New boat owner
Posted: December 2nd, 2017, 9:01 am
Hi,
I am a first-time boat owner. I recently purchased a 1983 Carver 2807 Riviera (aft cabin) and am using it as a liveaboard. The boat had been abandoned for a number of years so it is in rough shape. I have given it a good cleaning and now am ready to start repairing it. I am a bit overwhelmed at the list of things that I need to fix so I am trying to prioritize the list to tackle the most critical ones first. My primary needs are heat, plumbing, and new windows (the existing ones are broken and leak).
Any suggestions on where to purchase replacement parts and/or how to troubleshoot/repair existing systems?
Thanks for any advice you can give. I am so glad that I found this discussion board.
