First time carver owner

Postby pondiscio@gmail.com » October 7th, 2022, 7:30 am

Hi all!
Pleased to be a noob in the carver community. Purchased an older 430 a few days ago and am ready for yet another refit. I've found it difficult to locate information about the 430's produced between 1991 and 1997. So Im hoping to get fast tracked by the forum to the locations and web sites that supply Carver specific components. Also offer my knowledge of boat systems. Look forward to meeting y'all on the water!

so..... I've been looking for vintage marketing information on the 430. Usually can find that stuff myself, but since this boat was produced before the internet was a mainstream thing, it's slim pickings online. Used to be available on the carver site... but that resource has evaporated. Anybody have any vintage marketing materials, videos, or brochures you are willing to share?
