1976 Carver 2866 Santa Cruz

Carver Santa Cruz 28' with trailer

28'4" length w/ 10'4" beam. Flybridge cruiser with dual operating controls. Stern drive single 454 Mercruiser. Convertible dinette, v-berth, private head, 120 volt shore power, refrigerator, sink. Custom Loadmaster trailer included.

Wasn't in great shape when we bought it, but made for a good river cruiser. Had a kid and the boat has been sitting ever since. We keep it covered, but it needs some repair - mostly water intrusion - wood window trim, bulkhead, aft deck and engine hatch covers need re-cored. Wife and I started working on some of the areas needing attention, but don't have the time, energy and wherewithal to get it done, and don't want to see it sit any longer.

Upholstery (vinyl flybridge seats, fabric cabin and v-berth) was redone and has been stored indoors. The engine always ran strong and provided plenty of power.

Photos are current. Tarp covered with PVC structure underneath to keep the snow/ice from accumulating.

Threw in a few photos that show some of the work we started on.
