Owners comments:
The Carver 3607 is a semi displacement motor boat, she is like a Tardis inside and could be a comfortable live aboard as well as a competent sea going vessel. Powered by two International V8 diesels, these engines are fitted to many American busâ??s /tractors and are very well made! This boat being the first to be imported into the UK, was completed by B.A. Peters at Birdham Pool, Chichester and was the subject of a Boat report by Motor Boat and Yachting in 1981 when new.
The previous owners have spent a lot of time and money modernising and improving her over the years, including new Raymarine radar, chart plotter, auto helm, bow thruster, davit arms etc.
