- Stock #[removed phone] - UPDATED, AFFORDABLE FAMILY CRUISER WITH GREAT LAYOUT AND ARRAY OF CREATURE COMFORTS - DINGHY INCLUDED!Among the most popular models Carver has produced in its nearly 50-year history, is the Mariner. This model remains popular today because it is ideally suited to the boater who is looking to buy their first cruiser without breaking the bank.The Mariner was introduced in 1983 and remained in production through the 1990 model year. They are what's commonly referred to as Flybridge Sedan cruisers which have no abrupt changes in the sheer line, the trunk cabin is a single level and there is a flybridge with steering and seating atop the trunk cabin. They are handsome boats with no styling features that would date them.Vessel was built by Carver Boat Corporation of Pulaski, Wisconsin - USA and her hull features a raked bow and square transom. The hull, decks and superstructure of this model are constructed of fiberglass composites using chopped strand and woven fiberglass fabrics. Balsa and plywood cores are used to strengthen and stiffen laminates. The structure is further strengthened with fiberglass liners as well as plywood stringers and frames encapsulated in fiberglass. The deck is fit over the hull in a shoebox fashion and secured with stainless steel screws and fiberglass tabbing.Most forward is a sleeping compartment, marine toilet/bathing compartment, and galley with main cabin with convertible settees and furnishings. The flying bridge is accessible from the cockpit with good access to the transom platform and side decks.The cockpit is about 45 square feet and has enough room for a couple of deck chairs or for several people to fish without getting in the way. There are large hatches in the cockpit deck for engine access and a door in the transom for convenient access to the swim platform. The side decks are less than a foot wide but are well protected by a stainless steel rail that is full height nearly to the cockpit. Machinery and electrical equipment is accessible from hatches at the cockpit. The vessel is powered by twin (2) Crusader [removed phone]-hp V-8 gasoline reduction machinery (builder's specifications). The main engines are coupled to Velvet Drive 10-17 marine transmissions with Walter V-drives. The vessel is equipped with 12VDC operated dewatering devices as well as 12VDC and (shore-powered) 30-amp 120VAC (volt AC) electrical systems with distribution panels, battery isolation switches, insulated wiring, and main - branch circuit over-current protection.The vessel is also equipped with a marine grade battery charger. Fuel is stored in aluminum alloy tank and the vessel's gasoline machinery is fresh water cooled.One feature of the 28-foot Mariner and that nearly every owner and prospective purchaser finds appealing is its huge flybridge with multiple configurations for seating and lounging. Normally configured, there are two forward-facing bench seats that will seat six people. While dockside or at anchor, the back of the helm seat may be flipped forward to make a U-shaped settee for entertaining.The main salon of the 28 Mariner is 11 feet long, 8 feet wide and offers as much living space as many 30-footers. The main salon has a settee to starboard just inside the companionway and a convertible dinette to port. Forward, the galley is to starboard and head and shower to port.The location of the twin Crusader 220hp engines is also important to note as it places the weight of the engines in the preferred location, which makes the cabin space quieter when the engines are running.*** Owner spent roughly $15K upgrading this Carver's radar systems, installing a brand new 20hp kicker ($5600), outside LED lighting around the boat and GPS software upgrades that are up-to-date.Please submit any and ALL offers - your offer may be accepted!
