[Sold] - $79,900 - (1997) Carver 400 Cockpit Motor Yacht For Sale
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 8 มิ.ย. 2022
- This 1997 Carver 400 Cockpit Motor Yacht is the perfect boat to consider if you are looking for a boat you can enjoy spending extended time onboard. My wife and I fell in love with this boat so much, that we genuinely considered making an offer and moving onboard full time. It was only the combination of working from home, with a husky and grand baby that made us hold off for now.
The boat is powered by twin 330hp Crusader 454 XLI MP (7.4 Liter) gas engines with less than 1000 hours on the clock. This gives a comfortable cruising speed of around 18 knots. There is also a 6.5 kw generator onboard, that again has well under 1000 hours logged.
The real selling feature of this boat is without doubt the accommodation. You have a double guest cabin on the bow, a well-equipped galley including full height fridge/freezer, a spacious guest heads compartment, a dining area that converts to an extra berth if needed, a spacious saloon with reclining leather sofa, and a large ensuite owners’ stateroom aft.
On the outside, you have sun pads on the bow, a large flybridge that can probably seat 6 - 8 adults, a raised aft deck with more seating, and a lower aft cockpit that would be especially beneficial for fishing from.
At only $79,900, this boat offers tremendous value for money, and I would be willing to bet it will not remain on the market for long. This yacht at the time of shooting this video was for sale in Hilton Head Island, South Carolina with Mark Zeigler Yacht Sales. You can reach the listing agent Keith Nightingale directly on (843) 209-9778 or check out their website at www.mzyachts.com
I hope you enjoy this video!

I bought a 97 Carver CPMY 40 here in Santa Barbara last year. I live on it full time and can tell you it is very livable. It is so much cheaper than buying a home and definitely more fun.
That's awesome 🤠 Congrats on living the dream 😀
As long as you want to live small. I choose not to be like that.
@@mountainmandale1587 sometimes less is more.
what do you do about cleaning your laundry?
@@thebeardedseeker5633 most marinas have full toilet, shower, and laundry facilities. The typically come with wifi now too 😎
Had a carver myself.
Upon inspection by marine survey.
Boat came in way above asking price.
Surveyor recommended to replace all hoses and double clamp them and all belts be replaced along with a new hotwater heater.
With the monies i saved, it was a win, win situation.
Did the work myself, with a couple of friends.
Sold it a few years later, for more than what i paid for it
Owned several houseboats and cruisers. Although the Carver was much smaller than my houseboat, it was so easy to maneuver and fun to own. The only thing I didn't like was having the engines and generator under the salon floor. It made it difficult to work on and it concerned me because in case of an engine, transmission failure, it would become a lot bigger job to have repaired.
Thanks for watching and for the feedback. Hopefully this video helped trigger some good memories of your own Carver.
I agree that engine access can go a long way to making bigger projects easier. If I remember right, more sections of flooring could be lifted under the carpet if you needed it. I just lifted enough to get a quick shot of what was down there for everyone to see.
A two bedroom apartment with a free boat.. that got me laughing.. Well said.. Would rather have diesel but I could see myself living the rest of my life on this boat.. If my wife goes before me I think I might do just that.. Thanks my brother.. I enjoy this channel.. I also watch aquaholic and enjoy you both.. Carry on!
This would be a great liveaboard. My jaw hit the deck when my wife said maybe we should buy it. I'm glad I caught that phrase on camera even if it never made the final editi lol. What has you concerned over the gas engines vs diesel?
@@GarnockReviews reliability.. diesels are way more reliable than a gas.. I have worked on engines since the early 60's and diesels are much better in situations when you need torque and a motor that will last a lot of miles.. Keep that footage of your wife.. you may be able to use it down the road!!😁
What a cool little boat. In a few years when I retire, I hope I can find something similar.
I always like the look of a carver for a yacht that falls between 35 and 70 ft.
