I've just started looking online at some Carver boats and getting a little confused. For instance, what is the difference between Carver 460 and...
I started looking at some Carver boats and think they might fit us even better. Thanks for steering me in that direction. I'm having trouble...
I really appreciate your taking the time to help out an ignorant fool like me.:) As for accommodations, we would always have my wife and me, but...
Boat Trader and Yachtworld ads look identical. I just find Boat Trader website a little easier to search, but that could just be that I'm more...
That's the boat. And the ad says it has bow thrusters. What is the difference between Express and Express Motoryacht? And how do you tell if...
I guess this is the right forum for this.... I have been looking at some ads for Cruisers Yachts 415 Express 41' and would really like to hear...

Now, that makes some good sense. Not only for the insurance company's needs, but for the experience of operating the boat. This is a good...
It would obviously be used mostly by my wife and me, just cruising around, and overnight stays. But, we would like to have enough comfortable...
As for boating experience, it's exclusively fresh water, fishing boats in 20' and under. Hiring a Capt. &/or crew is not a good choice for us....
Hopefully this is a place that I can get some real useful information about boat ownership. I'm just in the thinking stages at this point, so I'm...
