-Our new to us 1987 Carver 4207
We purchased this "used to be beautiful and we can bring her back to her glory" ol' girl in November of 2022. After literally hundreds of hours, we're nearly done!
We wanted to take a moment to share some "after pics" as the before pics would be just too dang much to handle!
Needless to say, we've done our best to truly touch every square inch of this ol' girl and put some much needed love back into her. We keep the boat in Osage Beach at Lake of the Ozarks and have found some great folks to help with those items out of our purview.
List of what had others help us with:
MANY many blisters professionally repaired on bottom of boat
Full bottom paint
Full gel coat buff and wax
Both props reshaped, buffed out
New bimini tops
New isinglass (not installed, but we have it)
New marine carpeting in aft deck and helm station
New upholstery on exterior areas
New helm station cover (not shown in picture)
New front window covers
List of what we (my wife and I) did:
All port hole windows repainted
All exterior teak completely redone
Windlass replaced (with new Good Windlass) and added a new Lewmar claw anchor
New aft deck furniture
New Garmin chart plotter
Caulked/siliconed exterior
Fully detailed helm station
Replaced all boat fenders with new 10x28
Replaced all docking lines with quality 5/8ths
Fully cleaned, prepped and polished ALL exterior stainless (man, it came back amazing!)
New LED daylight 12v lights
New LED nav, anchor lights
Interior
New 12v daylight lights everywhere
New 120v daylight lights everywhere
Sanded, primed, painted and epoxied all countertops
Removed all old wallpaper, prepped and painted a light tan/greige color
Removed ALL valances, curtains, soft-goods material, headboards, etc and replaced with brand new AND with new foam
New high-end foam mattresses front and rear with new bedding, etc
Replaced all interior "mirrored areas" with 3x6 inch beveled mirrors.
Replaced all interior carpet
Replaced hot water heater with 120v (non heat exchanger style) 20 gallon
Converted both motors to electric ignition; distributor cap, capacitor, rotor, plugs and wires
Replaced both tranny wax seals
New toilets front and aft
New fresh water pump
New ac main 1k GPH pump
New salon furniture
New mid-bilge pump with float lever
Refinished all teak/red mahogany
Replaced DC stereo system (aftermarket)
I'm sure there are many more items but that's good for now...here's some pics!

This is a project my wife and I have been wanting to tackle. Yours looks great! We have a lot of hatches and steps so it's a little intimidating! Nice job!!
