Almost Owners of 2003 356

Postby Sadey » September 18th, 2018, 5:05 pm

Survey/sea trial scheduled for Thursday September 20, 2018. Fingers crossed it all goes well. Spent the better part of a day reading everything 356 on this website. What a great group of people with a tremendous depth of knowledge. Hope to participate as new owners!
Thank you for the help!

Welcome to our forum. Hope your sea trial is a successful one and you will soon be Carver owners. If all does go well we would love to see some pics of your new toy. Good luck.

Very anxious. One owner boat in near perfect condition but very low hours on the hobbs. Less then 250 so having a complete survey with thorough engine inspection, compression, ECU etc... Weather in Chicago tomorrow is supposed be 15-20 out if the southeast. Not great for a sea trial. We will see. Once the deal is done I will be happy to post pictures. Don’t want to jinx it.
Thank you for the help!

Can't wait to see the pics. :popcorn: :beergood:

Hope all goes well.

Post engine serial numbers and I'll see if any red flags pop up.
