Hi from Wisconsin! Shopping for a Carver
Posted: October 16th, 2020, 9:57 am
Hi folks,
I've been in the hunt for our next boat for a year now and have come across a few that could have worked, but with the market being busy these days, we've missed out on a couple of them already. I currently own a 2002 Regal 2665 Commodore that we've had for 3 seasons now, and this is our 7th boat in the last 20 years. The next boat will be a motor yacht and we've looked at Mainship 34 MY's, a couple of Silverton's, a Bayliner 3888, and a handful of Carvers (3, 3607's, and a 355).
We've pretty much nailed down the fact that we do want a Carver...and it's down to the 325, 33, 355, or 356 at this point. The 3607 would still be a contender if the right one came along. My biggest blocker for one's with 38-39' LOA's is I am in a 35' slip, and marina "rules" say no overhang...although almost every boat in my marina overhangs the slip. I may be able to get away with it, but that is why the 325 is in the mix. 40' slips are hard to come by right now.
Anyway, just wanted to say hi, get my first post out here, and start to look around.
