Hey, A couple of weeks ago I posted in another section, my question about whether it was weird to keep my runabout but buy a bigger boat for hanging out on, you know overnighting, and occasional longer trips. (Am I weird?) Wellll...... Ran into my hubby's friend from long ago---lost touch---at a local marina and she showed us her 33 ft 1993 Carver Mariner. GREAT boat. Now I'm in love with those. We'll keep our runabout and save up for a good condition used one ---in a couple of years when we get tired of the runabout, we'll move up to something like that, the Aft cabins are nice, too. Anybody have experience with or knowledge of Carvers?
