Postby Msteph9834 » July 27th, 2018, 4:23 pm

Hello all,
My name is Mike. Proud to be a new member, and Carver owner.
I bought a 1974 Carver Santa Cruz 2565, OMC 225 stern drive. Have not had a chance to put it in the water yet, had to do a few repairs first( well didnt have to, but i felt i needed to).
But i am very excited to have it, and hopefully soon be able to put it in the water.

I have done a lot of work since then, and it is no longer called the Bonnie Blue. I have sanded, and painted the bottom, along with patching a few holes in the hull, replace the transom seal, tilt motor. Shined the stainless, and sealed the chines, and swim platform. And that is just the outside. lol
