Just purchased a used 12 Meter Express Cruiser and will be needing some parts.
First on the agenda is to replace a couple plastic guage covers.
MarineTech does not have them, referred by Carver.
Does anyone know who the original instrument vendor was for the instrument console. Hopefully if still in business I can contact them and see if they have any in stock.
Thank you,
90 12 Meter

Hello Frank,
Actually, just put it in the water, St Croix River, Hudson, WI
1990, I think I got it for an OK price, less than asking.
Previously had a 10-Meter for 12 years that I refurbished, new cockpit, galley etc..
Plan to do the same with this 12-Meter.
The boat I purchased is still listed on the Ineternet at

Already discovering OEM parts are hard to find for these ol'guys.
If you do purchase the 12-Meter and need parts however, Carver recommended this guy to me and he does have parts.
John L, 717-684-4145 Marinetech.
He came up with the in dash Compass I need.
Originally thought I needed to just replace the plastic lens (is foggy) but in researhing VDO instruments, the lenses are sealed to the guage and impossible to remove without breaking.
I really like Trojans, would love to afford a new one but they built these guys (Prior to Carver owning <93) with attention to quality, craftsmanship and material.
Good luck with your purchase, let me know what you did.
