Fresh Meat!
Just retired in May, have owned many smaller boats since the 70s, now moving up. Currently have a Sea Ray 38 aft cabin I'm going to sell. I'm looking at the Voyager line as I think they represent the high end esthetic class and still maintain some vintage elements of style. Will likely end up with the 530, but also looking at the 45/46 and the 56/560, although I can't for the life of me understand why the 56 was built. Maybe they already had a 56' mold?
One thing I know I'm going to have, or add is that cool automated remote control setup. If anyone has experience getting it installed, and using it, drop me a note with any advice. I will need to add a stern thruster first, and then the controller. My wife is semi-disabled and not able to do a lot of helping with lines. But - we love to get out on the boat, which means a fair amount of single person dockage.
Any other advice vis-a-vis Carvers and the Voyager line is welcome as well.

Re: Fresh Meat!
I found two with the hyd swim step that lowers. Sweet option. The build quality of the swim step is not as good as Carver in general but appears to be strong enough. Rated for 600Lbs. Maybe make an offer soon.
Winter boat shopping is fun. No pressure.
