for with this model. Thanks in advance Bob
