1988 Carver 3807 Clearance Height?

Postby AskDrCaryn » September 11th, 2019, 2:37 pm

I'm a New User and New Owner (see intro in New Members Forum). Trying to determine the Clearance for my 1988 Carver 3807. I'm thinking it's about 20 feet, but cannot find anything in any specs.

I used to have a 3807 and while I can't answer your question, pretty sure it's not that high.
One thing we did do since we were in a covered slip, we replaced our anchor light with one that was hinged at the base. That cut our clearance almost 1-1/2 feet

The spec sheet at Carver yachts shows the bridge clearance to be 15’4” with the optional arch. Here’s a link https://carveryachts.blob.core.windows. ... bin_88.pdf

Add at least another 5-6 inches for your bimini. Anything else mounted to your arch besides the anchor light?

Looks like you could measure from the highest point to the dock with a 2x4 and string, then add to the water.....that way you know for sure.....
The above is strictly my opinion always based on years of doing...remember to support local business , it pays back.