They are very well designed and equipped for their size. Sure feels a lot bigger than 40ft when onboard 😎
Great model. My father had a 1994 390 in this aft transom deck model. This boat ran well on the great lakes for us.
I've seen the 390 and it's a great looking boat as well. They make fantastic cruisers for their size. I used to think liveaboards were 50+ ft but they make it possible at 40ft instead 😉
Hi Garnock Reviews, Thank you for this nice show of this Carver 400 a very interesting boat with 2 sleepingrooms and bathrooms great with a nice salon and dinette thanks again a nice show
Thanks Manuel. Have you ever seen a Carver? There used to be a few in the UK but not sure about mainland Europe.
another great episode and excellent review!
Thanks Gary, glad you enjoyed it 🤠
This is quite nice. A great boat for someone beginning to try life on the water.
Thanks Don 🤠 This would be a great first big boat for someone who is into cruising or even liveaboard use
Great presentation and a fine yacht
Thanks Mike 🤠
This is an incredibly well kept boat
Thanks Orie, I agree 🤠
A solid value for the price. The engine room is the only place the vessel is starting to show it's age. Couldnt really ask for a better engine setup in a gas powered setup, the big-block 454 is rock solid. Pending a satisfactory marine survey, I'd snatch this one up.
Carvers offer great value for money, and this one didn't disappoint at all. Sold quickly with multiple buyers lined up had the original deal fallen through. Thanks for watching 😎
Fantastic value. Very nice review.
Thanks Jim, glad you enjoyed it. I agree about the fantastic value for money 🤠
Nice boat . You will be investing in the engine room . I see a lot of dry dock work to be done. Belts and hoses with a list of other maintenance items to address. Along with a really thorough engine room cleaning. I spent most of my life on a boat. My Dad and Grandfather made it clear that the engines and the engine room aways come first. You can live with the rest.
This one sold real quick and had a long list of people waiting on standby should the deal fall through. I agree that looking after the engine room is a great way of looking after your investment.
OMG! Those engines are done!!
What makes you think that? Low hours, no leaks, no smoke, and the owners still using the boat while it was on the market 🤷♂️
Wasn't planning on purchasing until 2026, but if this one were still available, I'd have definitely changed my date.
Of all the boats I've shared, this one by far had the most buyers in line waiting on the deal falling through for whatever reason. If we could clone a boat, this is the one to clone 😉
Sweet Boat for the money. I'd have to get a water maker. Great price.
Thanks Randal. Don't recall seeing a water maker on this one, but they should be relatively easy to install. I still think this boat is one of the best value for money boats on my channel 🤠
When I retire in 13 years I am going to be buying some type of an ocean traveler to live in for a few years and see the world....possibly the rest of my days. Between now and then I'm saving as much as I can and learning as much as I can.
It's great to have goals and dreams to aim for 🤠
Closer to my price point, this one I could do with a scratch off! I did quite a bit of work for Galati Marine on Anna Maria Island before they expanded, they sold Carver yachts.
Great value for money in this one. I see it selling quickly as it is much closer to more peoples budget than some of my other videos
in love with this beautiful boat
I don't blame you at all, it's a favorite of mine too......especially at that price! 🤠
Excellent presentation.
Thanks Michael, glad you enjoyed it 🤠
Excellent for Bohemian run for week or so. Or fishing in the Gulfstream.
This would be a great fishing trip with both deck space on the outside, and comfortable accommodation in the inside 🤠
Brings back memories. These Carvers were classic, well regarded boats here in Ontario, Canada. They sold a lot of them here. A new one would be close to $400,000 Canadian dollars. I am suspicious of engine hours. If this was a fresh water boat, with our 5 months of boating, I would be suspicious, 36 hours per year or 2.5 per week. Not buying it.
This is a southern, salt water boat, so the hours are even more suspicious. The price in general is very good.
This is a summer cottage for very little money.
