Re: Answering a question about a Carver 370/390

Rick, I spent the day at the new boat. I learned a lot about how it was assembled. My mechanic and I believe Carver took the best of Trojan and the best of Carver and made some really good and underappreciated boats. No wood below the water line including stringers like the 10 meter. I found that they used threaded plates glassed it to the deck for bow rail attaching. So no need to tear apart the interior to service most deck hardware.
I found the sales brochure on line somewhere but no owner manuals. Luckily I found a storage spot on the boat that has a ton of paper work in it. I brought it home and will review it this weekend.
Mine also has a deep draft but I can't recall at the moment. And yes it has huge wheels and rudders compared to the tiny gear on the F-32. A much better dead rise too.
I looked on the Carver site and you're right they don't even list your model. I wonder if it's built on the 40ft hull kinda like mine on the 35ft.
What kind of performance numbers do you get? I was told some numbers on mine but I don't believe them. Time will tell.
Merry Christmas
Dustin
