Carver Owners Forum

Any suggestions on what has/ has not worked well for you? We just picked up this 1990 3807 and apart from the fridge and the bar (not that I'm complaining!), there is nothing there. As there is a banquette in the galley, do we really need another table and chairs? Maybe just chairs and a coffee table? I'm open to ideas and photos if you have them. We're generally travelling with 4-6 people aboard. Thanks!

I've seen several ideas from patio furniture to "pontoon" boat seating, to standard deck chairs. Pontoon boat seating is probably the most comfy, but certainly the hardest to move around, if you need to.

Hey Kenny Whaddya mean by pontoon seating? Thanks for the input!

Google "pontoon seating". It's modular seating that gets bolted to the deck but there is no reason you would need to bolt it down unless you frequent rough seas.

The one we are about to purchase have these.

I do believe those are pontoon seats that someone had the Carver logo added onto.

Thanks for the info, Tom.

If this type of seating interests you try Overton's.com
You can get custom colors and such at a reasonable price.

I knew a guy with a 48 Hat. He had custom seating made. Fiberglass frame with wrap around seating on top. Under the entire seating area was storage. When it was all done. It looked factory correct. The fiberglass wad painted with the same imron as the hull, and the vinyl matched the helm vinyl.
Very proper.