Cheers from Toronto
Thanks for watching and appreciate the feedback. I can't say for sure with this particular example, but in general it doesn't surprise me when good liveaboards have low hours. They often become floating homes and not really used as boats as much. I wouldn't be surprised that happened with this one too
@@GarnockReviews it's not rocket science to disconnect the hour counters.
@@guenthermichaels5303 I knew someone with a classic car that had 2 speedometers. The original on the dash had the fuse pulled so the mileage remained low, but the backup speedometer was used for the speed 😬
@@GarnockReviews A GPS will do the same.
I like the boat. Very nice
Thanks 👍I liked this one too, especially for the $$$
i love this boat
My wife and I both fell in love with this one within seconds of stepping on board 😎
Love it very nice
Thanks George, glad you enjoyed it 🤠
nice boat
I wish we could clone this one! It has had so many views and enquiries, they are somewhat rare to track down
Seems to me that you liked everything about this boat.... You should make an offer....
We seriously considered it, but moving onboard a boat right now isn't the right time for us. Work from home / husky / grand baby that spends a lot of time with us, just doesn't make sense for now
ok ,i like this boat alot
What is the manufacturer of the blue & white cruiser boat in the background with the bar stools on the swim platform? Great looking boat!
I cheated, I zoomed in on my desktop to check and can confirm it is from Cruisers Yachts lineup. I think it is a Cruisers 45 Cantius
from around 2012 or so based on what I am finding so far. Nice boat for sure, and not many boats with bar stools on the aft deck like that. Would love to chill out at that grilling station with a burger and cold drink while at anchor 😎
This is what I want to retire on.
That's not a bad plan in my book 😉
Agreed very nice and not far from me. Only downside is fuel being gas.
Glad you liked it, and you live in a nice part of the world 🤠 Curious, what has you concerned over gas engines?
@@GarnockReviews Gas more volatile than diesel.
I can understand where you are coming from on that one. However, of all the boats you have seen or know of, have you ever known a gas boat to ignite? We drive gas cars without fear, should we ditch the fear with boats too 🤷♂️
@@GarnockReviews Fuel economy will be better with diesel.
@@para1324 I need to do my homework on this one. I agree mpg or gph will be better with diesel. However, I opted not to buy a diesel car as the fuel and the servicing cost more than with gas. I'm curious, if I could breakdown the figures, can the same be said for a boat like this 🤔
We’re looking for a yacht used for under $100,000 live board with a sliding rear patio style window entrance. Two bedroom two bathroom. Can you recommend some models in that price range?
Wonder what regular insurance is? Or for that matter....Hurricane insurance? I suppose, you could always launch, and sidestep a storm. ??
There are a lot of factors to consider, but I did find this on Progressive's website....... The average annual cost of a boat insurance policy at Progressive ranged from $245 in Minnesota to $652 in Florida between 2020 and 2021.*(See Disclosure)Disclaimer Boat insurance rates are impacted by many factors including age, boat type, boating history, coverages, and location.
is possible to eliminate the seating in front the pilot,and move the pilot in front?
I'd imagine it could be done. It's not going to structurally change anything. If you have the time and money, anything is possible 😉
in Australia around $125 k if get it here
I'd love it, but I can't afford it. Maintenance alone, even as a libeaboard would kill me.
I'd love it too. I work from home, have a Husky, and a grand baby that stays with us a lot too, otherwise we would probably have made an offer for this one. My wife isn't a big boat fan and even she was hooked in seconds when stepping onboard 🤠
Does this boat have air conditioning and heat? I didn't see any mention of either of them. Is there a location suitable for a laundry unit? Thank you
Hey Jerry, this one is now sold so I don't have access to the spec sheet any more. I can confirm it had hot and cold air conditioning. It was super hot the day I filmed it, and I remember the boat being very cold in the inside. I didn't want to leave 🤪
As to laundry, I wouldn't recommend it on a boat like this. This boat is aimed at coastal cruising and virtually every marina now has laundry facilities. If you put it on the boat, it is taking up space, weight, water, and power.
