I have always enjoyed Carvers. I wouldn’t listen to the hate, or other people’s negativity. There will always be people that are going to have something to say! Enjoy your purchase and congratulations !
One engine or two? Fuel capacity? Maximum range? If two use's twice as much i might want one. If I ever take the plung I will be looking at maximun range as a priority.
I'm with you. Must have two engines to do the loop. You must skirt down the west coast of Florida and part of the west coast while you bounce in and out of the inner coastal water ways. The Gulf of Mexico is rather large and you hit one of the tidal currents and your single engine goes kaput and you are now a couple hundred miles out in the gulf when the Coast Guard begins to start looking for you. And if you are going through the swamps of Florida in order to cut through the state and you lose engine and you are stuck possibly grounding yourself in a place filled with large predatory reptiles.
With you on two engines. If 1 then I think the stern thruster more important then the bow since going into reverse pulls the stern to starboard typically. could live w 1, but bow and stern thrusters would be a must and hopefully that small get home motor. Not practical on that size boat
Interesting, is this a statistic you have found? I can understand that thought process. However, every great loop buyer I have sold a boat to this year, have all purchased dual motors.
@@BlayneTheBroker I’ve followed some loopers on TH-cam and read a lot of stuff about it. Don’t get me wrong, 2 engines are much more comforting but outside of crossing the Gulf it’s not to concerning and most of the people I’ve seen do it go with buddy boats anyway. It’s double the cost of fuel if you run both motors and there’s really no need for speed on the loop. Kinda defeats the point.
So most of the people you have seen do the loop have more than one motor available to them. They just got someone else to incur the cost! I won’t argue, that’s a good idea!
A nice clean looking older boat that doesn't look old. It looks as you say to have been well taken care of. Thank you for the tour.
Thank you for watching! Hope you enjoyed it. Appreciate every view!
nice walk thru!
Thank you! Thanks for tuning in
Fun drinking game. Take a sip every time this dude says "loop"
How many sips would you have taken?
Wow super clean
Buy it!
Nice and tight! Very well cared for. I agree, very versatile. 😉
Thanks for checking out the video! Just got done surveying the boat last week, and running a mechanical survey on the boat on Friday.
I just purchased my first boat, a 1987 Carver. Why all the hate on Carver boats…they’re very high quality…great vessel.

Ready for your next boat, Blayne
Just posted one yesterday!

Sounds like you have done some time on the loop!
Nice!
Thanks! Couldn’t have made it without the legend himself
Great boat! Those didn’t look like gas burners though. Aren’t those electric coils?
You are correct, they are electric burners! We are surveying the boat right now

Glad I’m not the only one! Thought I would be eaten up in the comments! Haha
Carvers have weird little spaces in the back
Beautiful boat but 1 engine is for lakes except Michigan
Would like to know the range.
That’s a good question. Holds 300 gallons of diesel, so range will depend on conditions and cruising speed
Odd configuration, the salon is absurdly small for a 37ft boat. I don't get it.
Giving up salon space for a lower helm and a cockpit. Have to decide what you value more.
The raised pilot house is what you're seeing.
What the loop? And why won’t this bot last long?
The great loop is a rout boaters take around the US. And it didn’t last long because of the condition, price and features.
Most loop boats are single engine for less costs
