I've read elsewhere about purpose-made conversion systems, but don't remember brand names or details. I think many start with J1939 (?) stuff......
1998 boat. Just-previous owner had the boat for 18 years, and apparently didn't change or tune the props that came to him. Any reason to suspect...
Ah. Better info. Didn't know. Sorry to have misled... -Chris
Can't speak to sizes, but Carver is still in business... so you may be able to discuss with them, If a real prop guy told me the props are "plain...
Once the engines are made right... it's not uncommon to do a WOT test... or use the results you have if the bottom was sufficiently clean and the...
Electrics (lights, gauges, etc.), electronics (plotters, radars, etc.), and "helm controls" (gears, throttles, steering, etc.) tend to be slightly...
Can't comment on the Navigator. Our SR hull is solid below the waterline, but predecessor and some other models apparently aren't... if that's...
Hum a few bars about your background and experience. Are you at the "never had a boat before" stage, or at the other end of the spectrum and...
We've been given a few, as we've met cruisers over the years... So I made a boat card for us... but usually forget to give one to anybody. The...
Usually nearer the stern, because usually that's where you'd board the boat. Can vary. Just keep using the Reply button. Do it right or do it...

Perhaps it was just about presentation and order. Specifying an upfront "sea trial" in your offer -- prior to your sequence of "wet survey in...
Yeah, there IS that... -Chris
Ref broker, sure. But if he wants to sell boats -- not just list boats -- he should likely be advising the seller about what's necessary to get...
Seems like now that you know more about what to expect -- and seller and broker hopefully are learning from you -- could end up being fine once...
Compare the Carver 32 Mariner to a Mainship 350/390. Another "Chevy." Slightly larger, but not hugely so. Single or twin engine versions...
Agree, but OP mentioned seller restrictions... -Chris
Somewhat dependent on how much money you have to throw away... when you create a Frankenboat. If you repower with enough diesel to replicate...
I guess Autohelm predates our SmartPilot, then... -Chris
The Powerboat Guide says cruise is 24-24 kts. I suspect that's a typo, though, maybe with 675s in the 560 I'd WAG more like 20-22 kts for typical...