Find another one at that price and in that condition and...SOLD!
I wish I could clone this one for sure! I did film something similar for not too much more $$$ th-cam.com/video/snjvyrODDfA/w-d-xo.html
Do you think this boat would be safe for coastal cruising?
This one was for sale in Hilton Head, South Carolina when I filmed it. I'd have no issues sailing this down to Jacksonville, Florida if I were lucky enough to have bought her.
What was behind the curtain behind the settee?
It's just leading out to the cockpit area and the sliding glass door etc. Well spotted though
What a great boat for $80,000, I'm looking for a carver40'can you assist me with my seach
I filmed this one recently that may be of interest th-cam.com/video/k1OSPSmjWnY/w-d-xo.html
Wonder what a diesel engine conversion would set you back?
I'm not sure to be honest. A lot would depend also how much was to be replaced. Could it keep the same tanks and transmission etc 🤔 I'd imagine the costs would be considerable that it's probably easier and more cost effective to just buy a diesel boat instead.
$100,000
Garnock reviews anything to do with the river garnock?
You can take the man out of Ayrshire, but can't take Ayrshire out the man 😉 I was born and raised in Scotland until I moved to Florida in 2008 at the age of 24.
@@GarnockReviews 😂 been out of Scotland for 35 years , but I do miss North Ayrshire 😢 I grew up in Dalgarven next to the garnock
I had many lunches at the Dalgarven Mill as a kid. Still have nightmares from those roosters roaming around outside like they owned the place 😜
How much is the monthly slip cost?
It varies based on location but ballpark, probably around $500 per month.
For the person/people who pays for this gorgeous boat, please let me know if you need any help hooking it up to my truck 😉
What would it cost for a slip for this boat, if used for a live-abord? Insurance costs? Operating costs? e-mail me please. Thank you.
Can you email me at Boats@GarnockReviews.com and I can reach out to you?
Good
is there a way to get this to east africa?
Years ago I helped with many crazy deliveries. I helped arrange a boat to be flown out from Scotland to Kazakhstan, arranged delivery of a boat under its own power from Scotland to Greenland, and arranged delivery of a workboat from Scotland to Ghana to name but a few. It is possible to deliver this boat from South Carolina to East Africa, but the delivery will likely cost as much as the boat itself. It would be far better to try and source something closer to home for this one
are the motors diesel ?
Twin Crusader 454 XLI MP 7.4 Litre gas engines. 330hp each with around 900 hours on the clock
No AC?
I can't recall the details, but this one was fully air conditioned 😉
Saw a 1997. Xarv 44 4 feet bg then this. Nit uch dhfencer
Did u sell it???
Last I knew she was under contract but I don't believe it's 100% sold just yet. It got A LOT of attention, especially at this price point 😉
can we change to diesel engines,gasoline engines marinas are very dangerous
I'm sure it's technically possible. However, the costs involved in replacing the engines and potentially gearboxes and shafts, would make it a very expensive project.
they are safe ...until a spark
Alright
Let’s cut to the chase
$30,000
And I need it on lake Las Vegas
Monday
WHAT LANGUAGE IS HE SPEAKING ??????
English 🤦♂️
Fishing.....haha
My property taxes keep going up(twice in 1 year)I'm selling out buying a 45'-50' & live aboard the boat..
I don't blame you at all. I'd love to live on a boat, but right now, it's not practical for my family, but never say never 😉
@@GarnockReviews just me & 2 dogs
these carvers are not attractive, but they sure are practical and roomy.
I agree they don't exactly exude Italian elegance, but they make fantastic liveaboard cruisers. It's early days, but I may be getting onboard another Carver in a couple of weeks' time. I won't say no if given the option 😎
What??? Note, dock fees, and basic maintenance can't be more than $1200/mo. Just one weekend charter a month would not only cover the cost of this business opportunity, but be profitable.
