Carver 405 / 406

Nice boat. I have the 405 now for 11 years. Love it.
We live aboard and having a lower helm would just take up space. With the covered upper helm I really can’t see the want for a lower. ( One more set of everything that needs to be maintained or fix)

If your still here on the forums, I may want to pick your brain... I just put in a contract on a 98 405.

Sure you can pick my brain.

Sure. Still here.

Hi there! New here, but I am looking for info on the 1998 405 and 1999 406. We love the layouts of them and the stairs off the platform rather than the ladder. We found a couple for sale that we are interested in seeing. There is some confusing info we are finding regarding hull composition. We read that anything ending with 5 and 6 have a balsa cored hull, but then also read that the boats manufactured in the late 90’s and newer were solid cored below the waterline. Does anyone know for sure?

I do have the CARVER 405 here in Florida.
Had it now for 14 years and love it.
Have no idea of which core is under the glass.

They do have a great layout!

We upgraded the entire interior . Quarts countertops through out. Wood floors and steps. All copper bowl sinks and large TV that disappears down into the wall. Tried to make more like a home inside instead of a boat since we are on it more than on land.
