We got our 2001 350 Mariner in 2014 and we are really enjoying it. If you have any model specific questions I would be happy to share what I know.
BTW.
The first respondent (Viper)... has a wealth of info up here.

Re: 2000 Carver 350 Mariner - new to us
I had a deal on an 87 Chris Craft Catalina but I backed out of that deal when a chunk of the hull popped off of the bottom of the hull. I had my Admiral (wife) with me that day and she saw the 1981 Carver 3007 Aft Cabin listed for sale in the brokers sales room. She said we should go look at that boat. She liked what she saw in the pictures on the wall.
In early June we went to look over the Carver and within about 30 seconds she said to me, Buy It. We made an offer and countered back and forth a couple of times finally agreeing on a price. I finally closed the deal on August 14th. Only got her out a couple of times before the season ended.
Carver like Bayliner knows how to utilize space on board their boats. My 3007 is the first 30 foot boat I have ever seen with a separate shower stall. I hope to get more usage this season.
Good luck with your Carver purchase. Hope the survey and sea trial go well and you will get to enjoy your Carver.

I thought so. Glad to have you over here. You are correct there is a wealth of knowledge over at BOC. I did take a break there but decided to get a little more active over there too. I am right handed but we are still brothers, boating brothers that is.
It was funny though. The wife did not like the Chris Craft but when she saw the picture of the Carver she was intrigued. When we went to see it she was sold almost immediately. Carver does make a good boat but I will always have a fond feeling for the 5 Bayliners I have owned.
