    Hi,

    My Carver is in need of some big repairs. I am looking for the following parts:
    Starboard window frame and assembly.
    starboard bow rail
    swim platform
    rub rail
    the plastic side vent louvers for both sides

    I have an album of the photos loaded in my profile. link included below.

    We are still waiting on insurance to evaluate but we did many upgrades to the boat and we would hate to have to start over with another boat.

    Any suggestions on finding parts so they dont have to be fabricated will save me a lot of cash!

    Thanks for any advice.

    In the current market, your boat is likely way over insured. She has some substantial damage. If the insurance company totals your boat, you may be better served to shop around and find a really nice, fresh water boat that you can buy at a bargain. If insurance offers repairs, leave it to the professionals. To fix that damage yourself may prove to be a struggle.

    if they offer you money for her take it, if they say fix turn her over to the pro's the cracks in that fiberglass are going to be long and deep.
