1987 Carver Riviera aft-cabin cruiser. It is in very good condition. It has been used on the Great Sacandaga Lake on a large Adirondack Mountain lake in upstate New York the last three seasons. Runs awesome! It has two 305 Crusader V8 motors which makes maneuvering easy. Using one engine in reverse, and the other engine in forward, the boat can be turned in place in circles in either direction. The interior has custom cherry wood as shown in the pictures. It has a forward cabin with a triangular table and seating next to a galley with refrigerator/freezer, stainless steel sink, cupboards, and electric/alcohol stove. The table may be lowered to create a bedroom. There is a head in the front cabin with a manual pump toilet. It could probably use a rebuild kit. The head has it's own sink, shower, and cupboards. There is also an aft cabin with a double bed and twin bed, with its own sink. The motor hour gauges read 215.8 and 213.6 hours. We believe the motors were rebuilt then because of how well it runs. In attempting to track down the Carver's history, I was told that the transmissions were rebuilt at one point as well. The boat has always been in fresh water; the Thousand Islands in upstate New York for a good portion of its life. The boat has the optional hardtop, very hard to find one of these with this option. The boat was pulled out of the water for the season recently and is being serviced, cleaned, and stored at Gordon's Marina in Mayfield, NY. This boat is fully capable of being used on the Intracoastal Waterway and driven to Florida if you wish. It has additional gauges such as, depth, temperature, and speed, and fuel fume alert testing. There is a moveable AC unit that is not currently on the boat but will be included. It has a swim platform and ladder on the back. There is a significant documentation, logs, and manuals. Up in the top cabin, there is a table that seats four, storage, screened windows, and captain's chair at the console. The boat has an electric windlass anchor, stainless steel spotlight, and a small cooler to keep beverages close at hand. It has a top speed of about 20 MPH. The boat is well-known for its compact and functional design. It is only 28 feet in length, but its 11'2" width gives it significant usable space inside. It has a 2'9" draft, and weighs 9200 pounds. It has been an awesome boat for us, especially anchoring and swimming off it. We are selling our home, wife is retiring, and we are downsizing. Do not hesitate to send me any questions you may have. It's storage includes launch on the Great Sacandaga Lake next spring. Asking $14,500 or best offer. P.S. I have no idea why some of the pictures are not right side up, and I do not know how to correct them on the site. Sorry . . .

If you hold down the "fan" button, it will cycle from automatic mode into manual mode and then through each fan speed. I think on mine it starts at "1" and goes up to "6".

Get a infrared thermometer and measure the air coming out of the vent. The thermometers are cheap to buy now on Amazon and are handy for a bunch of other things. It would be better to know exactly what "moderately cool" means numerically before we can offer a suggestion.

Also, there is a reversing valve on top of the unit that can get stuck. You can gently tap on it with a mallett and it may become "unstuck".

If you DON'T want to work on a boat this one is seriously ready to go - new power & refit - Sad to let my beauty go but we want more staterooms and another head. Check out the pics by clicking the link below: - you will be impressed.

Looking for a diverter that will direct the shower water back into the shower instead of allowing it to drip down and out of the shower onto the floor.

our 1990 Santego shower door does NOT have a diverter to direct the water back into the shower. it just runs down the door and outside of the shower, which has now lifted the linoleum. Actually I'm glad as I wanted new teak/holly flooring in the head anyway. But I have to fix the water problem before I get the new floor. Does anyone know where I can find this item? We tried using one that I special ordered from Home Depot but it's not doing the job.

Just bought a 2004 360 mariner.

Curious if you guys have pics of your seating setup in rear above engine hatches as well in the fly bridge. What kind of chairs do you recommend. What table size. Do you use umbrellas or do you have canvas etc. Basically what have you added to this model you think would be a pro tip for other owners.
Please share or show and tell is better. We all like pics!
THX in advance

Hello All,
I am getting new anchor chain and rope for my 405. Looking in the anchor locker on how to secure the rope, I see the is no eye bolt or secure point to attach the rode. Totally surprised. What have you done? Is there sufficient structure in the locker floor to install a hard point?
I am also considering a Rocna 20 or 45 lb Manson Supreme. Anyone have these on their boat and how did you set them up?
Your comments and suggestions are appreciated.
Jim

First time Carver owner, we've recently bought a 1982 Carver 3607 Aft Cabin. Its set with twin gas power plants, so this will be new for me too, having previously owned a single-screw diesel trawler. So far, I'm fairly impressed with the Carver's overall form and function. The interior is very durable and seem to hold its shape well, but their exposed deck materials seem to age less gracefully than other boats I've experienced in the past. We may spend weekends throughout the fall and coming winter enjoying its space and doing some exterior cleaning, refinishing and repairing as needed. I look forward to the DIY experience posted here in the forums.

Hello
Can anyone please tell me what the clearance is from the waterline to the top of the arch.
Yachtworld says 20 feet but that seems way to much for a 42 foot boat.
Thanks

Hello all. My name is Bill and I currently don't own a Carver but am looking at a Santego 3067. Joined to find out as much information as I can before committing to purchase. The owner says the boat needs to be completely re-powered, so that is my hesitation. So, if anyone has stories/opinions of early '90s Santego, I would appreciate hearing them.
Thanks in advance;
Bill
