    Carver Sewer Smell

    We have an '90 Carver Santego 3867 and every time we flush the head there's a strong sewer smell on the outside of the vessel. We've had the waste tank flush (emptied) thinking that it was probably full but it still continues to smell every time we flush the head. We've also poured in the...

    Sliding Patio Door handle/lock

    We are desperately trying to locate a patio door lock/latch for our 1990 Carver 3867 Santego. I've tried calling Carver who sent me to a distributor who hasn't returned any of my calls. This part is probably specific to Carver as I've tried getting parts from the local Home depot, Lowes Etc...

    Reinforced Fiberglass vs. Fiberglass hulls

    We've been looking to purchase a motor yacht and find that some hulls are described as "fiberglass" and others as "reinforced fiberglass". Can anybody describe their differences and the pro's and con's of each. I don't want to make a bad purchase.

    Houseboat Hunting

    Not sure if this is the correct place to ask about houseboats. Am looking at purchasing a used houseboat to be used at Lake Mohave. I have learned a lot in the past few weeks but would like other folks input and/or recommendations. I'm thinking that we need to find aluminum tubes (steel hull...

    Question about Keeping tubes shining

    We've cleaned the tubes on our 'toon and am very happy with the results. We plan to get a nice shine on them using "Eagle" brand aluminum cleaner (as suggested by some other threads) however, I'm worried if I go through all this effort to get them shinning like a brand new penny, they will just...

    1-1/4 bimini tops & hardware

    I am looking to replace the bimini and I'm sure most will agree the 1.25" square tubing would be stronger than the 1" but I what I'm not sure of is the hardware. Our original bimini had the aluminum brackets with the pins attached by a small cable. I found this to be a big problem in that...

    How to tell what in our Logs?

    We purchased an 1998 Crestline 2080 Sport - it was very basic but have since then COMPLETELY REFURBISHED everything. Now it's a beautiful lounger type pontoon that is very comfortable. (bye bye fishing boat). Though we've never encountered any problems with our logs, we are curious as to how...
