Buying 2006 Carver 44 MY
Considering buying 2006 Carver 44 MY.
Its a fresh water vessel, 256 hrs. on the Volvo D6 - 370 hp Diesel engines.
Planning on moving it to the west coast, Vancouver Island.
I'm not familiar with this model so has anyone had experience with the Carver 44, good or bad, trying to find a reason not to buy it?
For a vessel that's 11 years old, not many hours on the engines, is this good?
Moving the yacht, is it a big deal, I'm told the arch has to be removed ( bridge clearance with arch = 18.0 ft.), will this cause problems later?
Is this vessel under powered with 370 hp diesel engines?
The attraction is its a fresh water boat and I can move it to the salt water for 3 or 4 years without big problems from salt, then I would sell it?
Any comments would be greatly appreciated!

Re: Buying 2006 Carver 44 MY
You simply do not remove the arch. The hard top, wing doors and entire bridge need to come off and then put back on which is a huge job. Depending on where you live and how much they charge, I would budget in a minimum of $10,000 and maybe up to $18,000 to have her taken apart and put back together. You will also need to consider maybe 2 loads for transportation as I personally cannot see getting the disassembled parts on just 1 truck.
Check out the pictures in the link of my signature, this will give you a good idea of the rather involved disassembly process. Which reminds me, I need to add a bunch of pictures to my album.

As far as transport is concerned, unless the boat is land-locked, I'd seriously consider following @mjk1040's advice. Hire a captain and have it transported by water. It would be much lower risk, and much less expensive.
