New-old Carver Monterey 2687 project
I am an inventioneer by nature and started out looking at boats of this size that weren't basket cases to recondition. All of the boats here are great lakes boats and probably haven't been in the salt. Most of the boats we looked at had big problems, mostly neglect. The Carver was owned by a marine mechanic and was in decent mechanical shape and had a newly rebuilt engine with a dyno sheet. He had been in an accident and needed to be in a smaller boat. I have been working on her for 9 months now and should be ready for the water in a couple months. Completely new plumbing, rewired everything, new helm seating and cabin cushions. Started over with a new camper top. All new electronics and had replica decals and striping to replicate the originals. New lonestar anchor winch. Solid boat all in all. The stern drive needs to come apart to check out and fix if needed. I own a tool and die shop and can design and fabricate almost anything so this has been a great diversion from the daily work. Hope to be able to contribute things of help to everyone.
