New 1997 405 Aft Cabin

Postby Northstar850 » August 13th, 2018, 7:30 pm

Hello All!

We will be picking up our new 1997 405 Aft Cabin next Monday in Newport News, VA and bringing her to her new home in Edgewater, New Jersey (Northern NJ, NYC, GW Bridge Area). This is our first Carver (we have owned Bayliners, Silvertons and our current boat a 1988 Mainship 36C). We have been live aboards since 2012 (Hurricane Sandy destroyed our town, and it was a good excuse to move aboard! Lol!). This is our first Carver, it has some more complicated systems, like a VAC U Flush, but we are up for the challenge! Our new boat has spent it’s entire life in freshwater and only has 202 hours on the engines and 221 hours on the generator. The boat is a “tweenie”. The hull is a 1997, but it was built in 1998. I am a third generation boater, but have limited knowledge when it comes to the engines. Any help or advice anyone can give me would be appreciated! The current name of the boat is: “About Time” but we plan to change it to “Island Breeze”. Fair Seas to all! Geoff.
