Hello from Huntsville Alabama

Postby Starfish Prime » November 10th, 2023, 4:54 pm

Hello, thanks for adding me as a member.

Previously owned a 1977 Santa 'Fe 26' and sold it 10 years ago. Loved that boat.
Looking at a 1981 Montego 2357 cruiser, not the fishing version. It has the v-berth with kitchenet and nice big aft area.
I have heard that these were built on the fishing hull so I would guess they are pretty capable in 3' chop.

Not a lot of info on these boats. Would love to hear from any owners and any pics if ya got 'em.
Also any links to info would be appreciated.

Going to check the boat out Sunday 11-12-23. Hope it woks out. Excited about restoring it.

Glad to be here,
Cheers!

First... WELCOME ABOARD!

Tried looking the up in the PowerBoat Guidebook and coming up enpty-handed. Didn't know Carver made something below 25' in the 80's. Do you mean a 3257? Even so, the earliest version of that I see is a 1987.

Good luck finding info, hope it works out. Take some pics of the one you are looking at. Could jog some memories for members. Also, look at the last two digits of the hull id number. May clear up any confusion around model year. Welcome aboard. 8-) er
