2000 350 Mariner questions
Posted: July 4th, 2021, 4:19 am
Hi. I am new to carver and the Mariner. I have a contract on a 2000 350. The boat seems to be in decent condition for its age. It has the 5.7 Crusader engine option. Are the 300hp crusaders enough on this boat? Any idea of what my cruise speed and fuel burn should be? How do these boats handle rough water? I am not taking it off shore but will use it on the Chesapeake bay and Potomac river. Anything specific to look for when doing my sea trial or during the survey? Thanks for any advice.
