I've been trying to tip-toe thru this but Quoting Pascoe helps. If you can shop a taller price, the payback may be lots more rewarding.
I had to repeat Pascals last line. Carvers are notorious for leaking tanks. Usually the outside bottom seam. Yes, where the wet trash collects on...
Some owner/sellers may not be lying, just don't know any better. Some owner/sellers are. Then there is the boat broker. To many are ex used car...
A shudder just went down my spine,, Oil change hose?
The dump can hose clamps are wrong and already look stressed. Needs replacements soon. Needed to be doubled clamped on that green stripped hose to...
