Re: Carver C34
I really do not like the idea of no radar arch - where are you supposed to mount a radar array, and support tall antennas? Sure you can mount a closed dome in front of you and blank the microwave transmission at yourself, but I like to see what's coming up from the rear, especially in a foggy area.
What were they thinking????????

How did you know that it has a closed cooling system? I had to ask the salesman and he had to check with Carver.

Re: Carver C34
The raw water will remove the heat from the antifreeze just like air does in a car. The salt water never gets into the engine cooling system at all.

Thanks Waybomb, I'll look for that. I still haven't taken possession of the boat yet. It's currently over in Oakland getting the radar arch and electronics installed. It is far easier to buy a house!
