Need Boat Buying Advice
I am new to this forum. I currently do not own a Carver, but I am seriously considering it. I am looking at a 1977 Carver Santa Cruz with a 240 Penta stern drive. It appears to me to be well maintained. If anyone could tell me anything about this model it would be greatly appreciated. Value, pros,cons adn stuff to look out for. Thanks

Re: Need Boat Buying Advice
Best money you will ever spend.
Don't fall in love with a boat before you get a survey report. That would be the worst mistake you could make, falling in love first.
When selecting a surveyor, ask around and look for the SOB that found everything wrong. He's the guy you want.

Re: Need Boat Buying Advice
Now currently have contract on 2005 41CMY with surveys scheduled for 9/16/14.
Hopefully, in early Oct., I will be an owner....
Needless to say, never short cut the survey process....saved me a bundle of money and future frustration!
