It is true there is a lot less risk in these gas 454s than any diesel. In our marina you can swap out a long block in a day for 6k. If the boat is...
I'd probably look into changing out the reduction gears and props to achieve more speed as well. Our 56 Hatt had the mod done by a previous owner...
Always been done through the starboard side hatch in the salon floor. Lift it up and lay on the top of the motor worst case.
Virtually every boat in that size range has a core of some type in the decks. The only problem would be if someone added something and didn't seal...
I actually just started googling around after I posted that and was going to comment on the move, I believe it does seem like a better fit for...
Carver and Marquis are now owned by a completely separate entity than Irwin (For about 3 years now) and coming out with new boats annually. There...
We would have been able to keep the pump on our 56 Hatt, but we figured if we're replacing everything we may as well have all brand new with one...
They would.... But they will be no easier to find than the ones offered on the 370. Anything will have to be custom. Take a look at a 355 with...
We did for sure!
I know of a few older Trojan internationals with 454 Crusaders that have only had tune ups and oil changes with over 3500-4000 hours on them and...
I think I was probably traveling from Harrison township around the same time on a 56 Hatteras. We had those conditions on Huron the whole way.
Steeling beauty is in New Buffalo right near me. The interior I am sure is very nice but the exterior has languished a bit I am affraid. The...
I went straight to the original wiring, no issues.
I had the same lights in my 1994 370... I ended up replacing them all when I replaced my carpet with small external mount LED accent lights on the...
Generally most carvers did not have the filters. 20 years on mine without filters. No smell, nothing.
It is rare that the boat has Cats in it and it would be even more rare that it has 3208's in 97 from Carver. Most likely 3126's
My 370 which is the same model has a gen fuel selector valve, same for both engines too. They are in a line to the starboard side of the generator.
Was this boat out of Illinois?
In a 42 I seem to recall it over near the dinette in the salon wall.
I am also interested as I am looking at a 56 Hatt for similar use.
