Carver 3467

Excellent open cabin layout with walk through from bridge to bow. In my opinion this layout works very well and is unique to these Carvers. Recently rebuilt electric head with freshwater flush. Enclosed shower stall. Possible to sleep 6. Very comfortable with up to 4 adults. You can lower the table for the settees to make into bunks. Appliances are old but clean and include a microwave, electric stove/oven, and dual voltage refrigerator (takes a while to cool). Overhead storage that looks like the airplane above head compartments is excellent and was not present on all Satego 34’s. Forward bunk has a memory foam mattress. All interior cushions are in pretty good shape. Exterior stern bench seat and both captains seats are excellent. Other miscellaneous cushions have seen better days but are definitely still usable. Canvas bimini top on bridge is usable but might want to replace in the next couple years. Easy swim platform for boarding and and has integrated storage locker.

These Carvers have a very strong all glass hull with large stringers. 1” balsa cored decks are all very stiff. Structurally they are much stronger than today’s boats. I also re-cored (with epoxy) the area where the bow cleats are and installed large backing plates in addition to the large factory backing plates. New deck fittings for water and pump out. When I installed the new deck fittings and anchor chain hole I sealed the core with thickened epoxy. Mounted on the bow is also a 65 lb bruce (oversized) and electric windlass.

There are no blisters on the hull. A previous owner spent thousands on a soda blast and barrier coat job. I am currently sanding the antifouling and will be applying two coats for this season.

This is a dual motor boat. It came with the blue water package and therefore has the larger 7.4L motors instead of the standard 350’s. I am pretty meticulous and therefore have fixed all the issues that I have come across. Most boats of this era have problems unless they were repowered recently. Both motor’s were overhauled in 2006. This is list of what I have done over the last 5 years:

Fixed all the small oil leaks that were present
Remote oil filter adapter gasket
Oil hose to remote filter
Fixed all small coolant leaks
New thermostat housing on starboard motor
Removed and cleaned both heat exchangers - motors run at precisely the temperature they were designed for
New temperature sensors
New oil pressure sensors
Fixed audible alarm that detects low oil pressure, high coolant temperature, and high transmission fluid temperature
Replaced all exhaust risers
New spark plugs, wires, distributors
New or rebuilt raw water pumps
Fixed all engine gauges on the bridge (although one RPM gauge is intermittent but there is a syncro so you can match the RPMs of the engines)
Cleaned heat exchangers on V-drives
Rebuilt starboard V-drive (turns out there was nothing wrong with it and it was just a spark plug wire that caused a very slight misfire and made the drive noisy at idle)
Rebuilt hydraulic helm

The solar install that I did consists of two 200W 24V (less voltage drop than 12V) panels. 10 AWG wire runs from each panel to a Victron (best brand)  solar charger then 10 AWG to each battery. The deep cell marine batteries are always charged and you can leave the batteries in the boat over the winter (only depleted batteries freeze).  

I have labeled every single wire I have gone through. I must have used a mile of label tape haha.

There is an inboard generator that I replaced the starter in two years ago. I never used it much after doing the solar install. The last time I started it, it was putting out 90V and I haven’t diagnosed it. I do have some maintenance parts for it including a new timing belt.

There are two reverse cycle A/C and heat pumps. These were working the last time I turned them on. I’m pretty sure they still work but I don’t have shore power to test them and they probably won’t like the 90V that I am getting out of the generator. 

Miscellaneous:

New hot water heater (engine heated and electric)
There is a TV and bluetooth sound system (6 speakers in total with 4 of them being new)
New cover for the console on the bridge
Installed water tight hatches for the storage under the side seats on the bridge
After re-coring some of the bow I went around and epoxy filled every other place that the core could potentially be open to water egress so I would never have to re-core again
I have some foam teak to put down where I removed the carpet in front of the settees and if I get a change I will install.

Converted at least half of the interior cabin lights to LEDs
Seacocks are all operational (I lubricate them every season). Although I have never opened and closed the waste valve but it looks to be in great condition.
It has a saltwater washdown that I installed a new pump for however, I didn’t size it correctly so it trips the breaker. It is pretty straightforward to get the correct one and replace.

Original manuals. All owners documentation and work receipts add up to a 4” stack of papers. Wiring diagrams included. I can send you a link to the engine service manual on my google drive. 

I left the boat at a marina and one of the corner dock pads fell off and put some deep scratches in the gelcoat. I redid the gelcoat and unfortunately the color doesn’t match. I assure you it is not structural and if I have time I may possibly re-do it.

This has taken trips to Matha’s Vineyard, Cuttyhunk, and Block Island. It is a great boat and I look forward to selling it to someone that will get as much enjoyment from it that I have had. I'm selling because I have a sailboat now.