There's a growing number of boats being used for Air BnB or similar to help either cover costs, or in some cases make a profit. This one is now sold, but I bet you could cover your costs easy doing something like that in the right location
@@GarnockReviews lets face it. Nobody will want to cruise any distance in a boat of this weight and displacement with gas engines (hence why it was so cheap). But, local charters that barely log three hours of runtime or don't even leave the dock...win!
The AirBnB thing scares me since many marinas have disallowed that type of 'subletting' and some have even banned partying on your own boat in your own slip. With dockage becoming harder to find, i don't know that I'd be willing to risk my space by having AirBnB clients at the marina unescorted and unsupervised. At least with a 'charter' that doesn't leave the dock, a person that's vested is always supervising. But, everyone has their own definition of risk and risk/reward.
Doubtful that a 25 year old boat with 1000 hours on gas engines doesn’t have big ticket bills about due.
I'd always recommend a professional survey and engine inspection, regardless if which boat it is. However, at face value, I'm not aware of any major issues with this boat at all. The engines start first time every time, you see them running with no smoke, no signs of major leaks etc. This one is great value for money 🤠
Gas engines are for “ski boats”…
That’s a ridiculous price for a boat that’s 26 years old
Sorry Dean, this one is now sold and had a long list of people lined up to make an offer if the deal fell through. Even this video alone has over 60k views, 100 comments, and hundreds of likes.
Out of curiosity, hypothetically speaking, if you were to make an offer, what sort of price do you think this one should have been for sale for?
Gas engines, yuck.
That's a .4mpg special.
Like most Carvers. Terrible loop candidate, that's a leave at the dock and air bnb special.
I honestly can't comment on the exact fuel consumption, for both gas and diesel on this one. However, it is worth pointing out both the fuel and the servicing costs more with diesel. You would need to factor in all costs before getting a clear answer on which is cheaper.
Curious, what makes you think this isn't a good boat for extended cruising such as the loop?
@@GarnockReviews The biggest reason I have against big inboard gas engine boats is.
Back in the early 80's when I was a kid, my dad had a 35' Bertram with twin gas engines.
We got on the boat one morning to go offshore, I was hauling ice to the coolers and just had gotten on the boat. My dad came in behind me and turned on the main battery switch.
About a second later there was an explosion and blew the engine covers off the cockpit, my old man was thrown out the boat and landed on the dock.
Some neighbors ran over to get him, and get me out of the boat, and help get the fire out.
After it was over, they found the mechanical fuel pump on one of the engines was dripping gas and filled the bilge with vapors, and one of the battery wires was loose and the 12v fridge turned on when the battery switch was turned on, and the loose connection caused a spark in the battery box in the bilge and caused the explosion.
To this day I dispise, and will never sleep on a boat with 300 gallons of gas on board.
My dad was very meticulous with maintenance and safety, would never crank the engines without lifting the hatches and checking for gas smell, and run the blowers. Even with all that, still had a bad accident that would have never happened with a diesel powered boat.
Also the mpg on that boat was terrible, his next boat was a 42ft Hatteras with twin Detroits, and even though those old 2 stroke diesels weren't known for fuel mileage, it still would use 100 gallons less fuel on a ledge trip than the old Betram.
Sorry you and your Dad went through all that, and glad to read he was ok. When I was a kid, my Dad had a Princess 38 with twin diesel inboards. We went to go out one time and for whatever reason, the seacock for the port engine was closed. When we put the power on leaving the marina, we burned out the impeller and the boat filled full of smoke. Fortunately, we cut the engine quickly and got the boat back without issue. To this day, even if it's a commercial passenger boat, I get jitters the first few mins leaving a marina or dock. Crazy how that stuff stays with you.
Nice boat, but I can’t understand a word this narrator is saying.
Have a couple of robust beers, and that accent will grow on ya mate!
If you’ve heard Robin William’s Scottish golf game monologue, you shouldn’t have any trouble understanding….
Nothing wrong with his accent...come on people
i love this boat
Glad you enjoyed it Mario, thanks for watching 🤠
